Trying to trace my deceased Grandparents birth certificates.
I am looking for my Irish Grandparents birth certificates. They were both Catholic. I have established that there are no recorded civic records for them. I am Scottish and my mother was born in Scotland, but I know my grandparents were Irish. They moved to Scotland somewhere around 1900, and had their family there. They both died before I was born.
I have both death certificates for my Grandmother and my Grandfather, and I have seen the gravestone in Port Glasgow Scotland.
Because I have the death certificates I have the names of the father and mother on both sides.
My Grandfather was born in 1873 ( day and month not known)
My Grandmother was born in 1884 ( day and month not known)
They are recorded in the Scottish census of 1921 as being from Ballynakill, Galway, but I have no idea which part or the parish. Anyone give me a steer of where to look next? Are there central birth records or are they all held per parish?
I really appreciate any help.
