    I know that a lot of us here like a good challenge when someone comes along looking for help so I thought I'd point you in the direction of another source of Genealogy puzzles over on Reddit.com

    Here's one that popped up today :

    http://www.reddit.com/r/Genealogy/comments/1dn8ek/hit_a_wall_trying_to_locate_grandfathers_irish/

    Person trying to get a birth-cert for his grandfather, Thomas Moore, born in Cahir/Ardfinnan Co. Tipperary in or around 1908. He has him in 1911 census but unable to find anything else.

    Thought it might test a few of the regulars here :)

    Registration district for Ardfinnan is Clogheen - but just one Moore birth in the district between 1901 and 1911 :
    Name: Alastair Moore
    Event Type: Birth
    Quarter and Year: Oct - Dec 1908
    Registration District: Clogheen
    Volume 4 / Page 454

    since he was born before marriage mentioned he might be this birth ...
    Name: Thomas Murphy
    Event Type: Birth
    Quarter and Year: Jul - Sep 1908
    Registration District: Clogheen
    Volume 4 / Page 462

    shanew, I'm embarrassed to share the same forum as someone with powers such as yourself!

    Your Thomas Murphy has a mother Bridget and father 'unknown' :)

    And just for the record :

    The actual birth cert may have more info but the father 'unknown' could be a strong hint that this is the guy.

    actually thought more Thomas Murphy births were going to show up in the district, so a bit of a lucky break with that ...

    Some photos of Clogheen workhouse here, also mentions that some records for the workhouse are held in Thurles.
