Jervis Posted 11 October , 2022 Share Posted 11 October , 2022 Hi Dave, Unfortunately, the available online birth records (civil) for Ireland commences from 1864 only. Occasionally you can be lucky with church records which can go back further, but depends on the parish records. Jervis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbohl Posted 11 October , 2022 Author Share Posted 11 October , 2022 Thanks Jervis, I thought that might be the case. There's a huge gap in the census records as well. Seeing as there are a few records stating b.Londonderry I will assume it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missing (Irish) census records are somewhere the photo! The public records office including the census records from 1821 - 1891 inclusive were destroyed in the Irish Civil war.
