St. Thomas Dublin Parish Records

[hallmark]

So how do you know your great grandfather was baptised in St. Thomas in 1870?

Hi Hallmark,

It says on his army records where he was baptised plus I have it from family. I would like to see the actual record to ascertain his parents.

If you've got his parents' names and a parish, have you considered that he may have been born in the Rotunda, and as such, may be registered as Unknown Surname?

I had a similar issue with my great grandfather & wrote about it here:

Hello Purpeller,

I have to say the Rotunda never entered my head. Thank you for the tip and I enjoyed the article.

Where can I find the Rotunda birth records? Are they online?

Thanks in advance.

birth records from 1864 onward are on the IrishGenealogy website, try searching  with the just the surname for a couple of years either way from your estimated year of birth, look for unknown firstname births, Rotunda births should be under Dublin North district. You have to view the registers to see exactly where each birth took place.

Glad to be of help.

Hello Athacliath62,

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately his birth record still eludes me. I did just as you suggested, but no luck. I am no sure I will ever find him.

Kindest regards,

What's his name and his parents' names?
I'll have a look too.
