Sarah’s TpTip

Catholic baptism records can also sometimes reveal marriage details s

As mentioned in Nicola Morris’ article on Irish Catholic records (see page 62), some baptism records include later marriage details in the margin. Proof of baptism is needed for Catholic marriages, and the church often made a note of the marriage on the baptism record itself. This can be extremely useful where marriage details are elusive, and of course is not limited to Irish Catholics.
