that's very interesting thank you.

will any records exist where I can track back to find johns birth records in Dublin. or on his fathers marriage.
read that a lot has been destroyed by fire 1941 ?

I cannot find any search finding either johns birth "he never married" or his father Thomas.

john in later life lived with his brother james greer and it from here that I found on james birth certificate that gives his father as Thomas greer occupation watchmaker

any information would be much appreciated.thanks again

Assuming St.George parish is a COI, there are records here
https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/location.jsp?diocese=DUBLIN+%28COI%29
But I don't see your family.

Or it could refer to a Civil Parish, there are 2 Civil Parishes called St.George in County/City Dublin.

BTW the fire was 1922

Lost most of 4 Census, Anglican parish records, Wills, (most transcripts survived), Court documents.
