    Hi. I have been trying to get birth(baptism)/death records from the early 1900s but can't get much information past the 1911 census because parish records don't seem to be digitized after 1900.
    It's around the 1920s I'm looking for, for ancestors in Co Tipperary.
    Can anyone signpost me?
    Thanks.

    Births will be dribbled out to irishgenealogy.ie year by year, we have 1920 now. We have up to 1970 for deaths and 1945 for marriages though.

    rootsireland.ie has certain parish registers til about then - but its not that common. Generally at that time period you need to contact the parish - and parish death records are really rare/awful.

    Newspaper archives - the Nenagh Guardian on the Irish Newspaper Archives has high coverage of North Tipp (I have no knowledge of if there is a South Tipp equivalent) and covered some births, most marriages and deaths - and graveyard records may help.

    Thanks. The ancestors I am researching might have been born before 1920 hopefully.

    Ancestry.com has birth indexes up to the 1950s - sometimes with mother's surname. Might be worth having a look; if you find a likely record you can contact GRO for a research copy - but you have to pay a fee.

    Those same indices are on familysearch.org for free.

    In fairness, when you say dribbling out, they are constrained to births > 100 years, marriages > 75 and deaths >50 years for data protection reasons. It is not laziness.
