To tell the truth rootgetherer I'd forgot I'd already asked.

A) Careless and B) I've been unwell recently.

Not a problem David. Some of us aren't easily upset. We just want to help.

Thank you rootsgatherer and Eringobragh 1916

I "thought" I might have upset / offended some helpers by asking for assistance on

more than one thread. As admitted I'm a slovenly untidy tree keeper. Sorry.

Eringobragh1916, I've had a PM from Sandra and she has the birth entry from the civil registration. The parents are the same as the baby's siblings. Father's occupation is the same. I don't think adoption comes into the circumstances.

Statutory records began later in Ireland David. Your best hope is to find church records for his baptism or marriage. There are some helpers on here with good experience in researching Irish records and if you post the information that you have they may be able to help.

I'm pleased the link helped you get a little more information for your tree :-)

Thank you rootgatherer for posting that link.

Using it I have found the year my paternal GGGF died 1869 but using same
link to finding his birth date, or marriage date beyond me.

Sandra...Very difficult to say without further details but it may be worthwhile checking the Church Baptismal Reg.if the the child was RC.

The time is the 1870s in Ireland. Does anyone know if children born there were ever "adopted" by English couples? I have found an 1872 "birth" registration in Ballymurphy with the parents details given for an English couple who were resident in England at least up to Sept. 1871 and would seem to have no reason to travel to Ballymurphy. Parents' address on the birth reg. only just given as "Ballymurphy.
Thank you
Sandra
