Hello Donna.  You can order the certificates from the Govt website.  You need to register and can also pay on line.  I noticed that you said your father was born in the Sept of 1922.  The birth is registered in the last quarter Oct-Dec.  Maybe the birth was registered late.  I would advise you to check it before you order.  When ordering you have to quote the 'quarter' of the birth and also the Volume No and page No.

Certificates:

To search for bmd's (paid site you need to buy units. You will also have to register first)

I hope this is of some help to you.  If you need more assistance, just ask.  Everyone on this site is so helpful.

Regards
Dee Melody

Hello Donna,
just saw this posting - was away for your original one. Don't know if this is any use at all but I was looking at 1901 census at http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com
where there are a few Dever families in Westport - noticed your dad's name and wondered if there was a connection.
There are no Ileys at all around Westport by the looks of it.
best wishes

Hi Donna    Your fathe's marriage license should also have his mother's maiden name on it.  Is it possible for you to get that?

If marriage took place in Ireland only father's name and occupation will be listed- and I believe English certificates are the same. Birth certificate should list both parents.

Donna,
our grandparents John and Mary were both from ireland but Mary was from Mayo (southern Ireland) and John was from Northen Ireland Belfast I beleive. He was a docker by trade. Dad did have 3 sisters Kathleen,Mary, and Patricia. He also had 2 brothers Daniel and Michael. I have no idea if they were older or younger than Dad. His sister Kathleen was married to someone with the surname of Grant. He still had cousins alive in Mayo when he died. Molly and Cissie. They lived at 5 Johns Row, Westport Co Mayo. I have a photo of Dad's mum if you would like to see it let me knoe and I'll try and dig it out. It's in a case in the loft.
