Find Ancestors

No birth cert exists for him..

He was married to my mother Brigid Taggart from Coalisland in 1943 Belfast i have the marriage cert and my granny Agnes Martha Coulter and my granda Thomas Morrow is on it all come from Newtownards direction.

So how come i cant find any trace of the Morrow line?

Have tried churches and graveyards and the BDM and am member of Emeraldancestors.com and Familysearchorg.

Yes Jayne i have indeed but no joy!

Is it really that usual to find no birth cert of someone born early in 1900's?

Hi Patricia,

I've been looking for my Dads birth cert.
His marriage cert and Army records say he was born in Dublin 1931 but can I find a birth cert for him.....Ahaaaaaaaaaa

Edit--keeping an eye on your other thread just in case I can pick up any tips.

Patricia,
two people have been to the records office at Dublin and searched for me,
still nothing turned up..........

My Mum was born in Dublin 1916.

She never had a birth certificate only her Baptism certificate as proof of birth.

She applied for her birth certificate in 1947..because she was getting married..nothing found then.

Likewise for 2 of her sisters who were born 1914 & 1921 so we have no idea where they were living in Dublin City back then!

Are you sure he was born in Ireland?

Patricia,

just incase he was born in England/Wales

Hope he turns up for you, I've been looking for my husbands Gran, born Ireland 1915, guess what no sign of her birth. So I know how damned frustrating it is!!!

Teresa,may I ask where you found your mothers Baptism ?

Ok i was told by BDM's that it was not unusual for someone back then to have no birth certificate!

coz it was wartime he didnt need it to get married nor get driving license etc..
