Hi Suzanne, I do not know of one on the internet but your nearest LDS centre will have them on either fiche or film. Mary |

Thank you for your reply Mary, but won't the LDS centre only have records which are already on the LDS web-site? |

The simple answer, as in similar to 1837 is No; there isn't one. Many people wish there was. There are some records that have been entered on different sites by volunteers, but they are purely that - volunteer transcriptions. Those people have worked hard to put them there and credit must go to them. Your best option is to contact a FHC of the Latter Day Saints, they have films of the BMD indexes for Ireland and may be able to help. Registration on a par with England and Wales did not start in Ireland until 1864. Hope this helps. Paul |

The LDS web site does not have births, deaths and marriages, only the IGI which is far from complete. They have very few Catholic records on there. Mary |

One of the reasons they have few Catholic Records is/was the reticence of Parish Priests to open records to view, either through personal preference or by instruction from higher authority. It is changing, but unfortunately only relatively slowly. Paul |

Thank you all for your help and advice. I think I will try my local LDS Centre as a first step. Thanks again |
