First off in the www.eircomphonebook.ie there are now 7 in Kildare. My first suggestion while you wait an answer is to send off letters to all of them. No postal codes required. You are talking 1921 so there maybe people who remember the family. Don't forget a mailing as well as email address.Put all the information you know. Make sure that your e-mail address on the message board is always kept up to date, for example if someone doesn't contact you for a year and in the meantime you have change your email, neither they nor rootsweb can send you a message. www.censusfinder.com United Kingdom Ireland County www.ipg-web.com County www.familysearch.org - try the main page but not sure if they will have such late dated information but the new PILOT put on line in 02/09. The records go back to the late 1700's and into the 1950's. Includes some passenger records through an Ellis Is. link. eg: Mary Ellen Garland registration of birth Jan-Mar 1889 Nass Registration District, Kildare. I haven't looked for anything else to give you for examples as I'm not sure whether I would be searching Garland or Clements. Was Clements her married name, is your father a Clement or a Garland. I did confirm the birth year of Mary Ellen as 1888 on a searchable bmd website, you will need to contact me for more information,codeannette@yahoo.ca, also you didn't give the sibling 2nd.of 8.However, this website does not go beyond 1899 as most don't. Any records after 1864 were civil registration and a copy of certificate can be found at the General Registry Office, in Dublin. GRO they provide a bit of a search around a year, I think 5 years for a very reasonable fee considering what others charge for services. Hopefully this will be of some assistance to you.
