33 Percy St., Dublin - 1939 / Adoption

[Bettybee11]

Appreciate this is an older post but could really do with some help, feel sick to my stomach having found my mum's birth cert. She was born at 39 Percy place in 1950 and my grandparents are listed as her parents as is a K. Dalton at that address like others have mentioned. Knowing they were involved with St pat's for another adoption 3 years later with my uncle my suspicions are my mum might be too. I can't find any baptismal records and she is none the wiser she's elderly and I'm confused with all this. What would you advise. Any help greatly received x

@bettybee11 If your grandparents are listed in a 1950 birth, would they be old enough for their births to appear in the Civil Records? You can search for them here

but the births are only listed up to something like 1923, for data protection reasons.
Marriages will also be there.

Currently births up to and including 1922.

Yeah, the century rule.

Think you should contact Tusla
https://www.tusla.ie/services/birth-information-and-tracing-and-adoption/information-and-tracing/seeking-your-personal-and-birth-information/faqs/

They should be at least be able to tell you if it’s likely your mother is a victim of an illegal birth registration and if any information on Percy Place survives.

Thanks all will have a look at Tulsa and speak with Mum. Im awaiting DNA from ancestry to  see what that brings up.
Have the baptismal cert from St. Mary's Haddington road, 2 days after birth, but obviously that could have been altered on request, so would need to see org baptismal cert. Doesn't make sense that mum wasn't brought back to home parish for baptism.

Good morning Betty, I've been researching St. Brendan's, 33 & 39 Percy Place, the Dalton family and de Valera. I will send you a message. Kind regards, Glen

Thanks Glen I'll drop you a message over the weekend. Appreciate your offer of assistance.
