	Ellen/Helen and John's marriage: CALLAHAN ELLEN JOHN RIENY/FR708 (FR708) 03/09/1854 706 80 / 181 Dunbar The above parish record (too early for a statutory marriage cert) can be viewed/printed on SP for 6 credits - though it will have very little info on it - possibly only what has been transcribed above..
