Hi all

I have received my grandads birth certificate from 1925 (he is deceased now) and it gives his address and also states where he was actually born.

His parents were living at 22 Sevastopol street and he was born at 58 Balkan street.

I assumed this was a hospital at first but I checked the address on Lennon Wylie's site and a gentleman named James Quinn (a labourer) was living there.
I can aonly assume that perhaps James Quinn's wife was a midwife or something.

Does anybody have any idea what this might be?

Kind regards

Hi

I am looking for information on where in Dublin my grandfather lived before he moved over to England.
All involved have now passed.

His name was William Wilson and he would have been around 7/8 when he left Belfast to move to Dublin in or around 1930ish.
His mother was called Agnes McKenna but more than likely going under the name of Agnes Harvey as the man she lived there with was called Thomas Brookes Harvey.
They lived in Dublin at least until 1942 as they had a daughter in 1942.
By 1948 they were in England.

Any help locating them would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone

Years ago I ordered a marriage cert for William Wilson and Sarah Jane Whelan from somewhere (Emeraldancestors I think) and when the email came back to me they kindly said that in the parish register it actually gave both parents for the groom and the bride.
The grooms parents were William Wilson and Ann Rice and that the father was desceased and was a Publican by trade.
I could never find a marriage or any children (including William) for William and Ann. I know that this is not unusal and just assumed I would never get any further information on my direct line as is the curse for a lot of Irish folk.
Recently however I discovered that I also ordered another marriage cert from the same people for another Belfast direct line and the parents tey gave me (Once again in the parish register) was incorrect. The father was correct but they had mixed up the mother with the female witness (This marriage was located on Ancestry) so I was able to see this for myself.
The reason I mention all this is because recently I have found a birth for a William Wilson in the correct year (death cert gave me his age) with parents William James Wilson who was a Bartender  and Mary Jane Purvis. This marriage unfortunately is not on Ancestry. The information of the birth is on Ancestry and the bartender occupation is from another tree of a relative that I believe she ordered.
The father William james Wilson (prviding it is the correct man) was desceased by the time William (his son) was married in 1885. There are a few deaths for William Wilson that may well match the age of the father on https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ but I am wondering if there is a way I can order a copy of the death cert/photocopy but put down that his occupation must be bartender/publican so I don't have to buy numerous certs?
In England if you order a cert you can put down things that must match and if they don't they will email you and you only have to pay something like £4 instead of £11 for their trouble.

Sorry for rambling on.

I'm pretty sure it's Walter but need a second and third opinion please
