If i know the Vol/Page number i put it on the form under or next to the date. Never had a problem ordering BMDs from Roscommon. Ive just sent them a marriage request where i don't know the vol/page but i do know the date of marriage and registration district from the church records.

I usually leave the PPS blank. The civil status is widowed, married, or single if you know it. If not leave it blank. The key is providing the Month/Date, Volume #, Page #, and registration district.

Tigerella - I have been faxing (using pamfax) from USA to GRO in Roscommon on several occasions. The faxes cost me .13 cents and i usually get an email back from the GRO in a few days with the cert attached. The key is to know the date (of BM or D) region, volume, and page number for them to do a successful match. I recently sent them a one page fax with several death records (same name different Vol/Pages) listed on the form and they responded, again, within a few days. Hope this helps.

Thank you. Herd [Shepherd] is what I was tending towards.

This is from County Sligo in the Tobercurry/Coolaney area. Previous records show his profession as Servant and Labourer.....which I'm thinking he was a farm labourer so Hind might be the right profession.
As an addendum for the other entries on this page the transcriber uses the term Labourer and Farm Labourer for other entries.

Here is another screen shot showing the handwriting to the left. The first two letters of the profession look like He. So is Herd a profession?

Need help with the second entry of profession. Clearly the first one is shoemaker but i can't quite make out the second one.....looks like Hurd? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Peter

Ok. Thank you again.. I am still in the learning state for Ireland research and appreciate your guidance.
For the first one you were spot on as that is all the info i got from the extract. I was thinking there might be more......
For the second one I will have to wait until i visit the church and keep my fingers crossed. I am assuming my ancestors who stayed in Ireland never left Achrony ..... seeing some surnames in the 1901/1911 census in the same exact location. Just need to work on the connections.

Thank you Elwyn. Appreciate the quick reply. Here are the two older certs i am researching...Peter

GG Grandparents (i found this extract on www.rootsireland.ie and wanted the actual certificate to verify)
Name:  Patrick Mitchell
Spouse:  Mary Farrell
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Event Type: Marriage
Event Date: 23 –September -1854
Event Place: Tuam, County Galway
Registration District: Tuam
Their daughters marriage certificate says Tuam No. 1 so i am assuming both marriages occurred at The Cathedral of the Assumption in Tuam.

GGG Grandparents
Name:  Philip Wynne
Spouse:  Mary Conlon
Event Type: Marriage
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Event Date: 1828 (per daughter Catherine’s pension application in 1917)
Event Place: Mullinabreena (I think), Reg Dist: Coolaney, Union: Tobercurry, County Sligo
Registration District: Coolaney
For this one I have a GRO Marriage Cert for Philips son, John, at the Mullinabreena Chapel (now called Sacred Heart) so assumption for Philip's marriage here as well.

First post for me so Howdy to all. I just posted to Roscommon for 5 certs but obviously forgot to read the finer print. I found the references for 2 certs (1895 and 1880) and included those (thanks to the advice from others). 1 cert i could not find the references for but had the date of marriage in 1872. The other 2 marriages were for 1828 and 1854. Assume they will trash those last 2 requests since prior to 1864.

So if i get three certs emailed back i will be happy.
