Ireland / Re: Illegitimacy and Irish birth certificates
« on: Monday 05 May 14 15:07 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for all of your help everyone. Greatly appreciated.

It just seemed very strange to me. He was born in May 1877 and his parents appear to have been married in January 1878. His mother’s name is also listed on his birth certificate and it was a civil marriage, not a religious one, even though the family were all brought up as Roman Catholic.

I guess if we can find a copy of his baptism record that might shed some light on this.

Ireland / Illegitimacy and Irish birth certificates
« on: Sunday 04 May 14 19:38 BST (UK)  »
I was wondering if anyone could please help me with a question?

My ancestor was born in Ireland in 1877 and we have a certified copy of his birth certificate. We now think that his parents married several months after he was born, but there is no mention of him being illegitimate on his birth certificate and both his parents names are listed on it??

Would Irish birth certificates at that time not contain any detail on whether a child was illegitimate, and would they contain both parents names, regardless of whether or not they were married?
