Family search pilot site-refining search -HELP!
« on: Thursday 18 June 09 13:26 UTC (UK) »

Does anyone know if it is possible to refine the categories any more that those offered?
eg. I am looking for a birth in Dublin North, Sept quarter 1885.
I can put in Dublin, but not Dublin North. I can put in 1885, but not the relevant quarter.
Is there any way of doing this?
Any answers should be of the one word variety, and non technical. Assume no knowledge!

I find the Irish BMDs search works better if you don't try and put too much detail in.
Its a little tempremental and sometimes dones give any results at all if I enter dates and place  Undecided

Don't forget that its not complete, there are many records missing....


added  - have you seen the threads on this over on the Ireland board?  There were lots of hints and tips given when it was first published on the pilot site.

Thank you for your interest!
The problem is that I am looking only for Kathleen Elizabeth, I do not know her surname Undecided
This is what I am trying to discover.
I will just have to wait for the 1901 Dublin Census. She should be there somewhere with her sisters, whose surname I do know - Boshell. They had the same father but Kathleen had a different mother, and was not registered as Boshell. I have searched myself twice and had a search done also.

I have her in Dublin 1911  as Kate Boshell. She was not with her family.
She did not marry.
She died in 1927 aged 42 in Crumpsall Manchester, where she was a nursing sister. On her death cert. she was described as the daughter of John Edward Boshell, Captain, Merchant service. The informant was her sister Annie, my grandmother.

I am just trying to find out who her mother was!
There is another thread about this in the Dublin section.
I do not know how to link them Embarrassed

Did you ever get the female Whitty birth cert? 
Though I doubt if it would tell you very much.

I did receive the Whitty birth cert. It gave the father as John Whitty.
Thanks again!
