Apply to the Irish GRO. Contact details are on this site but hidden - scroll down homepage to getting started (written in tiny letters so you can easily miss it). click on getting started then click on civil registration. gives info about England and Wales and then Ireland and Scotland. nell |

If you mean 1828 and not 1928, then Civil Registration hadn't come in at that date in Ireland, so you would have to source Parish Registers to find a baptism instead. If you meant 1928, then follow the previous reply! Merry |

In 1828 you won't find nothing for Ireland. Civil registration began much later than this. It was July 1837 in England & Wales, 1855 in Scotland, and I believe it was even later than this for Ireland (both the Republic and Northern Ireland, which were one country then anyway until 1922). I believe Belfast GRO keeps the records for both the North and South for all years to 1922 and North only after this date, and Dublin keeps only details for the South, though I could be wrong on this fact. Ireland is a minefield in geneology, because most of the really good stuff went up in flames in a fire in the twenties I think, or in the case of the census, the returns were deliberately destroyed. I've long since given up on searching the Irish side of my tree as a bad idea, as a census entry in England for 'John Dillon, b. Ireland' is not terribly enlightening and there is no such thing as passenger records between England and Ireland !!! I guess you'd have to search church parish registers for a baptism in the same way you would in England, which is only good if you actually know WHERE to start looking! I don't rate your chances. |
