So that’s why the site was painfully slow yeterday - bank holiday freeloaders!

Best information for Ireland is probably not Ancestry- there are lots of free resources. Here are just a few-

Irish vital (& some church) records-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/church-records/about/what-church-records-are-available-online

R.C. Parish Registers- although Ancestry does have an index with links to the records they index can be very hit or miss-
https://registers.nli.ie/

PRONI (Public Record Office of Northern Ireland)-

My subscription is due for renewal, I might not bother as they seem to have so many free days that I'm subsidising!!

Until the libraries reopen, which could be many weeks, ancestry (worldwide) is totally free on your librarys website by logging in with your library card number and pin.

Just going to say that, Rosie  ;)

My library system discontinued it years ago.

Some libraries have temporarily reinstated remote access.
Check the website(s) of your local librar(ies).
