Marriage Records, Maryborough, Co. Laois, 1850-55

Maryborough (Portlaoise), Laois (Queen’s Co.)
National Library of Ireland(NLI) (Dublin) film ref Pos. 4201


My references do not indicate that the LDS have a copy of this register even though they do have a copy of Mountrath which is on the same NLI film.  You will have to check this yourselves.

I have two notes about this set of parish records.  The register is in English.  My first notes on the actual condition of the filmed register is that it is in *terrible* condition.  I have written “VERY bad nick.  Hard to make out dates and writing terrible. Witnesses names seem to be missing in some places,, bride and groom don’t seem to be named in one entry, just the witnesses.  This is a terrible register!”

Later on the film, there is a transcript for Marriages 1850-1940

Of this I say, Modern transcript, arranged alphabetically.

In the material I transcribed more than one place name is mentioned in some entries.  For convenience I have moved all placenames into one column.  Please don’t take it that this is exactly the place either the bride or groom were from, it may have been given as the place that a witness was from.  Take this as a guide for place-names.  It is a long time since I transcribed this section of this register and I have no note to myself to tell me how much of the material I was transcribing.

All spellings are exactly as I read them
