where do you find pre 1800 births

[sandiep]

How do you find births in Ireland when all I have is the fact they were born in Ireland from Scotish 1861 census.

John Reip born c1784  married Bridget Kavanagh born c1806

Johns parents were Patrick Reip & Mary Ferguson

Bridgets parents were Michael Kavanagh & Helen Mcana?

I have no idea how to start  ideas please

Try looking for Reip in the Griffiths Valuation to see which counties had Riep households. I don't think it's a common name.

is there a site with this on, google just brings up partial refs and as I have no idea which part of Ireland they came from its difficult to search.

The name Reip hasnt turned up on any of the Irish webs I have tried so far  most frustrating!

Hi,

You can access the Griffiths valuation paid at otherdays.com.

The irish times ancestors site has a surname search that shows you which counties to search in and alternative spellings for your surname.

There is an index on the wonderful hayes site but the search engine is not 100% reliable. (Google's fault not the webmaster)
