The Common Room / Re: GRO British Forces births overseas - ordering a cert?

How can the event be identified?
I know the GRO Index Reference
I want GRO to search for the registration and will provide details to identify it
(see If I don't have the index reference what will happen?)

Always the father's nationality, I think.

Yes, that would make sense.

And “ nationality at birth” - whose would he take, his father, a British National, or his mother, a Philippines National?

Select "Place an order" (menu on right-hand side)
Select "event registered outside UK"
Select Birth
Enter year of registration
Enter the GRO Reference
Complete the form.

Just no idea what the reference is, even have looked at the image. Stumped.

The Common Room / GRO British Forces births overseas - ordering a cert?

What reference do you use to order a certificate, for a birth in the British Armed Forces Overseas Births and Baptisms index.

My daughter is getting married next year and her fiancé was born in the Philippines. He holds a British passport, which shows his place of birth as Philippines.

I’ve found the entry in FindMyPast which helpfully lets me see an image, which gives a type (C/HC), page and a DOB (month).

He’s hoping his mother has a copy but if not and he needs to order one, what reference is he supposed to give the GRO?

Thanks
Lisa

Unless Bridget was Mary. Which is possible....

She could be - sister Rose was known to everyone as Paddy

Just to confuse matters - mother Mary occasionally used Ohara as her maiden name for birth registrations.

She was born Gray, illegitimate, her mother married a Michael Ohara.

There was definitely a Brigid - I met her - Auntie Biddie!

I’ve periodically been working on my husbands tree. He’s of Irish ancestry.

Great grandfather was Michael Maher, who married Mary Gray (she occasionally uses the maiden name O’Hara in her children’s birth registrations. I’ve had several posts on Rootschat about their family. Here are a couple of them.

Since that first original post, I’ve confirmed the following children for Michael and Mary.


Mary (Molly) b1909 Mullingar, died 1980
Rose b1911 Mullingar, died 1989
John Joseph b1914 Mullingar, died 1915
Teresa b1916 Mullingar, died 1962
Michael (Mick) b1918, died 1999
Catherine/Kathleen, b1920 died 2008
Bridget b1923  died 2003
Christopher b1926, died 2004
Annie b1930, died 2022

All apart from John Joseph died in England.

A couple of days ago, on irishgenealogy.ie I found another child - Mary, born 1922 in the County Hospital, Mullingar. 

My husband grew up knowing his great gran and reckons she had about 10 children, and “one or two” died young.

I cannot find a death for a young Mary, or if she didn’t die as a child, any marriage I’m happy that is her,

Can anyone find her? I’m about to go to work, but will pop in, so to speak, periodically.
