    Hi this is my first post here, I've managed to get back on my grandfathers side partly to 1845/1848, but I'm so stuck on my grandmother, I've found her birth record but cannot find anything on her father or mother anywhere I've searched to be honest :( long story short the neighbor raised my granny as her own and the story was that her mother wasn't married and her father was a soldier (this part I know is true)

    anyway would anyone be able to help me look for my great grandfather or where to start? I've tried all the genealogy sites I can think of at this stage.

    I've attached a copy of the register from dublin.

    I did have a findmypast subscriptions do you think another one would help?

    Have you tried locating a service record for her father Albert who appears to be a soldier in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers according to Agnes's birth record.

    Definitely do what Hermy says, but I'd go straight for a DNA test with Ancestry. He may have had other children to provide matches.

    I'm not sure you have enough to go on to identify the right Albert Nolan.

    Perhaps try the parish your grandmother married in and ask what is recorded about her parents.
