Rathdowney Marriages 1769 to 1773

Rathdowney Roman Catholic Parish
Marriages 1769-1773

Rathdowney Roman Catholic parish is an unusual one in that we have a parish register that goes back to 1769 for marriages.  Admittedly incomplete but very interesting to read.  The Parish Priest indicates the family relationship of some witnesses (it not all) to the couple being married.  Also, when the groom comes from a different parish this is also noted


A few names have been illegible there are also some names which are missing off the sides of the page and I have put can’t read in the columns for these entries.  The surnames of some of the witnesses can be read so for anyone who can’t find a marriage they are interested in they could go look at the witness surnames.  There are generally speaking always more than two witnesses.
