Long form of a birth certificate

Dear Jeannie:

Welcome to the Ireland Reaching Out website and Happy New Year!

You can obtain birth certificates through the General Register Office in Ireland.  The following details apply:

https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/General-Register-Office.aspx

The form to apply online giving details is below:

You will note that birth certificates are €20.00 with €2.00 postage for the U.S. 

The best of luck to you.  If you need further assistance, please let us know. 

Kind regards,

Jane Halloran Ryan.

Dear Jeannie

Further to Jane's reply, you can obtain a copy of the birth entry in the register for free and save yourself €22.00. This is his most likely birth entry for William born in 1883 in Ladysbridge. It is no different from what you will get by ordering a certificate. Here is the link to the birth entry.

Please note this is a corrected entry. His first name originally entered as Michael but if you look to the far right his name was then corrected to William on the 25 April 1884

Cheers

Hi Debra and Jeannie:

Debra has made a good point about obtaining and dowloading the record off the website.  However, you will need the long form original birth certificate for any application for an Irish passport which I believe that you were interested in getting at some stage. 

The Irish Genealogy website is a great site to look through--just be aware that not all records are online (all the indexes are) and that there have been some errors in location.  For example, a number of East Clare marriages in the 1890s are located in the Galway Registration District instead of the Tulla/Scariff Registration District.

The very best of luck to you with your research.  If you need any further assistance, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Jane.
