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?

I have shared this info from FB, to see if we can find out the family of this young woman, apparently born 17 Aug 1910 in Chryston, Lanarkshire. On the Id Card, it says her name is Janet I or S Bell, but signs it N J Bell, I think. Cannot find correct birth certificate, need help please.

Notes from Lost Glasgow -

We stray today from our normal beat, to try to solve a mystery, which starts in Stonehouse, Lanarkshire, leads us to Aberdeen, and ends... Well, who knows where?
Site fan Jonathan Litewski was helping his brother-in-law to
clean out a lockup facility in Aberdeen, when he came across this old, WWII, National Registration Identity Card, once the property of a Janet Bell.
Jonathan wonders, who she was, what became of her, and if she has any living relatives?
Having lost many of his own relatives in the Holocaust, Jonathan would like, if possible, to return the card to its rightful owners - Janet's family.

Hi,

I have logged a post on the Lanarkshire board with above title, but I need some specialist help in the Youghal, Co. Cork area.

From the post on the Lanarkshire board,

""Mother in law Mary Conroy, passed away in 2003, it is believed her date of birth was 12th September 1928 in Youghal, Co. Cork. She had difficulty getting a copy of her birth certificate, when she attended registrar in Youghal, about 25 years ago. Maybe registered on wrong date or something. Still trying to get a family member to have a look at it.""

Hi All,

I am trying to find wife of the above named Michael Conroy, who was my wife's grandfather. Family stories have led us beleive he changed name and age to join Army in WW1. His wife died in childbirth with one of her children, Michael Conroy in 1930. This could have taken place in Youghal, Co Cork, unsure.

Mother in law Mary was then brought up with an Aunt, Annie Conroy, who was married to Peter Jamieson, living in Garngad and Springburn areas of Glasgow. I was wondering if any of the surviving Jamieson family are aware who his wife was, and where they got married. Family hearsay says he maybe got married when in Ireland or Northern Ireland when in Army, so may have used different name.

It's not easy. I have the MC of Michael Conroy's parents, I have his birth certificate in 14 Shuttle Lane, Glasgow. I have him in 1901 and 1911 census.

Hi All,
