Hi Helen, I have sent an email to Mary Audley, City Clerk in Lynn, I have asked her as a favour to check who Margaret Josephine's mother was and how I can order her birth certificate. Thank you for your very kind help Brendan ---------------------------------------- From: "Helen" <hdipilato@comcast.net> Sent: Sunday, October 20, 2013 3:49 PM To: brendan@researchireland.com Subject: RE: [IRL-KERRY] Mary Beirne Hi Brendan, I'd try the city of Lynn first, it may be quicker. I'm sure you know this but the birth for Mary Josephine is volume 441, page 150. Although that's a state index the city clerk will probably know just where to look. I pay $14.00 for a BMD from the city of Worcester as opposed to $50 from the state. On the other hand the sum of money to be inherited is significant, a $50 fee is nothing compared to the worth of the entire estate! To other non- MA residents on the list looking for BMD's it is always cheaper to go the local root. Some of the smaller towns charge as little as $7.
