Title: ordering birth certificates
Post by: snooza on Sunday 12 October 08 00:12 BST (UK)
Hi I have spent quite a bit of time searching for records for my  grandmother . Have tried all the obvious sites e.g IGI, Ulster Historical foundation, but with no luck. How can I order an official birth certificate with not much info. Does anyone know how much they charge and where do I go to order ????   I know her name  Agnes Barklie born Antrim 1889-1890.  Mothers first names Mary Jane.... I have arecord of her marriage to Fulton Jackson of Main Street Larne and her address is given as Ballynure The date is 26/04/1910. Down the bottom it says Raloo Presbyterian Church.  Maybe the church has baptism records?? What the registry of births, deaths and marriages require/ Has anyone ordered on line through official register? Help please Thank you in advance Jenny Mc
