Could that custom apply in this case? My GM, Elizabeth L'Estrange was born 28 feb 1867. Last spring I went to the St. Nicholas of Myrna church on Francis St. to seek her baptismal record as she was born #5, Upper Kevin street. They had no record of that and they were very gracious in trying to find one. What other church might have a record? Would the 'maternity hospital' be the Rotunda and if so, what RC parish church would that be? Anthony, you are so helpful with historical details that give clues to options not widely considered.

This is a guess. I am in USA, born Dublin. You might try ProCathedral, maybe called St. Mary's. Yes, the Rotunda is the oldest maternity hospital in Europe and did a great business in births. I suppose there are many RC parishes near there even Protestant like Trinity Church. Kevin Street is near Stephens Green and Harcourt Street in the middle of the city, so its hard to say what parish is near. My sis was born Rotunda but we lived in Fairview/Marino area. Try National Library and Births marriage and death index in Dublin. Sorry I am no help. Maybe Anthony or someone living near there could help.

I have seen some Rotunda birth records on an LDS film ? Cheers from Valerie in sunny Sydney. Sorry for the delay of my reply but I have had over 3 weeks in hospital so I am only now getting to answer hundreds of messages. This is a standard message for everyone.
