Link: Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon

[chirp]

I have never before ordered a certificate from the GRO in Roscommon so thought I would read this thread and I am little puzzled. The GRO website informs me that the cost of a certificate is 10 euros and there doesn't seem to be a difference between whether or not you have the details of the record. The record I need is for a death which occurred in 1867 - I have the name, age, place of registration, vol no, page no and FHL film no (which I gather I do not need to supply as it is irrelevant to this search). I do not have a quarter in which the death took place. Will  this be enough information? Has the cost of Irish certificates increased enormously in recent months or is there another way of getting them which I don't know about? The early posts on this thread refer to certificates at 4 euros and I know they are likely to be more than that now, but 10 seems a huge increase in price!! If anyone can offer any advice I would be very grateful. Thanks

It is still 4 euros for a photocopy, provided you provide the name, place, year, quarter (where given), volume & page number. Put that information on the line marked place of death. Quarters were only introduced around 1880ish. Your death is before that which is why none is shown. The higher price is for a full copy certificate, not  a photocopy.

You cannot order a photocopy on line. You need to print off the form and then either post or fax it to Roscommon. Do not worry about leaving some boxes blank on the form. As long as they have the name and reference details given above, they'll find it.

Excellent - thank you for your prompt reply.

Hi
I have just ordered a research copy cert from GRO for a marriage in 1932, Dublin
Would I get the details of mother of the groom, ie. her maiden name

Regards

No. Only the fathers names are given on Irish marriage certificates. You won't get any information on the mothers.

Thanks Elwyn
Hopefully the childrens certs I have ordered will come up with the mothers maiden name, if they are the right children, keeping fingers crossed

Hi,

The information I have is the name (John Sullivan), occupation Sergeant in R.I.C and the exact date of death in Dec 1909 and Limerick as the location.

There are a couple of entries that this could be, so will it cost 6 euros, as oppose to 4 ?

Confusing !

Thanks,

Sam.

As I understand it, if you can quote the place, year, quarter, volume and page number, then it's 4 euros. If you don't/can't quote that, and just rely on date of death it's 6 euros as they will have to look up indexes to find the page number etc.

Yes, and remember that's for a photocopy not a real certificate. Gerry.
