You really need to buy Thomas's b.cert to make any progress. You can apply via:
http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

A legal certified copy of the GRO(I) register costs €20.
An (uncertified) image of the GRO(I) register costs €4.

If you pay by credit card, then the card company will take care of the currency exchange and bill you in your usual currency.

NB It's no longer called GRO(I), but I forget what it's called now.

As his mother appears to be unmarried when his birth was listed it's difficult to tell if there are any full siblings. (ordering his birth certificate may provide a little more info on his mother). Do you know who his mother later married?
