James Curry b1924 and his parents

[Andro93]

Hello, I have been searching for quite a while for James Curry, born in 1924 in either Killesher or Kinawley parishes of Clogher's Catholic Diocese. No luck with the GRO or with the NLI or national archives in Dublin. Also, his parents were another James Curry and Maria Murphy, their first child born in 1916. As the parishes cross the Cavan Fermanagh border, the records could be in either. If anyone can help I shall be very grateful. Andrew Wilson

GRO online birth records have a 100 year cutoff, so just miss 1924, most of the Catholic records on the NLI website cut off in the 1880s. A search in the GRO research room is the only option, or talking to them about doing a search for you. note - the research room is due to be closed for a week or two, see Irish Genealoy News

p.s. there's an index to births for ROI on FamilySearch that covers births for 1924, up to 1958 I think, it's just an index so no parents details but includes details you need to order a cert. If the birth was registered in Northern Ireland after 1921 then check GRONI, their online system has a similar 100 year cutoff.

I had a quick look at the births Index , no sign of a James Curry born 1924 plus or minus 2 years in any of the districts for the area around Killesher and Kinawley in the 'Southern' index on FindMyPast

Yes, Northern Ireland records after 1921/2, you have to use PRONI.
A shame really.

If the birth was registered in Northern Ireland after 1921 then check GRONI, their online system has a similar 100 year cutoff.

GRONI (General Register Office Northern Ireland) is the only repository for birth, death and marriage records in what is now Northern Ireland, from 1st January 1922 onwards.
