Searching for British army birth record in Kildare

[Duncan Gunn]

Hi Everyone.

I hope you can help. I'm trying to find my Gran's place of birth and to get a copy birth certificate. She was born on 11.10.1920, Co.Kildare, to a British army NCO, Harry Savage.

Would she have had an Irish birth certificate and, if so, do you know how I can get a copy? I have all her details apart from the precise town or hospital.

Her name is Mary Deru Savage but the only record I can find is Mary Dera Savage. I assume it was a misspelling.

Thank you.

A warm welcome to rootschat .

family search has this GRO reference for the birth register entry

You can send for a €4 research photocopy from Roscommon

If you can wait https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ may have the indexed register entries online for free in early 2021 [hundred year rule]. Or maybe you want an Irish passport as soon as possible  .

ADDED: I presume you have the date of birth she used for her birthday? It's a;ways possible it is a day or so out. If she was in England or Wales at the time, have you found her on the 1939 register?
