  Caragh (Downings) Marriage Index 1850-52

This is an index of the names of the people who were married in the Roman Catholic parish of Caragh (Downings) during the years 1850-52.  It runs until November 1852, the pages after this one were almost impossible to read up to Sept 1856. The following table of marriages is transcribed from Microfilm No. 4206 held online by the National Library of Ireland accessible through their Roman Catholic Parish Register Search page.   All names and surnames given here are as I read them.

My list is sorted by the surname of the groom.  Question marks indicate letters or words I had a problem reading.  The letters ‘sic’ indicate that is how I read the letters I have typed.
[ ] indicates that the letters within the brackets are my best guess at what the letters might be. n.g=not given.

Townlands are given.
