Can anyone help find a birth record?


Civil registration of births, Catholic marriages & deaths started in Ireland in 1864 (from 1845 for Protestant & Registrar’s Office marriages). So, before those dates, church records (if they exist) will need to be found.

Since they were Catholic there are lots of parish registers here (free)- https://registers.nli.ie/ Coverage varies but will give you a place to search for his baptism record.


Researching: Cuthbertson – Co. Derry, Scotland & Australia; Hunter – Co. Derry; Jackson – Co. Derry, Scotland & Canada; Scott – Co. Derry; Neilly – Co. Antrim & USA; McCurdy – Co. Antrim; Nixon – Co. Cavan, Co. Donegal, Canada & USA; Ryan & Noble – Co. Sligo
