you can order certs from the GRO - www.groireland.ie, or the GRONI (General Registrar's Office of Northern Ireland) http://www.groni.gov.uk/index/order_certificates.htm  using the Index details you have :  name, year/quarter, registration district, volume & page

If he was in Belfast in 1911 you may find him on the Census : http://census.nationalarchives.ie/

Hi Gail

You have to buy copies of birth certs as the info is not available for public viewing

Thanks Carole - will try and get one ordered tomorrow! You have been a great help!

are Edmund and Henry father and Son ?

I am presuming that they may be in Belfast or near Moira

not all the counties are available yet on the National Archives census website.. Down and Antrim are
The other counties followed by the 1901 data are due to be completed later this year


Shane

[gailio]

yes Shane they are father and Son
Have got a lot of information about the English side of the family on the northumbrian site
still finding hard to chase up the McConnells in northern ireland  - but then i might not get far as EH McConnell was a foundling! So i suppose i have to start with getting his birth cert. he was in england for 1911 census, cant find him on ni census for 1901, and as i dont know any history about him it is so hard - dont know his parents names, but presume he 'took' the name of mcconnell from the people that raised him.

Hi

There is another post about Edmund as he married in 1907 to Margaret Algar in Northumberland

Henry is probably their son

I recommended an Irish 1901 lookup for Edmund as he was in Northumberland in 1911
