Civil registration is the government recording and registering of births, marriages, and deaths. Registration began in Ireland in 1864.  However, registration of Protestant marriages had begun earlier in 1845.  Births, marriages and deaths were registered with district registrars.  Registration districts were set up within the boundaries of the existing Poor Law Unions.  Because Irish civil registration records are indexed and cover most of the population, they are an important source of genealogical data, particularly of names, dates, relationships, and places.

| Marriage date, place and denomination (for church marriages); names of bride and groom, their ages (frequently given as “full age”); occupations, marital statuses, residences at the time of marriage; names and occupations of their fathers, and sometimes whether their fathers were deceased (this is not consistent); signatures of the bride, groom, and witnesses. Marriages were usually performed in the bride’s parish and were registered by the performing minister, priest or registrar. In the Irish Republic since 1956 both parties’ dates of birth and parents’ full names have been recorded in addition to the future intended town or country in which the couple intend to reside.

There are two index systems used to catalog the civil registration information; the GRO index and the GRONI index. If you have GRO index information, you must obtain the registration from a repository that catalogs the information based on this index and vice versa for the GRONI index information. '''GRO indexed '''information is shown in '''bold''' and ''GRONI indexed ''information is shown in''italic''.
