FITZPATRICKS of Waterford, Ireland

I'm trying to find my grandad's siblings from Waterford, Ireland.

I believe their names to be as follows:

William (1930 - 1995) - FOUND
Anastasia (b. 1931)
Patrick (b. 1933)
Joseph (b. 1935)
Esther (b. 1936)
Margaret Mary (b. 1937)
Michael (b. 1938)
Daniel (b. 1939)
Kevin (potentially Kenneth) (b. 1941)
Ellen (potentially Helen) (b. 1943)
Thomas (b. 1944) - FOUND
Catherine (b. 1949)
Anne (b. 1950)

They were all born in Waterford, Ireland to William Fitzpatrick and Hannah Fitzpatrick nee Dowling. Their mother passed away in 1950 and all children either went to work, to industrial schools or were adopted.

If anyone has any information on this family it would be greatly appreciated, they've been lost to us for almost 70 years!

Thanks Shirley. Managed to find some of these before (but not Anastasia's marriage, so that's something to look into).

Would I have to write to the GRO in Ireland to access these certificates?

It seems you can order on-line
http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/bdm/Certificates/

There has been dicussions that historical certificates can be purchased at a lower cost as they can't be used for identification purposes. Not sure how or where you can do that.

Do bear in mind that these people may still be living and we need to consider their privacy.

This guide might help you sort out who married who
