Tips for searching Irish BMD civil registrations

[aghadowey]

3rd question; when a mother's name is listed in a birth registration, it is sometimes a double name, one of the father & husband, the other one is - I assume - her maiden name. Is there an order in the indexing of these double names? \His name first and then hers or vice versa?

Sometimes the LDS site lists mother's name as her maiden name and other times includes her married name. The example below should help.
Father John Smith, mother Mary Jones. LDS lists mother as Mary Jones or Mary Smith Jones.
The reason is the way the certificate is laid out. In the column for the mother's details the certificate will actually say Mary Smith formerly Jones.

Shane and Aghadowey, thank you very much for your advice and help and the links to the various threads.
I'll have another go at the records.

Further question re ordering research records/copies.
Can the GRO also supply copies of records for Irish citizens from other collections, namely Ireland-VR, Ireland-EASy and Ireland-ODM?

GRO and GRONI have nothing to do with LDS database although some of the LDS records are obviously from the civil registrations.

 I am using familysearch.org to search the Irish civil registrations for births. I note that there are several references on this thread to getting the parents names in the results but I am not, only the childs christian/surname,  reg dist. vol and page details.
  Am I doing somthing wrong or has the display changed ?
 Without the parents names it isn't possible to identify the correct birth for ordering photocopies

Hi,The civil registration index will not show the parents
except for the mothers maiden name after about 1928
for irish records,using advanced search if you know this.
Other sections of familysearch.org have  records which
include parents names but these, in some cases are
submitted records and in some collections parish records.
The link below should go to a list of the records available
 on the site and if you check the details for each collection
before you make your search you will be aware of the limitations
and will help you decide which collection suits your needs best.

    Thank you Anne. The names I am looking at are included in the civil Registration records in the 1900's and don't appear in any of the other collections.
  Thankyou for your reply

The newest version of LDS database has 4 sections for Irish records.
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1&countryId=1927084

1) Ireland Births and Baptisms, 1620-1881 - extracted birth records which record parents' names
2) Ireland Deaths, 1864-1870 - extracted records
3) Ireland Marriages, 1619-1898 - extracted records
4) Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes, 1845-1958 - goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties

#1-3 are extracted records and not complete. You are looking at #4 which is the index.

   Yes you are correct I am looking at the Indexes. It was just that I had got the impression from earlier discussion relating to the pilot site that people had been getting parents names. I now see that these would have come from the earlier extracted entries.
    I will have to contain my frustration at having all those names available, but not knowing who they belonged to.
    I don't have enough information yet on where they might have been living to obtain photocopies from GROS
