I send an email to GRO asking about online ordering policies. I received the following reply. I think I still have a question. The below response says that deaths are from 1924-present. So where do I send for a death cert from 1897? Thanks, Ally -------Original Message------- From: MBX-General Register Office Date: 5/30/2013 6:37:53 AM To: Allison White Subject: RE: Ordering Records Online Dear Ms White, Please see attached our procedures and application forms. We accept application forms by fax if you have a credit card or alternatively by post. The cost of a full certificate is €20 or a photocopy is €4. (Both show the same information). The on-line facility available on our website is a link to the website of the Dublin Civil Registration Office and the only certificates that can be obtained online from that Office are the following : Births Births occurring in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland from January 1864- December 1921 From 1922 – present, births occurring in the Republic of Ireland only Adoptions If the adoption was domestic and has been registered the Register is held by the Office of the General Register in Roscommon and if the adoption has been registered with the Office of the General Register it can be purchased on this site. Please note that Inter-Country Adoption records are held by the Adoption board and are not available for purchase on this site. Stillbirths If a stillbirth has been registered in the Register of Stillbirths which is held by the Office of the General Register in Roscommon it can be purchased on this site. Marriages Marriages occurring in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland from January 1913- December 1921 From 1922 - present, marriages occurring in the Republic of Ireland only. Deaths Deaths occurring in the Republic of Ireland from 1924 - present www.certificates.ie Hope this is of help to you. Yours Sincerely, Marie Murray. General Register Office. Government Buildings.
