Everytime I try to find Irish records on above, all I get on screen is No matches found giving information, now I know I am giving pretty accurate dates etc. I would expect to hit lucky at least once. Am I missing something here? Help!!! AM

I have only been able to find one entry for my Irish ancestors. A marriage of my greatgrandparents. I had to do separate searches for bride and groom and compare ref numbers, as they didn't appear on the same page.

The bride Alice, had her name transcribed as Alicia. I think that sometimes too the priest may have used the Latin version of the names.
So it might help if I knew what the Latin version of Ellen, John. James etc were.
I hope that you eventually find someone in your family.

Try just putting a name and area they lived in and no dates.
