I am researching the Eagers family from Dublin on behalf of a friend. My friend was born in Leicester England but her parents came over to England from Ireland betweem 1939-1943.
She remembers visiting her cousins in Ireland but cannot remember their names.
Now is the Irish electical rolls on line for the 1950s? Just wandering if she would remember their names if she saw them.
Any othe surgestions

As far as I know only up to 1939-40 is online but I could be wrong.

Did you mean she couldn't remember their first names or surnames?
EAGER would obviously have been her Dad's name
Were the cousins on her Mum's side? then you would need the maiden name
This is a LINK (https://familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=20&query=%2Bsurname%3Aeager~%20%2Brecord_country%3AIreland%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1935-1960~) to familysearch.org for the births in Ireland from 1935 to 1960 with the surname EAGER
This is a LINK (https://familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=20&query=%2Brecord_country%3AIreland%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1935-1960~%20%2Bmother_surname%3Aeager~) to familysearch.org for the births in Ireland from 1935 to 1960 with the Mother's maiden name as EAGER
These could be cousins on her Dad's side
These names may ring bells - and you can search on the same principle with her Mum's maiden name if relevant

Thanks for your advice and I will forward it on to her.
