Searching for Grandfather

Hi,

Thanks for your message.

Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so if William was born 64/65 you may also be able to find a birth record for him in civil records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office. Here is the web address: http://www.groireland.ie/

You can search the indexes to these records up to 1958 online at:
