Debbie, The ancestry Irish births page suggests that as well as the Familysearch records, it also contains those from Belfast: http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2573&enc=1 But does that include all of Northern Ireland? I am not sure. But someone who would certainly know the answer is @chrismpaton on twitter! There are certainly quite a few Patons in Belfast on the above database. Hope this helps.

Rosemary Many thanks. I'd rather assumed that Ancestry would have the same database as FamilySearch. Their notes don't make it very clear whether or not BMDs for Norther Ireland are actually included. If they are, it would be good to have some way of separating out the Northern Ireland births as I've already collected all the entries I wanted for the Republic of Ireland. I'll try asking Chris Paton on Twitter tomorrow.

Hi Debbie and Rosemary The Northern Ireland BMDs post 1922 were definitely not on Family Search at first, when Ireland pre-1922 was included - we had a long discussion with Sharon Hintze of the London FHC about this when they first appeared on FS. However, if you now do a search for Murray births in Belfast 1925-35 you do get results, so it appears to have changed. The FS source information contradicts this as it says NI is excluded: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Ireland,_Civil_Registration_Indexes_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records) You also get positive results on Ancestry for the same search. Ancestry appears not to have deaths or marriages though. if it's any use to you, the London FHC has the Northern Ireland BMD indexes on film up to 1959. Anything after that you have to have searched locally. Everything that Grenham's book lists as being filmed by the LDS is available in London, including some of the certificates.
