Could this be him possibly? Family search doesn't pull any returns for McGinn but it may be a possible transcription error.

www.rootsirealnd.ie shows 3 results for an Edward Mcginn born in 1910 in Tyrone but none matching with a father named Richard.

IrelandXO member

I can find no matches to any of the names you have provided. This is a real mystery...

They should exist as registerations started in 1864 for BMDs

miclarkelly

hi there there u found a record of edward alphonsus mcginn.  i think that the right one. as my uncle did tell me his middle name

IrelandXO member

The parents of the Edward Alphonsus McGinn are Charles M. McGinn and Sarah Doherty and they married in April - June 1899. Charles' father was James. I believe his mother was Mary McCullough but I am uncertain it is a match.

Where did you recieve the information on your great grands parents and great great grandparents' names? Is it possible what you were told is incorrect?

miclarkelly

my dad wrote on one of my brothers baby book. he must.put the wrong names down.. did charles  have anymore kids. i think there stone mason 

IrelandXO member

IrelandXO member

Excellect. Your're Welcome Sean.

Yes, Charles was a brick layer according to the 1911 census. Let me know if I can help you in any other way.

I can tell you how and where to get records if you like.

 

Cheers,

yes please how could i get the records

Notice You only need an uncertified copy which will contain all the same information you are looking for. Unless you are going to apply for dual citizenship, for which you likely do not need apply, as you already are a citizen of the United Kingdom. There is a possibility with this information you may be able to apply for dual citizenship for the Republic of Ireland but I am not sure of this. What I do know is, if you have a parent or grandparent born in Ireland you can apply for dual citizenship. I do not know if this includes the entire Island as Northern Ireland is considered part of the UK and Repulic is not. This is a question I would like to have the answer to because my grandfather was born in Beragh.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any other help.
