New starter... Michael Joseph Howlett 1905 - 1958
« on: Wednesday 09 May 18 18:29 BST (UK) »
Hello. Having impressed my friend with my english family history finds, I assured her I could easily find information about her grandparents who she never knew. However this has thrown me into the new field of Irish genealogy which I realise is a totally different story.

Her father Michael Joseph Howlett 1905 - 1958 was born in Wexford and went to the University of Dublin to study medicine in 1924. Her mother Dorothy wright was born in 1909 Laois.

Can you help me by suggesting ways to research their parents, siblings and their history in Ireland. I would like to get the birth certificate but web sites suggest it costs e40! is that right - are there cheeper ways?

any help and guidance would be very much appreciated and I am looking forward to starting this whole new areas of learning!

Hi,

You could start by looking them up on the Irish census (1911/1901)

First of all, if you are looking for Civil Registrations in Wexford you have to know the various District Offices

Baltinglass
Naas
Rathdown
Rathnew
Shillelagh

Then go to   https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp and just hit Search, which will get you all Ireland.

From there check those in the above Districts from list on left.

You are looking for Michael BUT as the book index was used you get some who were only entered by Surname in the Index  but entered full on the Cert.

in 1930 Michael Joseph Howlett is recorded in the Medical Directories as living in Shielbaggan, Arthurstown, Waterford.
