  • Hi Annette,

    I searched on rootsireland.ie for the marriage of Michael Dwyer and Ellen McCarthy 1836 Tipperary but got no matches. However, when I omitted the McCarthy surname but kept all other criteria I got a match.

    The parish is Carrick-on-Sur.

    There was also a birth of Ellena McCarthy in Tipperary parents McCarthy and Hill in 1860!

    I suggest you post your message again to Carrick-on-Suir parish on this site.
