John Christopher Conroy, my wife's uncle died 1982.

Hi All,
We were discussing the Pope's visit to Scotland in 1982, and remembered Uncle John Christopher Conroy died the first day of Pope John Paul II's visit. We had family stories that he was born in Youghal, Cork, but never had proof. I looked up Ancestry and found one that was born in the quarter Oct-Nov-Dec 1926, which fits perfectly. The Scottish Death Certificate says his mothers maiden name was O'Donnell, but think that could be incorrect.

Would the Irish Birth Certificate give Parents details, and are they available online?

Hi Hallmark,

It is for family research, my mother in law, who is now deceased, went to Dublin to get her birth certificate, had great difficulty, as she had been registered as Mary Savage instead of Mary Conroy. Her father had changed name to join Army as he was under age, found out that was incorrect.

Just found out that Uncle John Conroy, her brother, had a middle name Christopher,and found a birth in Cork in Oct - Dec Qtr 1926 in Ancestry,and would like a certificate to get both parents names. Family stories, say they were in a convent/orphanage in Youghal as mother had died and father was in Army.
