They don't have Irish Births It is only when the child is born in Ireland due to the father being in the Army and stationed in Ireland at that time. |

It is worth checking the GRO at Southport when sending for certificates. I sent for my grandmother's birth in 1876 as she was born in Ireland when her father was in the army. They replied that there was no trace of her after searching around that time. Not knowing where to go from there I rang Southport to ask for advise. When they checked my application they realised they had been searching the 1880's. If I had not rang them I would never have known about the mistake. So it is worth checking if your applications are sent back. |
