You can order a photocopy of the certificate from GRO Roscommon for ?4.  http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

You have to download and print off the form. Then either post or fax it back to them. You can?t e-mail it to them. However if you want them to e-mail the cert to back to you, they will do that, so tick the relevant box.

Put the reference details on the form (anywhere). Don?t worry about leaving some boxes blank. As long as GRO have the location, name(s), year, quarter (where there is one), volume and page number they should find it.

You?ll need parish records to find the earlier marriages and baptisms. Assuming the family were Church of Ireland, there?s a copy in PRONI in Belfast. They start in 1767 (with some gaps). A personal visit is generally required to view them.
