	Hi Evelyn, found this on Rootschat, hope it helps a little, i've never ordered an Irish cert myself. The form from the GRO is not really designed for order using the index details - just fill in the the following details on the form wherever you can fit them (or attach on a separate note) Name record type (e.g marriage) registration district year/quarter (older records dont require a quarter) volume number and page dont worry about the PPS number - it's is the tax/social security reference number - not required for research certs.
