Birth Records
« on: Monday 26 November 18 01:05 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I’m currently researching family that resided in Cork City in the 1800’s. I have not been able to locate any record of my Great-Gramdmothers birth nor her younger sisters, even having tried to order my great-grandmothers birth cert from Ireland! However, what I was sent was potentially an older sister (born 1876) to my great- grandmother and my family already has a record of a potential older sister than that (born 1870). My question is - why would there not be a record of my great- grandmother and her sisters birth of their older sisters were registered? For reference my great- grandmother was born 1879 and her younger sister 1881 (potentially)

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Also, should have mentioned they are Roman Catholic!

Welcome to RootsChat,
A similar question was asked last week about a death cert, once the names were supplied the cert was found within a few minutes.
It's possible the births weren't registered or it's possible you just haven't found them.
Have you got the children's Baptisims?

I haven’t found any baptism record for either of them which seems strange as i’m sure they would have been baptised. But there is nothing that has come up on irishgenealogy.ie or FindMyPast so i’m at a bit of a brick wall. My suspicion is that the births wern’t registered  :-\

We can't even try to help until we know who you are looking for, not all parish records are transcribed, have you looked here https://registers.nli.ie/

Thank you, I’ve just had a look and i’ve found the record for the potential sister born in 1876 in the records of St Patrick’s in the Diocese of Cork and Ross. But no luck when having a look for my great-grandmother in the same doc.

My great- grandmother is Lillian Kenny born 7th Oct 1879. And her sister was Mary born 1881 (according to the 1901 census). Father was John Kenny and I believe the mother was Hannah McAuliffe.

1901 Census
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/North_East_Ward/Centenary_Row__Old_Youghal_Road_/1101645/

I don't have much time to search now but I'll have a go later if someone hasn't found them in the meantime.

Lilian could possibly be Elizabeth.
