Can someone clarify whether Ardcarne church, Roscommon Co., was a Catholic Church in 1856 when my two times great grandparents where married.  Marriage records indicate that they were wed in Cootehall, Elphin parish but  local relatives have indicated that they were married in the Ardcarne church?  I am reading that Ardcarne  is Church of Ireland which I thought meant it  was Protestant.

  • If you can provide names and dates including maiden names then I will try to help you as there are 6151 marriage records for Cootehill in the civil index
