You can't buy a research copy online only by using the link hallmark posted.
You can buy a certified one online but it's a lot more expensive

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?

you could find 5 or 6 that "match".....
Hi Hallmark,

Yes, I suppose I could get 5 or 6, but the Scottish Death Certificate, gave us his middle name, and mother's maiden name, O'Donnell, and birthplace of Cork, which is nearly as family stories had told me. It is one brick wall that I would really love to break down. My wife's grandfather had kept lots if secrets from his offspring, nobody knew what he did, it would be great to solve.

We think she may have been McDonald or Macdonald, some family think she may have been born in Greenock

Have you any idea of the mothers first name?
If a death of a woman of that name, solider wife could be found, it might be possible to find the marriage.
They should both be online.

I don't think any clue to father or mother's first names have been posted!

Hi,

Her first name was Elizabeth. His name could be Michael Conroy, or John Savage or Michael Savage. We do not know why he used different names, but he did.
