Family Search BMDs - problem

[shanew147]

Irish Civil Registration index is back up this evening!

Looks better, but I don't think is right yet - it should be showing a marriage that took place at the Pro-Cathedral in 1878. The groom is there on the index but the bride isn't - it may of course be because the bride's details were never indexed. (It happens).

To check this out, could SKS please check on the microfilm or paper indexes and see if you can find a Teresa MCNALLY marrying a Daniel SHERIDAN in Jul/Sep 1878, North Dublin, Vol 2, Page 479. Daniel is there but Teresa still isn't.  I know the reference is correct, the marriage cert (showing both parties) arrived from Roscommon today.

 Name: Teresa M'Nally
 Registration District: Dublin North
 Event Type: Marriage
 Quarter and Year: Jul - Sep 1878
 Volume Number: 2
 Page Number: 479

p.s. what was Daniel's father's name and occupation ?   (just wondering if he's connected to my Sheridans..)

Stone me, where did you find that?

I am still looking on the Record Search Pilot site and I notice that the number of Terea McNally's had reduced from 110 to 105. The number of marriages in the Co Dublin is 9 and there are no Teres's getting married in the 19th C!

Dan's father was Thomas who was a 'Victualler' if you PM your email adds I'll send you a copy.

Now for that drink!

for Mc surnames you have to try M' (that's a single quote) and without the Mc altogether, and sometimes with Mac also...

Will pm you my details...

Just experimenting with the Teresa McNally searches and it does seem to show up a flaw in the indexing as it only seems possible to find her details if you already know the surname and enter it as part of the search.

Searching for marriages by location, firstname and exact year does not include her..and yet some searches I've checked by brides first-name only do work out ok...

Now that the site is fixed, it would be a good idea to start a new thread for individual look-ups.

I don't think the site is fixed just yet - perhaps in a day or two when those of us who have been 'suffering' have been able to check previous results then we might be able to declare the problem 'fixed'

There are still problems with the civil registration index.
A search for Casey brought up a total of 562 entries for Ireland. For Casey in Kerry dates 1900-1909 there is 1 death 1marriage and 3 births showing.
1920-1929  1 Casey registered.

It seems there is a large part of the index still inaccessible.

Hugo - Just the same - in your own best interests to stay on topic and have a new thread for specific enquiries.

In my opinion Hugo is right on topic. I've been following this topic since the start.

The problem with familysearch is real and only by test searches and sharing our findings we can work out when the problem has truly been fixed.
