I was wondering if anyone could please help me with a question?
My ancestor was born in Ireland in 1877 and we have a certified copy of his birth certificate. We now think that his parents married several months after he was born, but there is no mention of him being illegitimate on his birth certificate and both his parents names are listed on it??
Would Irish birth certificates at that time not contain any detail on whether a child was illegitimate, and would they contain both parents names, regardless of whether or not they were married?
