Title: St Marys Athlone
Post by: dc241170 on Wednesday 09 March 22 14:36 GMT (UK)

Hi , I am trying to find a parish register or birth certificate for my grandmother who was born in Athlone in 1922. Can anyone help ?

1911 is probably too recent for the parish register to be online and births less than 100 years old aren't shown on Irish Genealogy website (but hopefully will be added in the not too distant future).

Hi,


I just used SMITH to see if the search would work.


Im not sure if this will help, but you might find out some more details here,

https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=100&q.birthLikeDate.from=1922&q.birthLikeDate.to=1922&q.birthLikePlace=athlone&q.birthLikePlace.exact=on&q.surname=smith&f.collectionId=1408347


"All Ireland Civil Registration Births Index, 1864-1958" is available at Ancestry but it only gives information like this,

Isabella SMITH
Date of Registration:    1922 Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration district:  Athlone
Birth Country:    Ireland
Volume:    3
Page:    2
FHL Film Number:    101229


I can't see the image, I don't know if it's broken or if it's me, maybe someone else can take a look.


Regards,
Daisy

1922 is too recent for the birth to be online- the above Family Search item is an index not the actual record.
