I am looking for information on my ancestors Mary FLYNN b. 1834 in Tullamore, Co Offaly or Kings county, and her parents John FLYNN and Bridget BROPHY. On her marriage cert in Victoria Australia in 1858 she has signed to say she was Roman Catholic. This is about all I know or can seem to find out without spending great amounts of money on her or anyone previous to her in Ireland. If anyone can help me further with this it would be greatly appreciated.
thankyou
Helen

There are baptisms on RootsIreland (pay-website) that seem to fit for your Mary and also several possible siblings - Patrick 1832, (Mary 1834), John 1837 and Biddy 1841. The parish for these is Tullamore RC. The transcripts, which you have to use credits to access, would show a little more detail - usually names of godparents, and possibly a more detailed location.
Tullamore marriage records go back to about 1801, but I dont see anything promising for a marriage of John and Bridget in the parish or parishes elsewhere in Co. Offaly or neighbouring counties with records available on RootsIreland, but bear in mind that many parishes do not have records back this far.
