Hello List Advice please, if I order a film of the birth indexes for Ireland, it gives the year, name of child and Surname, but not the maiden name of the Mother,, So how do I confirm which birth I am looking for, as the surname is Moore, equivalent to the name Smith, not saying it is common, just popular. If I visit Belfast, is there a record book that I may look at myself, so that I can verify which births are the children of my Great-Grandparents before I order a certificate. I believe there were at least eight, trying to verify does not seem that easy. Have yet to find this family in the 1901 census Alexander Moore son of Patrick Moore and Elizabeth McCaughan daughter of William John McCaughan married 10th November 1875 St Anne's Belfast. Children Annie Moore born circa 1878/79 my Grandmother, cannot find this lady, so many Annies' Alan born 30 December 1879. a huge gap between these dates, there must have been more? Fred born 2 February 1887 Margaret born 8.January 1889 Alexander born 6 June 1891 Sarah Daisy 5 March 1893 Minnie Moore 3 March 1895 Howard ???????? Any thoughts, is anyone familiar with these names?
