Help finding a birth or babtism cert
« on: Sunday 07 April 24 20:51 BST (UK) »
Hi,  I have been searching for a Patrick  Horkan born around 1880ish, I have him on the 1911 census living in Mayo Strade Grallagh with his family . His dad is shown to be David but no mother.
Any help would be great.

You can search for his birth here-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

If he was Catholic then might be in R.C. parish register if you are looking for a baptism-

For reference here's the census record you found- it's Grallagh (townland), Strade (D.E.D.) not Strade Grallagh-

Same family in 1901- David's wife is Ellen-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
