I am coming over to Bantry in June and have managed to do a bit of research on the Latter Day Saints site unfortuntely there are some certificates that I cannot buy from the General Records Office (not sure what it is called in Ireland) as they only do BMD's from certain dates. Where is the best possible place that I could look at the parish records for Bantry and get copies?
Thank you for any advice that you can give me.

Hi Shelley Civil Registration in Ireland started in 1864 so any earlier records would be Baptism. If you like to give me names of your interests & approx dates I will take a look for you. Regards Frances

Hi Frances,
Thank you for any help that you can offer.
I'm still doing the research online of what I can to get, dates etc. but it can bring up thousand's in one go!
I am unable to order the below at the moment:
Marriage: Timothy Kelly to Ellen Connor, Bantry, Ireland, Jul-Sep 1918
Death: Patrick Kelly, Age 53, Bantry, Ireland, Jul-Sep 1900
I also want to get check if the below are the correct relatives, my grandfather's siblings, the names are correct but there were a couple with the same names but different years but these seem to fit without clashing:
Birth: Michael Kelly, Oct-Dec 1917, Bantry
Birth: Cornelius Kelly, Apr-Jun 1921, Bantry
Birth: Denis Joseph Kelly, Oct-Dec 1923, Bantry
Birth: Stephanie Kelly, Jan-Mar 1925, Bantry
Birth: Eileen Kelly, Jul-Sep 1928, Bantry
Birth: Fanny Kelly, Oct-Dec 1884, Bantry - unable to find a marriage or death yet for her
Birth: Denis Kelly, Oct-Dec 1897, Bantry - I believe this one died in 1923 but can't find anything on him
I'm also looking for a marriage between Patrick Kelly & Ellen Sullivan, I can't find Ellen but have found two Patricks:
Marriage: Patrick Kelly, Jan-Mar 1882, Cashel, Ireland (I don't think it is this one as the area is not near to where they originally were).
Marriage: Patrick Kelly, 1877, Cork, Ireland
I could go one but I better stop now.
I have bought a couple of certificates but sadly it only mentions the road and not a number i.e. Scart Road, Blackrock Road, Customs Gap, is there a way to find out the number?
I don't expect you too look for all of these for me, but I am really grateful for any help you can offer. I'll be in Bantry for 3 days (over a weekend) and Cork City for two days and am willing to visit parish records if I know where they are held, fingers crossed that these are on parish records.
Thank you again,
Shelley

Hi Shelley you can obtain photocopies of baptism/marriage from www.groireland.ie
Birth Denis Kelly December 1897 Reg District Bantry Vol 5 Page 17
Birth Fanny Kelly December 1884 Vol 5 Page 21
Marriage Timothy Kelly/Ellen Connor Reg Dist Bantry Sept 1918 Vol 5 Page 19
I would suggest you contact the Parish Office of St Finbarrs Church Bantry (1825) more than likely they may have the baptism/marriage records you need.

For baptism records/marriage records for Bantry up to 1881 if you need to delve back further www.irishgenealogy.ie
Good luck with your search. Frances

Hi Shelly,
Have you tried www.irishgenealogy.ie? The original registers from several parishes are freely available online at this website. I have Kelly's from this area, too, so I know that Bantry is included. I'm not sure how late the records go, but it might be worth a glance. Good luck!
