Letter of Freedom

I have spoken before about letters of freedom that were provided for post 1907 marriages.

The person who was marrying away from their home parish were asked for a letter of freedom from their home parish stating there was no record of the named person having married in the parish.

The priest would record in the baptismal register next to the certain person the details of the marriage. I have added below what is recorded in the baptismal registers of Co Louth.
