I am not researching this family but hope this may help. As civil registration started around 1864 in Ireland you should be able to get birth certificates etc. This is the website to check http://www.groireland.ie/about_us.htm Did you check the national archives in England for army records? That where we found a WW1 record for a grandfather who we didn't know had been in the army. Regards Brenda Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
