The address for the adoption website is
www.adoptionireland.com.
You can apply to Dublin GRO for a birth certificate using the mothers married name and her maiden name, I think. Not totally sure but they are very helpful so give it a go.
The address is www.groireland.ie
There is a request form on the website you give as many details as possible and they will hopefully help you.
There is a lot of info on the web site.
If you need any further help or addresses I will do all I can to help.
Kindest Regards
Margaret

Perhaps you could give more information. Was the baby adopted?
If so there is an Irish adoption site you could contact.
I am sure someone can help with more information.

I will give our local library a try. If not,after searching the web, I have found a Local History centre  in Manchester that holds the films.
I will let you know how I get on.

Thank you for all  your help and suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes quite right in both school records and court records no parents or grandmothers names are given.
 Will the records for Ireland be held in the family history centre here in England?
I will look up the nearest and see what I can find.
Just heard back from Cork Library today no Quilligans at Waltons Lane in Macroom on the census only residents are named Walton!

Once again thanks for your help.
Kindest Regards

Firstly thank you so much for your reply.
I have made an error in the info I gave. The birth record they found which may be my father is 5th JUNE 1919.
The date 25/11/1919 is the date of birth held on the school records. The Dublin RO searched for the years 1918 to 1920 all quaters.
They searched using the names held on the electoral roll for 1927/28 at the address 36 Hanover Street Cork my father was staying here with his grandmother when he was taken to court ON 25/3/1927 he was charged with wandering and having an unfit guardian.The court was told his father was dead his mothers whereabouts unknown. He was 7 years old. No parents or grandmothers names are on court record.
He was placed in St Josephs Industrial school Greenmount Cork.

There is nothing on the 1911 census for 36  Hanover Street.
I will try to find Waltons Lane on the census but the only Waltons lane I can trace on the web is in Macroom.
Cork RO cannot find a marriage cert for Mary and Michael in Macroom and without a date cannot search further.
No baptism records held in St Peters and Pauls or Finbarrs,St Patricks etc in Cork city.
I will get back to cork library again and ask them to search for Waltons Lane on 1911 Census.
Thanks for your suggestions. If you think of anything else Please let me know.
Kindest Regards
Margaret

Can anyone help me to look up a birth record for my late father William O'Driscoll  5 JUNE 1919
He was placed  in an Industrial school in Cork( Greenmount) in 1927 he left the school in 1935.they told him he was an orphan He came over to England circa 1945 and never returned to Ireland. He sadly died in 1985 without finding his family I have been trying to trace his family.
 I have discovered he was given someone elses date of birth and the parents he thought were his belong to this other person.
 After a search by Dublin RO a possible birth record has been found for him.
I need to check the parents of the mother shown on this birth record.
A long complicated story I know but I am desperate to give my late father the dignity of his own birth record with his real parents
This birth record which may be his shows Father Michael mother Mary nee Quilligan.
Address 5 Waltons Lane Cork.
Can anyone help me ?
Many thanks
