Excellent, thanks for that!  I'll have to figure out how to order that certificate; the GRO doesn't do  online transactions but instead want you to write your credit card details on a form and mail it off to them; must admit that i'm not entirely comfortable with that, might see if i can do it over the phone (though apparently they need a signed form). 

If she didn't know/provide her birth father's name, is there any other way to locate her birth records?  The family story is that her father apparently went off to america either before or not long after her birth and left her mother in the lurch.

If Annie didnt include her birth father's details on her marriage cert then finding her birth cert will be difficult.  You could just search The Irish Civil Index on familysearch for possible matching births, with close matches to year of birth and  name, but without any parents names I think it could be a problem confirming any certs you order based on these are correct. Do you know where she  was born ? (i.e. Finglas ?) A location for the birth would narrow down the possible results

I would say the first step is to try for the marriage cert and keep your fingers crossed that it does include her biological father's details.

shanew147,
Absolutely, lets hope that there are some details regarding Annie's father, otherwise it might be back to the drawing board. 

What's the best way to go about finding about an RIC constable listed in the 1912 Porters guide to Finglas?  It lists a John Brennan, but i've no way of knowing if he's one of the family or not?

I think that it might be a good idea to put up a separate tread for say Francis (Terry) Brennan and the Flying Columns, or Charlie Brennan and the WW1 photo etc.
It might attract those that have know-how  in those specific areas.

I'm sure there is knowledge on rootschat about IRA activities in Lucan Leixlip etc.
If you put a clue in the subject it might draw out the geniuses.

Hi,
I am the granddaughter of Patrick Brennan from North road Finglas.I just happened to come across this site through browsing.
 My father Patrick Brennan is still alive, he is eighty four years old.
There has been recent names put on the family grave only recently but these are more recent burials such as John (sandy) Brennan who never married.
I don't know if there is some way of contacting directly?

Once you have 3 posts you can use the private messages system (the little green scroll) under people's name on the left. You can then exchange email addresses and communicate directly.

We are not allowed to post email addresses or details of living (or possibly living) people on rootschat, so that's why the pm system is provided.

one more post and you should be able to use it....

p.s. - welcome to rootschat!

I thought that I might post a little information from the Brennan family plot in St Canice's graveyard in Finglas to share with any other Brennan researchers out there. 

Are there any issues with me posting a transcription of the headstone/memorial? 

And of course, many thanks to the person that provided the photo’s and inscription.
