Hi,
I have never done any Irish research. I am interested in an Elizabeth Lambert, believed to be born in Eire in about 1935.
I have found two possibles in Wexford, can anyone advise me the best way to find further information/obtain certificates?
Thanks for any assistance
-
Is this person still alive? If not - when & where did she die?
Did she marry? If so - to whom & when & where?
-
Is this one of your two possibles?

Pretty sure she is not still alive, although I am not sure and I have found no evidence that she married. I don't want to post the very little further information that I have because she may be!
Yes, that is one of my possibles.
Really looking for some general advice about how to look for further information or whether it might be possible to obtain a birth certificate. As I said I have never done any Irish research.

Marriage in 1920 of Lambert and Corish. Wexford Registration district. Available on Irish Genealogy.ie

Yes it is possible to get a birth certificate. You apply to the Irish GRO, using the information in the Familysearch index as posted by kiltaglassan earlier. You will need the page number, which is available under 'Document Properties'.

Thank you.

Using familysearch.org there are two Elizabeth Lambert births in the Enniscorthy area (part of Co Wex) 1934-1936. The mother's surname is given in each case. Using irishgenealogy.ie (civil records) you can find the possible marriages of the parents. (one married in Dublin, other in Enniscorthy area). You can also find the possible marriage record of the parents of the first birth you linked. You can then view these marriage records which may help to narrow down your search.

In addition to the advice already given, you can request a research cert, which costs €5 & is a photocopy of the entry. Much cheaper than a certified copy, which would be needed for official purposes.
-
Thank you all, that is really helpful.
The marriages I find seem to be a long time before possibly relevant births which is puzzling.
-
If the bride is 18 or even under you could expect births for at least 20 years after a marriage.
-
The Wexford district one is 1920, other two both 1927. Even the 1920 marriage with child born 15 years later would not be that unusual
-
Familysearch.org does not seem to list the maiden names of the mothers for at least 1920-27.
-
Marriage in 1920 of Lambert and Corish. Wexford Registration district.
Linking the marriage that you found.
Peter Lambert to Martha Corish - 16th February 1920.

If Elizabeth's parent are the ones married in 1920, then there are at least four siblings born between 1920 and 1937.
