    I just cannot make it out.

    Thank you.
    I've never come across that before.

    You're very kind but it could be wrong! It's a guess to get it started anyway.

    I only noticed after posting that the second entry on the page seems to be for a twin of the first?

    Hi,
    Record No. 362, I am wondering what the cause of death for William McGrath? Acute ....... Thanks.

    Can anyone read the age of the deceased on this death record from irishgenealogy.ie? Their transcription says 69 but it looks more like 89 to me. But frankly it doesn't really look like either 6 or 8, especially comparing it with the 8 in the 1872 date handwritten on far left and far right of record. Thanks.

    Gosh what dreadful writing.
    Acute something. Could be an M at the start, but I think it's an N.
    Could the next line be Sudden paralysis?

    Thanks for that, Hermy. But if it's 8, it looks so different from the other two 8's on the record. And it matters as there are several of the name.

    I agree, it does look different but I've often seen 8 written like that before.

    Agree on the 8, sometimes they are even what looks to us like sideways.

    Agree that the writing is very difficult to read, I can't even decipher the Registrar's own name. Sudden paralysis looks about right. William's age was a bit awry but has a correction on the margin! Many thanks.

    This is a much more recent one compared to many put up here, but would someone be so kind as to decipher what is written in brackets after "Uimh 4"?

    The birth was registered as the National Maternity Hospital.

    Thanks in advance!

    Given the bit on front of the brackets is Irish "Uimh 4", we could assume the bit between the brackets is also in Irish?

    AFAIK Holles Street is District Number 4 in South Dublin on certs in English, so it should be something like that.

    Just a Guess...

    "Deas" = "South"


    Seeing more of the page might help with handwriting.

    This is another example of why more of the original page needs to be seen, not, in this case, for writing comparison, as it's legible enough, but context. The word in question appears to be 'Deis' but is that short for 'deisceart' as referred to above? What are the places named on individual birth entries and what range of area do they cover??

    Apologies, I was not aware of the need to post the full page, I should have checked this out on the forum.

    The birth cert is my own birth cert which I need to get translated and for this reason, I do not feel comfortable posting it in its entirety. The phrase in the image is repeated again further down in the birth cert and appears almost identical.

    Thanks to all for your assistance, Deis as an abbreviation of Deisceart would appear to be the most logical answer.

    I'd appreciate any help with interpreting this baptism entry and could it refer to twins?

    I read it as 'Dec 6th. Fanny & ???? Dan Carty & Margaret Delany'.

    Here's the link to the original image.

    Thanks

    If it was, there should be two pairs of sponsors.
