Title: Birth Certificate Info
Post by: Kray on Friday 16 October 09 07:50 BST (UK)
Hi!
My grandfather was baptised at The Assumption Castledermot church in 1879 and I think that I have found a birth registration for him at Athy. What information would be on that? Would it give me more info than the baptism? Why he was born there I do not know, as his older and younger siblings were born in Liverpool. Family tell me that his mother and father were also born in Liverpool, but on the 1891/1901 censuses they list themselves as born in Ireland. I am therefore trying to find any Irish links. The family does not show up on earlier English census. I am wondering if they lived in Ireland for a time (maybe because they had relations there) and then went back to England. My grandfather was Michael Patrick Kenna and his parents were Martin Kenna and Bridget Doyle. Thanks - Kray
