Hi
I am trying to find a number of births to a husband and wife in Ireland, I have their names. Births circ 1920-1935. I know of 3 of the names but no more. I have exhausted ancestory and wondered if anyone knows of any other sites to search that may help. Thank you

Familysearch has some Irish births for the period 1920 – 1930 but not all. In general, they are not on-line because they are less than 100 years old. (Similarly, marriages less than 75 years and deaths 50 years old are not on-line either). The records are open to the public, just not on-line.
Important to know which jurisdiction your ancestors lived in. From 1.1.1922 onwards the records for Northern Ireland are held by GRONI in Belfast, and those for what is now the Republic of Ireland are held by GRO Roscommon. You can contact both and ask for searches. (There are likely to be fees for that).

Hi Elwyn
Thank you for your reply. I know one was born in County Westmeathin Southern Ireland and family moved to Balleyfermot so I would need to concentrate on GRONI is that correct? Thank you.

No. Co. Westmeath and Ballyfermot (Co. Dublin) are both in the Republic of Ireland. So you need the GRO in Roscommon which holds their records:

Thank you Elwyn. My search continues :)

There are births up to 1920 here (you mention 1920 as the earliest birth)

I think these indexes can be found elsewhere but might be helpful
