Title: 1924Ulster birth records
Post by: Rootanalysis on Monday 03 September 18 09:37 BST (UK)
Hi there

Sorry if I’m posting in the wrong place.
I am looking for a Belfast birth record from 1924/25. Will I be able to get this anywhere? I know GRONI is 100 years after the birth for records.

Many thanks

There are some records on family search saying born Belfast, linked to later records like baptisms & death. Might be worth a look.

I'm afraid I don't understand reply #1 but the online records (Irish Genealogy and GRONI's database only cover births over 100 years ago).

See here to order a birth certificate from GRONI-

I think the point is that it might be possible to find another record (such as a baptism record or a newspaper notice).  If you post the name we could hunt around.

All the best

You are quite correct Philip, if you simply put in Belfast 1924 some 62 names appear you never know it might be worthwhile as a long shot. However if they remained in Ulster its no use.

its Belfast central library irish reference dept or linenhall library both have nearly complete runs of Belfast street directories. usuall if the ownerof a house  listed dies householder they sometimes have some obituaries otherwise the person dissappears

another way might be find the burial eg in your interests you have the Shufflebottoms you have two main older cemeteries Millfield for catholics and the city cemetery for protestants
Forename   Surname   Age   Date of death   Date of burial   Cemetery    Details    Record image
Wm   Shufflebottom   47   13 July 1967   15 July 1967   City Cemetery - Glenalina Extension   View details   
. the detail shows this gentleman was b about 1920.

hello Aghadowey, i had looked at the listed interest of op and indeed up the past posts to get a clue closer to a general answer, and just hoped i was contributing something extra for op. Philip had a useful point to make.
