With your help and suggestions I found a birth for Mary Ann Richardson I am now trying to find her parent's marriage record. I have looked in all the free resources to no avail. The family are on the 1901 census in Hill Street Mountjoy but Thomas died in 1902 and their is no trace of Mary in 1911.
The marriage is for a Thomas Richardson to a Mary Faye in Dublin. Their oldest known child was James Richardson. born in Dublin on 28th July 1887. The only record that I could find was for Thomas Richardson to an Elizabeth Richardson in 1883 but today received a photocopy which was not the correct marriage

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Rambling Rose. Yes this is the right family. I have the baptism records for all 4 children. Just the marriage that has escaped me.

Reggie, I have Googled Irish BMDs. I have looked at familysearch and irishgenealogy sites and looked at what is listed on findmypast.

Nothing jumps out as being right . I have searched for a marriage between a Richardson and Faye with no luck. It seems Richardson is too common a surname.

Many thanks for your input.
