hes living with bro and sisters and ma 1901 census same address

which 2 births 1911 , sorry am i missing something ?

Thank you Shane family Search has given me only 2 matches for a June 1919 birth of Catherine McCarthy 1 in Fermoy and 1 in Listowel so there is a chance that 1 of them is my Grandmother. As Michael was a fisherman I am leaning more toward the Listowel birth because it is closer to the sea. Will order both certificates and see what I get.

If Michael and Catherine married in a Catholic church how would I go about tracing the record of it?

[DeniseJo]

I have just downloaded the form to order the birth certificates and on the form it says questions with a * must be answered but I dont have the answers

* Address of place of birth (hospital/home)
*Mothers Birth Surname

I dont know the answer to either and the form says if I dont answer all the questions it could be returned. There is nowhere on it for page or volume number

Please read this page (which you would have seen if you followed Shane's links posted earlier in the thread).

The application form is really designed for people to apply for their own certificate but you can use it and supply the index details.

it wasnt because it was so detailed I just didnt take it all in. A great topic that was a big help to me and I'm sure many others 

[DeniseJo]

Thank you for all the help I have been given in this post. I now have some hope of going a little futher with my Irish roots 

I have filled in an application for the certificates of both of the Catherine McCarthy's that were born 1919 and will post it tomorrow  I will give you an update when the certificates arrive
