It is correct that Irish death certificates do not contain a lot of information but they do have more than what is on the index. I have some from the 1860s onwards and they have: Date and place of death, age and marital status of deceased, occupation, cause of death, name and sometimes address of informant, and whether they were present at the death. Two have relationship of informant to deceased but this is rare I think. A copy of the certificate can be ordered from the GRO in Ireland - prices and procedure are posted on their website: http://www.groireland.ie/ A lister mentioned recently that the numbers used by the LDS project refer to their own record system rather than the volume and page numbers of the actual indexes. I do not know if that is correct, however the Irish BMD indexes are available on microfilm from LDS Family History Centres etc and the actual index numbers can be obtained from those and a certificate ordered. Having the information from the LDS site would be invaluable in searching the microfilms. There may be other ways but this is what I have used (as well as personal visits to the GRO). Hope this is useful. Patsy - New Zealand Subject: Re: [IRL-GALWAY] Galway records > What the LDS have filmed is the actual death register, and that's all that > exists.
