Searching for Birth Mother

Brendan David · 29-08-2014 12:41pm #1

Hi,

A Friend of mine is Searching for his Birth Mother. He was born in Holles Street in March 1970 both himself and his mother stayed in Dunboyne House in 69, 70 and 71.
The line of enquiry we are following has come up with a Name Anne Kent. If any one has any information please let me know.

Thanks xxx

Hi Brendan,

As goat2 says Kent is an uncommon surname so that might make your search a little bit easier.

Has your friend located his original birth cert yet?
Also, have you tried looking for a marriage cert for an Anne Kent?
If she did marry then you may be able to locate birth certs for any children she may have had?

Maybe none of the above is applicable in your friends case but it's worth checking every possible avenue.

If it's any help there are a number of Kent families in Waterford.

I also knew a Kent lady from Killeagh in Cork. She would only be 50 now though.

at that rate if a person is fifty now, in 1970 they were 14 when they had the baby,
but then again this could be,

I was thinking that maybe she had other family down there (cousins etc.)

If you can't get to the GRO you can send off order form and a cheque to the GRO in Roscommon for a copy cert to be emailed to you. These cost €4 each and they will email them to you in about 5 working days. You get the form here https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx
