Research Help

Hi all,

What year were BMD registered from in Ireland and how  would I go about ordering copies certificates for my Irish ancestors?

I’m also trying to figure out some ancestry DNA connections that appear to be connected through my Murray line.
If anyone can offer help/guidance I’d very much appreciate it as I always hit a road block when researching my Irish ancestors.

This is what I know:

Sabina Murray, born about 1820 in Ireland. She married Thomas Mullins in Dunmore, Co. Galway in 1836.

They had 3 children born in Ireland: John baptised 1837, Thomas baptised 1840, and Mary baptised 1843. The address on the baptism records is Darrary.

Sponsors on the baptisms etc were: John Mullen, Mary Mullen, Andrew Murray, Sarah Murray, Dominic Mullen, Margaret Molarky, Daniel Mullin, Margaret Gannon/Cannon.

Several DNA matches have the surname Mullarkey and Murray but I can’t find a common ancestor to connect everyone together.

There is a baptism for a Thomas Connelly in Darrary in 1844, parents Sarah Murray and Thomas Connelly. Sponsor Sabina Murray. I believe Sabina and Sarah were sisters but can’t find any documentation to prove it.

I’m stuck on what to do next and wondered if anyone could help me?

Thank you 🙏🏻

Most certs for the island of Ireland are free
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
Things change when you get 1922 but that won't affect Galway research.
There are of course limits due to data protection but that affects the more recent certs.
Deaths from 1864 to 1870 aren't online yet.
The links on the side of the page will tell you what is available.

I think the records you are looking for will all predate Civil Registration
and you will need to rely on church records.

What year were BMD registered from in Ireland ...

From 1845 for non Catholic marriages, from 1864 for everything else (Catholic marriages, births and deaths).

They were Catholic and you can see which Dunmore registers survive here:

If they are the family in Staffordshire then Sarah/Sally was also born in Ireland.  There is a gap in the baptism registers from March 1846 to December 1847.
