Hi all.

Images of Civil records of Births 1864-1915, Marriages 1882-1940, Deaths 1891-1965 are available free of charge from the Irish Government website:

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

Copies of these entries are available now with Marriages back to 1845 and Deaths back to 1864 to be added at a later date.

Lots of our Burke certs to see and download, mostly in the “Gorey Registration District”.

Here is a link to a post re Patrick Burke (father of Thomas Burke “Tom the Jock”) who registered 3 deaths the same day in 1918, including his wife Margaret Burke nee Swords.

Good hunting
Mogue.

On the 3rd of December 1918 Patrick Burke of Mounthoward, Monamolin, Gorey, Co. Wexford registered 3 deaths.

On the 7th of November his wife Margaret Burke (nee Swords of Mounthoward) died age 80.

On the 10th of November his grandson Patrick Burke died age 18, the son of Michael and Catherine Burke of Mounthoward (nee Sunderland of Ballinagam, Ballygarrett).

On the 29th of November his son in law Bryan Redmond age 30 of Ballinagam, Ballygarrett died. He had married Patrick’s daughter Maggie.

Patrick, his wife and his son Michael’s family lived in the one house. It was a sad month for him and his family.

Influenza was a big killer at the time.
