Dublin / Re: Ordering birth cert

Sorry no. Christopher was discharged from the workhouse 25 Jan 1897 so possibly to his mother (who seems to have died by 1901) I'd think he was either a nurse child or in an institution by 1901. Also haven't followed up on Thomas but I'd start looking in the deaths. I'll have a look see if he turns up in the workhouse records tomorrow.

Hi. The workhouse records (South Dublin Union) are online on FindMyPast which is a subscription site, though you can also buy credits or they do free trials as well. If the army records give Richard at the same address as the 1901 census - that's a clincher !  :)

If you check the civil birth of Thomas the youngest 3rd May 1891
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1891/02390/1891650.pdf it gives an address at 22 Queens Sq.
(unfortunately it now gives mother as DUNNE but the baptism image for St Andrews is online on Ancestry and that has the same DOB of 3rd May 1891.)
Workhouse records in 1893 show that both Richard and Christopher Byrne (aged 6 and 4) of 22 Queen's Sq entered the workhouse for medical treatment and were to be returned to their mother - a widow.
This looks to be Thomas Byrne (the father) death - same address 22 Queen's Square and he is listed as a stoker.

Richard turns up in Workhouse records again in 1903 - a nurse child at a farm in Knockmitten with a Mary Tierney - it is found that he is "working with son on the land" and it is ordered that he be
returned to schooling.
I'd think that Mary has already died as well at this stage - so may be why Christopher gives brother Richard as NOK and not his mother when he joins the army.
All seems to fit - but no clincher !!
Is there an address for Richard in the Army records ?

EDIT - would have made more sense if I'd posted on the related thread

There is a Jesse smith  born 1906 who married Fred greatbanks a relative on ancxxxty didn't think they.d had any children
That marriage church record between Fred Greatbanks and Jessie Smith is on Ancestry and the bride has left all her fathers details blank, so could well be the right person.
I can't see a divorce (closed for 100 years I think) but Jessie 'Smith or Greatbank' later married Albert E Lincoln in Manchester in 1956. Fred seems to have remarried to an Esther Shaw in 1955. Jessie seems to have died in Manchester as Jessie Lincoln in 1972 (10e/203) giving a birth date as 31 Aug 1906 . This fits with the birth reg in Swansea in Dec 1906.
Did you ever buy the Jessie Smith birth cert ? or do you know her birth date from the newspapers.
Can't find any children born to this Jessie Smith/Greatbank/Lincoln.

I'd be fairly certain that she's at Whitworth Rd as well - see here for access to records etc

It would have taken place at St Laurence O' Tool's church. They do have a volunteer archivist who does look up's so contact the parish office

Maybe Rootsireland would be worth a try. I seem to remember that St Michans & St Pauls are a bit 'mixed up' and Rootsireland are the only ones that have St Pauls records - and William Jnr does give his birth as Parish Of St Pauls according to the other thread.
