I am searching for more info regarding my great grandmothers family.

Theresa b-1848 - Castlebar-Mayo - Marr- George Faulkner -1866 - Castlebar - Mayo.

Her maiden name was O'Brien but it is thought that her mother remarried so she took her stepfathers name, other possible maiden names are Heily or Keily.

Stepfather Michael, mother possibly Margaret or Ellin.

Theresa and George had 4 x children only 2 survived. George was a Trooper in the 12th Lancers based in Castlebar and Hanpton Court.Middx Barrocks.

Theresa died -17-Jan-1875 - age -27yrs - Castlebar-Mayo.

    The civil marriage index record showed two possible names and possibly she showed O'Brien and her stepfather's name. The marriage was registered in the Castlebar registration district and two possible names were show O'Brien and O'Kiely. The actual record will show the names of the fathers (possibly the stepfather for Teresa) and where the bride and groom were living in 1866. A copy costs around 4 euros and can be obtained from the General Register Office. I included instructions below the index record..

    Go to this link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx In the middle of the page there are links for birth, marriage or death certificates. Hit the link for the form you want. You will likely get a screen asking for a User Name and Password. (This is a program bug that the GRO has to correct). Hit cancel and the appropriate form should come up. Print the form and complete the requested information. Also provide the information from the index record--quarter/year of the event, registration district and the volume and page number where the event is recorded. Make sure you ask for a copy which costs around 4 euros. ( A cert costs closer to 20 euros). You can also ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you.
