I am looking for my greatgrandfather's family (David McBurney)-late 1800's, possibly a farmer. He married my g-grandmother(Josephine Fleming< daughter of Rachel Harbison and Robert Fleming). I have been told the Flemings owned a pub in Castleblayney that is still there.

Marriage between David S M?Birney and Josephine T Fleming registered in Castleblayney Jan ? Mar 1898 Vol 1, p[age 495.
You can order a photocopy from GRO Roscommon for ?4 per certificate. Put the place, year, quarter (where there is one), volume & page number on the application form (anywhere). Don?t worry about leaving some boxes blank. You don?t need to fill them all in if you have the reference details. http://www.groireland.ie/ You have to post or fax the form to them but they will e-mail the copy certificate to you if you wish. Tick the relevant box on the form.
Tradition was to marry in the bride?s church (assuming the couple attended different churches) so that may be the place to look for the bride?s baptism and that of any siblings. Unless it was a registry office marriage, the specific church and denomination will be on the certificate.
This looks to be the Fleming home, in West St, Castleblayney, in the 1901 census. It is listed as a hotel and private dwelling:

Robert appears to have died in July ? Sept 1904, and Rachel in Apr ? Jul 1907. Both deaths registered in Castleblaney.
