Cheri, I am a little perplexed as the birth certificate usually gives the mother's maiden name. ie.Mother ..... nee so and so. If you have not got Richard's birth certificate I would not think it would be a major problem as you know the place of birth and TOOMATH is not that common a name in Fermanagh. I would ask the General Registrar's Office for a search in the first instance. Maureen
