Hello All,
I have found an entry upon the Family Search website which relates to one of my Scott ancestors.....
Robert Scott, born 1835, married to Anne McDonald on 19th April 1864 at Cappagh, Tyrone, Ireland.
I would dearly like to obtain a copy of this parish register entry and wondered if anyone could inform me of how to go about this please.
Living in England I have learned the system & know how to go about tracking down English registers but I have been led to understand that the system is different in Ireland & I don't know where to begin apply to.
Any help & advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

You should be able to order the actual marriage certificate from this site https://www.
birthsdeathsmarriages.ie/certificates/marriage-certificate/ for a fee.
However if you are after parents they are in the indexes by 1864
Grooms Father: Alexnader Scott
Spouses Father: Daniel McDonald
This from the Irish Genealogy toolkit gives you an idea what you might expect to see on the full certificate.

Finding that answer took me a merry few minutes. Definitely went round a few houses doing it! (And not helped by my non-existent Irish geography.)
The easiest answer would be if you had a local LDS FHC nearby and you could order in the PR film, but the LDS haven't filmed that parish.
Plan B revealed that that LDS entry was based on the Irish equivalent of the GRO Index (enter the film number in the LDS catalogue), but when I searched that index I got zilch matches. Eventually I found a Robert Scott with an Anne M'Donald (sic) on the same page. Registration district Omagh. Volume 7, page 279. Year 1864.
I think this is where/how you need to apply for the certificate

It'll cost you fifteen quid, and (if the website info is correct) there's currently a 7-10 day backlog on issuing certificates.

The first link twigger gives looks to be a 'third party' company similar to some that provided BMD certificates from the GRO Index for about four times the cost of you applying direct. In this case, the company are charging a bit over twice the price as currently 40 Euros are equal to about £33.70. Companies offering such services are not acting illegally, merely taking advantage of your naiviety.
As a rule of thumb, when wanting to apply for BMD certificates always look for a URL address with 'gov.' in the address otherwise you could be paying over the odds.

Um, the plot thickens.
Using the first website the other Pamela gave in post #2, you get the same registration district, volume and page numbers I've quoted, but it also says 'quarter 1' which would imply a marriage between 1 January and 31 March. (Though I have found at least one example of a marriage listed in the wrong quarter in the GRO Index so mistakes can be, and are, made.)
The index also gives Anne's surname as McDonald, so I would order the certificate in the name of Robert only.

This is the official government website of ireland:
https://www.gov.ie/
I could only find a link to ordering Birth certs on there rather than marriage ones. Didn't occur to me Co. Tyronne records would be accessible from the Northern Irish BMD centre even before 1921.
