MARRIAGES (IRELAND) ACT 1846 - SECT 1

In case of marriages intended to be solemnized in Ireland between parties one of whom resides in England, notice to be given to registrar of the district in England where the party has resided seven days preceding, &c.

1.] In any case of a marriage intended to be solemnized in Ireland between
parties one of whom shall be resident in England, such party so resident in
England shall give notice in the form used in England in that behalf, or to
the like effect, to the superintendent registrar of the district within which
such party shall have dwelt for not less than seven days then next preceding,
and shall state therein the name and surname and the profession or condition
of each of the parties intending marriage, the dwelling place of each of them,
and the time, not being less than seven days, during which each has dwelt
therein, and the church or other building in which the marriage is to be
solemnized, provided that if either party shall have dwelt in the place stated
in the notice more than one calendar month, it may be stated therein that he
or she hath dwelt there one month and upwards; and such notice shall be dealt
with in such manner, and such certificate shall be given by such registrar in
such manner, as is prescribed in the Marriage Act, 1836, provided that in such
case such certificate shall not be issued before the expiration of seven days
from the entry of such notice as aforesaid; and from and after the expiration
of seven days from the issuing of such certificate the production of the same
to the person duly authorized under the provisions of the said first-recited
Act to grant a licence for marriage in such case shall be as valid and
effectual to all intents and purposes for authorizing such person to grant a
licence for marriage, and such certificate shall be as valid and effectual for
all other purposes under the provisions of the said first-recited Act, as any
certificate of a registrar of a district in Ireland would be under the said
Act if such party giving such notice were resident within such district in
Ireland and the other party to such intended marriage were also resident
within another registrar's district in Ireland.
