Anyone else having difficulty with Dublin marriage records for 1950? Every record I’ve clicked in the index so far comes up with Not Found.

Not working correctly for me, put in Dublin, Dublin North or Dublin South and it insists on giving all of County Dublin districts.

Choosing Dublin from the list at the side doesn't help. I've hear of this happening with other places as well.

Maybe a typo. I have my grandmother's birth cert. I looked it up - no record online. Tried several times to no avail. I entered first name only and date of birth, location & got the record. The surname had been transcribed incorrectly. I corrected the record, checked there just now, record hasn't been corrected yet and that was some time ago.

I did this for my grandmother and it wasn’t corrected and a nearly a year ago.

Morning, I was reading WDYTYA magazine April edition last evening. According to an article on page 11 re the missing GRO death records, a spokesperson for Dept of Social Protection told the magazine that there is computer system upgrade at the GRO at present. And it is "hoped" to complete the digitisation of the deaths registered from 1864 to 1870 and make the records available "later in 2026". I know it is only a "hope" but maybe good news.

Trying to cross check information on the census and keep getting this message ‘error establishing database connection’. Has anyone else had this or is it just at my end?

That's working for me thanks rhapsody.

I noticed an error as I was finding the deaths of children missing from 1926 census.

Check out the first entry here

4488311.pdf

Male child, 8 months, daughter of a clerk (should read son of a railway checker)

on the page before second from the bottom

4488310.pdf

Female child, 8 years, daughter of a clerk

I'd say it was the 8s the made them lose their place.

When I got the error 'establishing database connection' in Chrome, I copied the URL link, pasted it into Google to speed up the search. I also cross checked the 1901/1911 census for leads. Very satisfying day, with records found that have baffled for years.

There isn't an obligation on any Government to publish any records for free. I'm grateful to sit at home and browse online at any time day or night, instead of coming out crippled with neck and back ache from trawling microfiche in an uncomfortably hard chair in the library.

Are there many deaths that you'd expect to find on irishgenealogy.ie that aren't there?

I found a report in The Morning Mail, September 9th 1879 reporting the death of a James Kavanagh 70yo but I can't find a death record on the site.

Any ideas why this wouldn't be on the site and have you found other deaths that don't appear on the site?

I agree with Hermy - try the GRO. It would be very unusual for a coroner not to register a death (it's part of their work process). I wonder if the age given in the newspaper is correct?

That's the address I've used when enquiring about birth/death certs. Usually get a response on the same day as well.
