Proving Irish Ancestry - Birth Record Not Found, Lost or Destroyed?
[deleted]
[deleted]
My Mum was estranged from her mother and has limited details for her. I've managed to track down her birth, marriage and divorce records but her death certificate seems to be missing. I have a newspaper article from the day after her body was discovered in County Donegal in 1982 but the records office can't find her death certificate for either her married or maiden names. She was living in Scotland at the time but seems to have been buried in Ireland (I have a picture of her grave from https://www.findagrave.com)
Any ideas where to go next?
Can someone help transcribe the baptismal record for the 10th February 1843. Found, at 02427/07, Croom - Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI page 56
I am having trouble making out a few of the words:
10 Bapt.^(ized) Rev.^(nd) L Gleison. _____ Patrius Reeves et Maria Lynch. Spo.^(ns) Rev.^(nd) Jno Reeves et Johanna Butler. Ballygrennan
