I am looking for a birth certificate of Hugh HARPER who was born 1817 in Donegal His father is James HARPER and mother Mary Ann KELLY.
I have Hughs Death cert and Marriage. he married in Greenock Scotland and died in Greenock Scotland, so at some point of being born and married they moved to Scotland but I cant find any info on the parents
Can someone shed any light on where i can get a birth certificate, which will give the parents names hopefully. Cathy.

Civil registration of births started in 1864 so there will be no birth certificate. To find a baptismal record (if the church record survives) you need to know both the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
