I ahve tried several avenues to trace the birth certificate of my G/Dad born 1850 in Ireland.His Dad was a boatman/coastguard serving from Portacloy. Could his birth have been registered with the coastguard body in england? as anyone any ideas as to how I can find out. thank you  fredahamuli |

Civil birth certificate officially started in Ireland around 1850s but actual recording births was patchy until about 1870s so you need to look at Church records or possibly national school records (most do not exist for this time period). If the CG had a family sometmes they lived in rented accomodation and so the father may have an entry in Griffiths Valuation which was started in 1846. This may help in identifying probable church and school location. Most church records can be search in rootsireland.ie. AFAICT you have not written his surname unless it is Vincent. |
