Am searching for church or civil office records of marriages to Irish brides by British Army soldiers stationed at the Curragh Camp in Kildare, during the 1905-1910 period. Was there a military church or chapel or were the marriages conducted in Newbridge, which appears to be the nearest town of any size?

Births 1864-1915
Marriages 1881-1940 - so fits your time frame.
Deaths 1891-1965
They are working on adding all marriages 1864-1881 plus Protestant marriages from 1845 and all deaths 1864-1891 but no time scale as yet for when this will be completed.
This Irish Government supported, official web site, is dedicated to helping you in your search for records of family history for past generations.
Happy hunting!

I'm researching my father's side of my family. He was born in Dundalk Co. Louth on 11 May 1908. He was William Parker, the son of James Parker. The family lived at Newbridge, Co. Kildare, where James Parker served in the British Army on the Curragh. I require further details on all members of this family and hope that information from a birth certificate or census might throw light on my research. The family were Church of Ireland, if this helps filter research. Jim Parker.

Thanks Elaine. Wonderful progress. I can add substantive evidence to my MyHeritage family tree and start working 'backwards' from great-grandparents John Parker and Richard Graham. You've achieved more in 5 minutes than I did in a year...Jim.

I have a marriage between a soldier stationed at the Curragh in 1903 but they were married in the brides home town (in England).
At least the census gives you the county in Ireland that Rachel was from.Last edited by JBee; 17-01-17, 10:10.

Originally posted by Parker View PostElaine, forgive me but I'm not getting best value from this site due to own ignorance. I want to deepen the Parker-Graham search through educated guesses at parish records. How did you find the previous information so quickly, please? Jim.
Click on Civil Records tab
First name = William
Last name = Parker
Year range 1908-1908 (as you had given the date of birth)
Tick box "births"
Only 9 results - scrolled through and saw one which was date of bith as 11 May 1908 (as given) - viewed image which confirmed name of father at that he was in the military.
As birth entry had given mother's maiden name as Rachel Graham I used that to search for the marriage as I felt it would be less common that James Parker.
Same principle - click on Civil Records
First name = Rachel
Last name = Graham
Year range = 1900 - 1908 (just guessing here as we had no idea how long they had been married - if there had been no result then I would have looked again prior to 1900)
Tick box "marriage"
Only 6 results - scroll through to the right one!Elaine

1901 and 1911 Ireland census free to search - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
I would try to see if you can find Rachel in 1901 (if you haven't already found her) which should help confirm parent's names.
You already have her father's name and occupation from marriage certificate. There also appears to be a witness with the surname Graham which could be a family member.
Will leave you to search but if you need help then do come back and ask. Someone will point you in the right direction.Elaine

Because of the civil unrest, there was no 1921 Census in Ireland. Instead, a census in 1926, leaving a 15 year gap. My father's RN Certificate of Service shows him enlisting for service as a 16 year-old Boy Sailor from a New Cottages, Moorfield, Newbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland place of residence in October 1924. An outside chance using the 1926 Census perhaps?

As I explained om your private address, the next Irish census information will be released in 2027 - and that's only the content of the 1926 Census. So effectively, research is frozen. I'm certain this has been brought to your attention before?
