Cork / Re: Trying to find a birth record circa 1870 cork city

Thanks again for all the advice offered previously, I was thinking about all this again in the early hours...........
On Johns marriage (civil) record in the Registrars book of marriages it states his father as being Francis - would it have been legal to do so if his name was really 'Another' Francis rather than just Francis or could he just have put what he was known as?

I didn't even think of that  ::)
Children are right ones so that's another avenue for me to think about.

Thanks all, much appreciated - this line is the one giving me the most headaches

Hi - thanks for your reply

I've found Johns death (Newry) but can't be sure I've found him in 1901 census and there's no sign of Francis in either 1901 or 1911 census.
I've tried civil records but, again, no sign of Johns birth with Francis as the father.
That's a good idea to widen it to Cork as a whole - I've perhaps been too focussed on Cork City as that seemed to be the one solid clue I had.

Thanks again for your advice

Cork / Trying to find a birth record circa 1870 cork city
« on: Thursday 28 January 21 13:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I'm trying to find any records relating to the birth of John Twomey, info I've found so far:
He married Ellen McCann in 1909 in Newry listing his father as Francis Twomey.
In the 1911 census he lists his birth place as City of Cork (hence posting on this board)
And that's it, I can't find any records for a birth with Francis as a father - indeed I can't find many records of a Francis Twomey at all (his marriage would be a real bonus!) so, having hunted for this for quite some time I've realised I need help/advice and that's where you knowledgeable lot come in.

In hope, Bean

South Africa / are wills (Natal 1933 to 1950) or index online?
« on: Monday 11 November 19 13:00 GMT (UK)  »
Is it possible, is there an online index (like the uk version)?

I know when the relevant people died, I 'think' they left wills and I have ref numbers from NAAIRS but I can't work out if it's (or if it even is) possible to get any further.

can anyone out there enlighten me?
