The condition of the original marriage records, a degree of difficulty in discerning the handwriting and quality of filming make transcription challenging and wherever possible the Artrea tithe applotment book (1825 and Griffiths Valuation (c1860) have been consulted in an attempt to confirm families and townland addresses.)
