Ireland / Irish birth & death certificates plus rules for burial in Ireland
« on: Tuesday 31 March 15 18:50 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I wonder if someone could possibly answer the following questions:
Would an Irish bc record if a baby was a twin?
Is it unusual for a child to be registered with one name and baptised with another?
Why no death registrations? What was the law with regard to burials? Many of the deaths I am looking for have no dc. It seems to be a lucky dip if I find both a Church burial entry + dc, a dc only or a Church burial entry. Sometimes none of the above if the person was a child or baby. The dates I am looking for vary between 1850's - 1900. (Note: I do realise prior to 1864 there would be no civil reg.)
What was the custom with regard to burials?
Thanks for your assistance
