Find Ancestors

I am trying to locate the parents of John F Bullen, who was born in Dublin,Ireland in 1942.
he did come to England and married Patricia Oakley in Colchester in1962. I can't seem to find any information on him in Ireland using free searches. if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated x

Look at the Irishbmd site. Google for link

Buy a copy of his marriage cert for his father’s name - if known

Unfortunately I dont know his parents names and any searches I have tried, including your suggestion dont bring anything up. thank you for your advise though x

For our reference:

You know the details of his marriage . As Erika says - Buy a copy of his marriage cert - that will give you his father's name if known.

Is John F still alive or deceased? (If alive, I'll delete the birth details.)

aww thank you! he is deceased. this has given me something to wok with. ahh I see what Erica meant now, you have to excuse my ignorance on this I'm a bit of a newbie :-S
