I have the BC now and it gives both parents names, bonus, so my research can continue. Thankyou all again for your time and help.

Hi all. Just an update. I was contacted today for payment to be made for the birth certificate. All paid for and I should receive the image via email within 10 days.

Thank you all again for your time and help.

Hello, yes I understand the bit about the father's name of course but to have the mother's name would be helpful in my research. I have researched family way back to the 1600's and spend a lot of time building trees for people and also helping them. I'm on a mystery tour with my quest re George Alexander and I'm confident that the mystery will be solved no matter how long it takes me.

Thank you in any event for your input.

Regards,

Kathryn

Even if you could get the birth certificate ( bearing in mind the 100 year rule mentioned by Erica) it would give you the mothers name but may not give you the fathers name. Which would leave you still not able to prove the story.

Sorry, I know who the mother is of my grandfather. It's the mother of George Alexander Bryant that I wish to find out and I believe that my grandfather George Richard Bryant is his father. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear in my previous post.

I’m confused, why would knowing the mother of George Richard Bryant help you find the mother of his child?

Surely it would be unusual for the illegitimate child to have the Bryant surname, unless there was a later marriage. Which would mean you would know her name :-S

Kathryn Report 17 Feb 2024 19:45

Hello all. Thank you again for all your time and input. I believe my grandfather George Richard Bryant was the father following a liaison with a young lady but have no idea who she is. I know it's a long shot but was hoping that the birth cert would at least reveal who his mother was. My grandfather would have still been married at that time. So if this is definitely the case re my grandfather then this George Alexander Bryant would be a half brother to my father George Ernest Bryant. I've not heard anything as yet apart from them acknowledging the application form and more details that I gave them in my accompanying email.

Kind regards,

Kathryn

Kathryn, Do you have an idea who the parents maybe? Only marriages in Dublin South from 1911-1925 are for Clarence Bryant a soldier and Bridget Carroll in 1916 and William Barrett and Elizabeth Killeen in 1914.

Hiya, I've sent an application form off now with as much detail as I can albeit not the parents details. I've explained all in the email attaching the form and will wait to see what happens.

Will keep you updated.

Thanks all for your help and time.

I've just noticed that site says,

"Certificates are available for births registered in the:

Republic of Ireland from 1 January 1864 to present"

So apart from the parent's names problem, it seems you should be able to get one.

Will do, thank you ArgyllGran.

If you knew the parents' names, you would be able to order the cert online here:

https://www2.hse.ie/services/births-deaths-and-marriages/order/birth-certificate/

However, that site also has a "Complaints/feedback" page;
https://www2.hse.ie/complaints-feedback/

Even though your query isn't either a complaint or a feedback, you could ask your question.
With the 100 year rule, you might have to wait until 2025 or 2026 to apply for the cert.
Of course, you still wouldn't know the parents' names - but no harm in asking them if there's any way to obtain the cert.

Contact irishgenealogy.ie as I suggested, ( mentioned by Erika earlier)bearing in mind what Erika said about the 100 year rule.
