This might be the family in 1911- seems to have been a child who died before 1911-

Shanew yeh have looked...but cant seem to find anything else, thank you for replying

I assume the registration district on Matthew's birth is Delvin or maybe Castletowndelvin ?

Assuming the family stayed in the same area then you could search for other Henry birth registrations in the same district... since the surname is not that common any you find may be related.

I'll have a quick look at the BMD Index and post any I find...

Thank you Shane

[shanew147]

this is the best match that I see for James :

 Name: James Henry
 Registration district: Delvin
 Event type: Birth
 Quarter and year: Apr-Jun 1912
 Volume: 3 / Page : 123

not guaranteed to be Matthew's brother - but might be worth a go...
