Post by: Doreen09 on Tuesday 08 August 17 05:36 BST (UK)

I am searching for my great grandfather's date of birth. His name is John Brophy, son of Martin Brophy and Mary Leonard, supposedly born in Dublin around end of 1830s.

If you are not certain that Dublin was birthplace you could search the parish records in Laois. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/1000 However there is a gap in baptisms between 1810 and 1839.
