Rambling Rose.. his DOB is circa. The James Patrick aged 9 could be him. But I have no idea how to prove it. Do you have any idea how I can find my mother's birth certificate. She was born in Ireland and her DOB is correct.
And yes they were Catholic :-)

How certain are you of his date of birth?

You can view the Irish census 1901 and 1911 at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

I wonder about this one?

My grandfather was James Burns. I have been told his middle name was Patrick. I do not know where he was born, but later lived in Dromore County Down and Belfast. He died in 1972. He was married twice. My mother Mary Bridget Burns born 3/2/27 was the last child of the first family. She had at two maybe more brothers. Kevin was one of them, he moved to Scotland. James (Jim) another who moved to southern England. The second family include Agnes & Ann(e) twins, Gerald, Phillip and Colum(sp). I can not find out any information about him or his ancestors. I was told he played international football for one season. I never knew my grandmother's name either. My mother was born in Northern Ireland, so I was told, but I can't find a birth certificate/or don't know how to find one for N.Ireland. I was told my grandmother either died in childbirth with my mother or a few years later. Anyone who is good with research in Ireland,I would love you to help me.
