Margaret Mary Garvey Born 1923

Meg:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Kilkee is in the Kilrush registration district and about a month ago the Irish government released the images of civil records back to 1864 for births and 1882 for marriages and 1891 for deaths. The site is www.irishgenealogy.ie and access is free.

I went in and looked for all Garvey births registered in the Kilrush district from 1910-1930.The only Margaret was in 1914 and her mother's maiden name was Crotty.There was only one John and his birth was in 1911 and his mother's maiden name was Russell. There was one Mary and she was alos born in 1914 and her mother's maiden name was McDonnell.

I also looked at the 1911 census and the only Garvey family was this one in a townland called Dough. Maybe the Michael in the family married and had children?

Do you have any other clues?

There are two Margaret Garvey births around the right time showing in Kilrush district on the FamilySearch BMD Index, which covers after the 1916 cut-off on the GRO/IrishGenealogy website - both in 1923 - see here. One of which seems to have died the following year. Images of these later records are not available online but you can order research certs costing €4 from the GRO - see option 1 on the Civil records homepage. You need the name, year/quarter, registration district, volume & page shown on the index records when filling in the form.

Most Australian states include parents names on marriage and/or death cert  which could to help confirm, or rule out, possible matches.

 

 

Shane:

Can you further explain the 1916 cutoff? Are you saying that there are no birth records after 1916? Thanks!

Roger

Shane:

Never mind. I went to the web site and can see that they only have until 1915 for births because of the 100 year rule. Thanks!

Meg:

Go up to the response from Shane. His first link provides the two 1923 birth index records for Margaret Garvey births. One of them is likely your mother. Copy down the year quarter and volume and page numbers. Both are in the Kilrush registration district. Then go to Shane's 2nd link, print out the form, fill it out to the best of your ability and include:

You need the name, year/quarter, registration district, volume & page shown on the index records when filling in the form.

You will have to mail the request to Ireland but GRO can e-mail back the copies. The cost is four euros per copy.
