hi can anyone help me i'm trying to find the birth of my late mother in law june grogan, could be june margaret, fathers name james grogan, june was born 4 march 1918, she had brothers patrick and jack, and sister miora or maura, known as molly i think they were all older than june. june came to live in england and married here in 1940, but the rest of the family stayed in ireland i think in drimnah dublin. the two brothers patrick and jack emigrated to new zealand. any help or info on this family will be much appreciated. thanks jean

hi aghadowey thanks for the quick reply i have already applied to roscommon and they cant find any record, i dont know where to look next. june grogan born 1918 died in 1964 aged 46 and left quite a young family, so all we know is she was born in dublin drimnah i think, and from her english marriage certificate her father was called james grogan, but he was deceased in 1940 at the time of junes wedding. i dont know where to go from here. thanks for your reply. jean

Perhaps the family lived in Dublin but she happened to be born elsewhere. Or registered as female rather than with a Christian name?

hi if she was just registered as female would i still be able to get her birth certificate as i know her date of birth and fathers name. i know she was born in drimnah dublin. thanks for taking the time for me. jean

Hello Jean,
If you have not allready got Jame's death cert which would show his age at death, I would get it.
From his age you could caculate his age in the 1911 Dublin census and from that you should get some usefull information regarding older siblins ect.

Best of luck

Hi again,
You might like to e-mail the parish office with the birth date of  June to see if she was baptised in that parish. The link is below.

to gormangenealogy i have already been in touch with mourneroad parish church and they said they have only been there since 1946 so dont have records for as early as i want. also i dont know when james died so i cant order his death certificate, i only know it was before 1940 when june got married as it has father deceased on her wedding certificate. i dont know where to go from here. thanks for the reply anway. jean

the Dublin Diocesan Guide says that Mourne Road was setup in 1942 from Terenure parish and Dolphin's Barn parish - they might have the older records.

Our Lady of Dolours, Dolphin's Barn, Dublin 8 .. most likely one
