Does anyone here have access to Dublin archives and would look up a marriage for me?

I am searching for the marriage of Thomas Reid

In 1871 census he was living in Manchester with wife Mary Ann. His first children were born in Dublin, and the first child was born in 1856. Thomas was born about 1835, so the marriage was probably some time between 1853 and 1856. They were Catholics and Thomas worked as a Paper Ruler (presumably in the Collyhurst Paper Mill) in Manchester - but I don't know whether his occupation was different before he emigrated.

I do not know Mary Ann's surname.

Thanks.

Found a possible match for you, although I don't have full access to the records. The Irish Family History Foundation want â"šÂ¬5 per record...

There were two Church Marriages 1853 +-5 years in Dublin with that name. One was 1848, the other 1855.

I can't say 100%, although I would say given your dates the 1855 is most likely the one you're looking for.
