Can anyone tell me how to find birth records in county cork ireland as i am always coming to a dead end. I know there was a fire at the records office some time ago. It is driving me crazy because i want to find out about my grandfathers family in county cork please can someone point me in the right direction.

i am looking for the birth of Albert Ernest Bulley, born in 1886 county cork ireland. other than that i don't know any more about him other than he was in london in army in 1911, then went to canada, married then divorced and came back to england, met my grandmother and had my dad. he apparently did not like to talk about his family, but i would love to find out who his parents, siblings etc were

There are so many of these lately -- a thread about a specific person, and also a thread with a general hypothetical question -- where can I find ...? -- that always has to come down to specifics and ends up duplicating the research in the other thread.

When you answered EGB1916 here, you had the other thread running. In case it comes up again, the thing to do would have been to refer to that thread.

Capital K Kay - you have found the right birth.

From the info found in the other thread about the marriage of Albert's sister in Canada, their mother's surname was Graves. (Father was Walter Bulley.)

Small K kay, do copy that info into your other thread so it's all together.
