William Gaffney married Sarah Jones 13 May 1838, Armagh  by  Rev Edward Ogle Disney.  How do I find out which church, or parish  this may have been?

  • Rev Disney's Wikipedia tree says he was a curate in Armagh (city) 1834-1844, so the marriage probably took place in the cathedral. You could check ArmaghChurch of Ireland cathedral's marriage records in PRONI. Plus they may be on rootsireland or other subscription sites.

  • PRONI's church records are not on-line. You have to go in person to look them up (or get a researcher to do that for you). Not all Irish records are on-line, especially Protestant ones, and so sometimes it's necessary to research in person to trace your family. This looks like one of those cases.

  • OK thanks.   Looks like a trip might be compulsory
