I am trying to obtain information on my G Grandfather's parents. I have found my G Grandfather Peter Muldoon's Birth information off of Family Search:
Peter Muldoon
Birth: 05 May 1865 0443, Dunleer, Louth, Ireland
Parents: Father, Patrick Muldoon
Mother, Anne Cluskey
Another Child:
Anne Muldoon
Birth: 08 Jun 1869, Louth, Ireland
Parents: Father, Patrick Muldoon
Mother, Anne Cluskey
Also, my Mother has mentioned Ardee as well. I believe they were Roman Catholic. My mother also remembers her Grandfather, Peter Mulddon saying that he had a brother named Patrick, but I cannot find any info on any other siblings other than Peter and Anne.
My G Grandfather Peter Muldoon died in Liverpool, England in 1943.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Shiloh

The extracted records on FamilySearch are not 100% complete, so there could be other births not listed. Most of the details are from civil records - so details of births before 1864 would not be included.
You would have to check records for earlier details - Dunleer and Ardee are separate but neighbouring parishes. Dunleer baptisms go back to 1847, those for Ardee go back to the 1760s with a few gaps. Records are available on the National Library on microfilms Pos. 5602 (Dunleer) and Pos. 5601 (Ardee). Copies are also available in PRONI.
The pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation at www.rootsireland.ie has transcripts of some Co. Louth RC parishes.

Peter Muldoon
Birth: 05 May 1865 0443, Dunleer, Louth, Ireland
Parents: Father, Patrick Muldoon
Mother, Anne Cluskey
....
in case you wish to order a civil birth cert then these are the details you need (note the page number is the same as on the extracted record you found) :
Name: Peter Muldoon
Registration district: Ardee
Event type: Birth
Year: 1865
Volume: 7 / Page: 443
Ardee is the Superintendent Registrar's District (often called a registration district) which covers the town, and sub-district of Dunleer.
A research cert could give you a few more details such as the informant of the birth, occupation of the father, and possibly a more detailed address.

Shane,
Thank You for the info and assisting with my search.

If you check the free advanced search on RootsIreland there are 6 possible Muldoon/Cluskey baptisms between 1840-1880 that might be worth checking. 5 of these are in Dunleer RC parish.
Experimenting further with the advanced search shows a possible marriage for Patrick and Anne in Dunleer RC parish in 1856.
