Link: Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon

[Joy Dean]

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!

Unfortunately not all deaths were registered. There are burial records for my great-great-grandparents in Athenry, Galway, but their deaths were not registered; the registrar in Galway checked the original register for me.

Not sure how things worked in 1906 but I know of recent cases where people who have married in church have discovered later that the priest never sent in the form to the register.
One lady only found out when she applyed for a passport in her married name, turned out hers and a few other couples forms had fallen down the back of a press in the sacristy and had been there for over 10 years.

Hi shamrockqueen

There is a marriage of Patrick Mullane and Mary Collins in Oct to Dec 1899 Vol 5 Page 1, Bandon, Cork

On the Irish census 1901 and 1911 a lot of the ages are not accurate especially for parents, ie. in my own family age was recorded as 28 but the actual age was 36 so I would expand ages up to 10 years.
Children ages tend to be fairly accurate.

In relation to Thomas Mullane

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.

Thank you very much, I shall do that.

It arrived today, and he is who I hoped that he was. 

I had posted the application on Friday 1st June and the marriage record arrived today, Saturday 9th June!

Can anyone please tell me whereabouts GRO is,in Roscommon Town?
On the address it says Convent Rd.
The only places in Roscommon I am familiar with(on our numerous journeys from here in Armagh to my daughters' in Galway!)are the shopping places...heatons,tesco etc..also know where the hospital is.
Is there a limit on the number of copies you can purchase in one visit?
If there is,and two of us are looking...can we have a limit each(if you know what i mean!)
Also,can i pay on the spot there either with euros,credit card or debit card?
As my daughter lives around an hour from there,it would be no problem getting there.
Do i have to take details with me,or are there comps available for research?

Roscommon is the head office, and does not have a research facility for the public.

You can visit the research room Dublin to collect certs on the spot or access the Index books to look up references, but in most cases it's much simpler, and cheaper, finding the required references on the FamilySearch website.

The GRO research room is located in the Irish Life Centre on Lwr. Abbey Street in Dublin. And there is a limit of 5 certs per person per day. Additional certs over this limit can be posted out. They only accept cash as far as I know in the research room - never seen  any credit cards used.

You can use a credit card for orders by post - work out the same cost per cert either way.
