grandparents birth certificates
In the last month or so I applied through the GRO for my grandparents birth certificates from the years 1892 and 1894. First I received an email from the records office in Dublin informing me that they do not handle those records and to contact the Roscommon office. I refile and re apply and send in the new application and fees. About two weeks I heard fromthr Roscommon office telling me that my grandmothers birth certificate could not be done due to the separation in 1921, all well and good but on the forms I indicated that my Grandmother was born in Kilkeel County Down on 4, April 1894 when Ireland was one. I never heard about my Grandfather who was born in Sligo in 1894. I don't know if they could not read the typed application or just didn't want to be bothered on completing the work. I am looking to obtain Irish Citizenship through my mother's parents. I do have a copy of Catherine Hugh's birth certificate that he brother that remained in Ireland was able to obtain it in the Republic in 1945. What gives and how can I correct this. By the way, my grandmother Catherine Hughes is easily found in the Irish census for 1901 and 1911, so is my grandfather who is listed as Willie Keane in the census from 1911. They both emigrated years before 1916 and the Irish War for Independence. Can Someone attempt to help me out.
Thanks
