I'm visiting dublin now in search of Francesca marah (1860) and went to the church of Ireland library.. found a baptism record of illegitimate twins (appears to be sarah and frances born to catherine fuller and a man with surname mcclure) in 1860. Grandson of Francesca (bill newlands, 94 yrs old) remembers that there many have been a twin and perhaps a slightly older half sister. I'm looking for birth records for francesca (bill wants to apply for irish citizenship through her). Any help greatly appreciated!

Civil registration of births did not begin until 1864.

Their baptism is entry 171 (August 1859) in this register from the RC parish of Templenoe

OK, so after a lot of excitement and a lot of information sent, nothing has happened!!
And one has to wonder why a 94 year old suddenly decides to apply for Irish citizenship?
