Finding records

    Back story is my grandfather was born to a woman who had an affair with a married man. My great grandmother didn’t know he was married & when she told him she was pregnant, he quickly vanished.

    My nanny doesn’t know his name or surname, just that he was a barber in wexford in 1926/1927. I don’t necessarily want to meet his family, but I would like to at least know what he looked like.

    Is there any way of finding this information?

    There are directories. Here's one for 1931.

    How you would pick your guy out, I don't know.

    The 1925 census would show the ages and marital status of people should you find possibles, but it won't be out for a while.
