While as Yanniboy says, hospital records pre-1968 were destroyed, you can still obtain the Delivery Ward extract from info@nmh.ie through an FOI request.
I did this for my step-grandfather who was born at Holles St hospital in 1929. It didn't reveal a lot of information, but does include info such as health of child on delivery (plus, weight, appearance of child, etc), parents details and who was present at the birth.

You will need the birth certificate & death certificate of the person whose delivery ward extract you're requesting, and a scan of your photo ID.

Surely the best way to find the age of the baby would be to find its birth registration, which should have its father's address and trade too?

The OP - all the way back in 2011 - did have the birth registration!

Ah, puzzling! However, I'm failing to find a *whole family* of Sligo farmers in the civil records, so not necessarily surprising!

Incidentally, the death records are sometimes less accurate about age, I've found a few quite wrong ages in them, in cases where people died away from their family.
