Help - birth of William GERRARD
« on: Wednesday 22 July 15 17:11 BST (UK) »

I have managed to trace the birth registration of my great, great grandfather William Gerrard to 06/07/1805 in the parish records in Navan. According to the record his father was called Christopher Gerrard and mothers maiden name Mary Garry.
I am now stuck!
Can anybody help

IF RC try the newly released registers.
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Thank you for the help, but I am still stuck. My great great grandfathersbirth was registered in the parish/district of Navan, Co. Meath on 6th July 1805.
His father is shown as Christopher Gerrard and mother Mary Garry,
I have tried looking at the records in NLI but cannot enlarge them enough on my PC to read, the only other information I have is that my great uncle was born in Arbraccen.
Any help would be gratefully received as ultimately the only other way will be to travel to Ireland but I will need more help before that happens.
