Copy birth certificate for Army child born 1865 in Ireland?
« on: Friday 01 December 17 14:21 GMT (UK) »
Please can anyone tell me if I can get a copy birth certificate for an Army child born in Athlone in 1865?  I have the reference number from the GRO Regimental Index and I know who the parents were.  What I don't know is if I have to apply to the British or Irish authorities.  If Irish, which organisation?  I am sorry, but I get confused about where and how to apply for things in Ireland, and I  cannot seem to find the answer online anywhere.

Check under civil records on this site. If the birth was registered in Ireland (and many army births were), you'll see the certificate free.
