Link: Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon

[Rivergull]

Okay ;o))    Thanks for that, Shane.   So then does the DUBLIN GRO hold the same stuff (prior to 1922) as the ROSCOMMON GRO ?   Excuse my thick headednes!!  I'm a stickler for details.

The Dublin GRO office has a research room - where you can view the index books with the same reference details as the familysearch index (i.e. registration district, volume & page), and order certs on the spot (up to 5 a day).

You can visit the research room and order certs, but only the Roscommon office provides an ordering  service by post.

Just be cautious of the Irish Roots transcripts - they are only as good as the human who typed them initially and their interpretation of the original.
Also for legal proof you will still need original certificates

I have also found errors, for example, the name on a marriage cert given for the father of  my great grandmother was written as A. Fowling but the same cert ordered from Gro Roscommon stated that she was a foundling. The gro cert also gave the names of the witnesses which was omitted from the Irish roots transcripts. Although it may take longer ordering directly from the GRO, I think that researchers who require full details of a particular registration should order the photocopy which now costs 6euro. I have received several such copies and have been well pleased with both the transcriptions and the service and will now obtain any future certs by this means.

Could I confirm that a copy from the registers now costs 6 euros?

I ordered 2 certs in April quoting the Index References and I was only charged 8 Euro.
Guess the €2.00 search fee is still waved if you quote the index reference.

I am just about to order some certificates and have downloaded the forms. They say for a photocopy it costs 6 euro's. Presumably this is the same as what everyone has been talking about but they have put the price up by 1 euro? I will need names of parents and their occupations from the certificate. Will a photocopy for 6 euro's provide me with that info?

As far as I know the price of a research cert is still €4, as long as you include the full references needed to order the cert - i.e. name, year/quarter, registration district, volume & page. Extra changes apply if the GRO staff have to carry out a search - giving the references means no searching is required.

for details included in the birth register and on the cert (which is photocopy of this) see : Details included on a Birth Cert

p.s. presumably you are referring to a birth cert ?

in case it's marriage cert you are ordering then see  : Details included on a Marriage Cert

Father's names and occupation are included on marriage certs  - mothers are not
