>From what I can gather there are no indexes before 1886. Steven Smyrl -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jean R. Sent: 01 October 2007 21:41 To: [email protected] Subject: [IRELAND] "Marine Register" - Birth/Death Irish Subjects at Sea MARITIME RECORDS: From 1864 up to the present, the General Register Office has kept a separate 'Marine Register' of births and deaths of Irish subjects which took place at sea. From 1886 only, a printed index to this register is bound into the back of the births and death index for each year. For earlier registers, the indexes have to be requested from the staff in the Office. No separate register was kept for marriages at sea. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
