Link: Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon

The form is not really designed for historic certs... just fill in your details on the form - name, address credit card etc and attach a separate sheet of paper with the references mentioned in the first post in the topic, and mention that you wish to order 'Research Certs'

Once you give these, each cert should only cost €4.

I printed off the marriage certificate form and put in the details of the marriage & requested a 5 year search too.

They married in 1906 (They searched from 1902-1906).

No entry/record was found for the marriage - my g grandparents defiantely married in ireland. So i'm wondering - what do i do know to continue my search?

Have you searched for the bride and groom in the civil registration index to narrow down the dates, possible spelling of names, etc.? It's not uncommon to find a mariage took place earlier or later than expected.

I requested a death certificate from 1960 for my grandmother
They did a 5 year search and said none could be found
I resent the application attaching the death notice explaining I was 100% in my dates
There was still no death record found and I have never worked out why!

Hi Aghadowey

Yes - i've searched the civil registration index and found nothing. Also i've tried searching on roots ireland - nothing again.

I'm wondering if i ask for a further 5 year search from 1907 - will they find it?  Only my grandfather was born in 1907.  On the 1911 census it stated they were married in 1906.

Hi Myluck

It's so annoying - when you know 100% the information you send is right!

Before trying to re-order suggest you search again to see if you can find them in the index. Usually best to start very broad search (such as name only) then use the options on left of page to select decade, etc. Unusual names help although they can sometimes cause mistranscriptions.

I can only remember not finding 2 registrations.
1) great-great-grandparents' marriage: I had date and names of 2 possible churches- eventually found in register but had been omitted from Registrar's & GRO index
2) death for widow of relative: death notice in local newspaper mentioned she died at son-in-law's residence and I would have liked to have known name of informant (hopefully either son-in-law or his wife whose first name I don't know) but even after looking through registrations covering district for that period it couldn't be found.

Hi Aghadowey

Thanks for the info - but have tried all options - believe you me!  Nothing found.  Surely they would have married?
