Hi all,
I am trying to do some family history for my step-mum, but have no access to Ireland records and never searched them before. Was wondering if anyone could help please.
She has told me that her mother was Teresa Rose Curran, born in Waterford on 6 October 1931, to Thomas and Catherine Curran.
I tried having a look but nothing come up. If there are any Ireland experts I'd greatly appreciate the help! Thank you :)

If you go to https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
Just put Surname in, and Search.
They will be under one of the following Districts
Carrick on Suir
Clogheen
Clonmel
Dungarvan
Kilmacthomas
Lismore
Waterford
Youghal
which you can then select from list on Left.
Unless you know where in Waterford County.

Thanks.
There is a marriage:
Marriage of THOMAS CURRAN and KATHLEEN MCGRATH
on 01 February 1915
Group Registration ID 1786244
SR District/Reg Area Waterford
But if you click on the image, it says Catherine McGrath AND Kathleen McGrath...
I suddenly thought to try family search. I typed in Teresa's name, and got this:
Name Teresa R M Curran
Event Type Birth
Event Date Jan - Mar 1932
Event Place Waterford, Ireland
Registration Quarter and Year Jan - Mar 1932
Registration District Waterford
Mother's Maiden Name Mcgrath
Volume Number 4
What do you reckon?
-
I was just about to post that birth, so yes I think it's a strong possibility, births are sometimes registered late.

Does seem a good match. Thanks.

According to the cert Kathleen/Catherine's father was Roger.
And I knew Teresa had a brother called Roger/Rodger.
Just found:
Name Roger Curran
Event Type Birth
Event Date Apr - Jun 1928
Event Place Waterford, Ireland
Registration Quarter and Year Apr - Jun 1928
Registration District Waterford
Mother's Maiden Name Mcgrath
Volume Number 4
So I think this is the one.
Thanks all.
