Stanton family Cork Ireland

[jaro]

Hi Does anyone have any info on the parents Micheal Stanton born 1877
in Cork.  Regards Jaro.

the place to start would be with a marriage cert for Michael to establish his father's name and occupation.

Do you have any idea what part of Co. Cork your Stanton family lived ?

  Introduction to Irish Records
  My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?

The problem is that there are a number of possible births, so additional details like father's name, occupation and location could help narrow down 'your' Michael.

The surname is sometimes spelt 'Staunton'

I'd also allow a few years either way for his year of birth - sources of age are not always 100% accurate...

see : Michael Stanton births - 1875-1879   (Irish BMD Index)

The registration districts which cover Co. Cork are : Bandon, Bantry,
   Castletown, Clonakilty, Cork (city), Dunmanway, Fermoy,
   Kanturk*, Killmallock*, Kinsale, Lismore*, Macroom, Mallow,
   Middleton, Millstreet, Mitchelstown, Skibbereen, Skull & Youghal*

(the ones with * also cover parts of other counties)

many births from this time are available in some more detail in the extracted collection of familysearch. These give more detail, such as both parents names, but dont show exact place of birth, father's occupation etc.
