    Hello Margaret,

    I live in Stockton, California and am in need of some information about County Cork.

    My 3rd great grandparents, Daniel Derondo Delaney and Ellen Collins, were supposed to have been married 4 December 1849 in Buttevant, County Cork, Ireland. In Daniel’s Civil War pension file he states that he and Ellen were married ” by a catholic priest”.

    Could you please tell me what catholic churches are in Buttevant and where I might find a record of this marriage.

    Thank you,
    Sheri Fenley
