Hi Cathy Thank you for the information below. Applying this to find a death certificate, I see the same information is also available i.e. actual certificates to 1870. With a bit of research I have found my GEORGE PHAIR dying in 1869, however there seems to be 20 films for this particular year. Is there a way to identify approximately which film he would be on. The church record via Roots Ireland states he died 27 April, however other information is very thin indeed. Are all certificates for Ireland just in date order or perhaps County or Townland order. Irish research is a steep learning curve at the moment but I am happy to learn.
