Jackie,

Here’s John O’Kane in 1911:

John’s marriage to Annie Mullan was registered in Coleraine on 26.10.1922. You can view the original certificate on-line on the GRONI website, using the “search registrations” option: 

https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk

You will need to open an account and buy some credits. It costs £2.50 (sterling) to a view a certificate. 

For Marion's birth, the records are not searchable on-line. GRONI is the only repository for birth, death and marriage records in what is now Northern Ireland, from 1.1.1922 onwards. (Ancestry and other websites don’t have them).

Births in Northern Ireland within the past 100 years, marriages within the past 75 and deaths within the past 50 aren’t searchable on-line. They are open to the public, just not on-line. If you know all the key details eg exact date and place of birth, parents names etc, you can order a copy of a certificate from GRONI for £15. https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk

But if you don’t have all the information (as in this case), you need to get in touch with them to get a search done.  They will do a 5 year search for £7 and if they find a matching certificate you can purchase it for £8, coming to a total of £15. It will be posted out a few days later. You pay over the phone using a credit card. You type your number in on the phone keypad. They won’t deal with this by e-mail as you need to be available to type in your credit card number. (They don’t want its details for obvious reasons).

Phone: 0300 200 7890 (+44 300 200 7890 from outside the UK).
