Irish Acres BMD registrations
From Sue Forster:
After several trips to Dublin I have transcribed all the Acres birth, marriage and death index entries at the Irish Register Office. If anyone would like them, please email me at Sue@forster.waitrose.com and I can send them on spreadsheets. This will give you all the information you need to order photocopies of the actual (handwritten) entries in the Register, at the very reasonable price of 6 euros per copy. You can't order them online but you can download an order form from the Irish General Register Office website at www.groireland.ie and then post it to them. Payment is in advance online by credit card (it's worked OK for me so far). Irish records are not yet available online, so this is the only way you can get hold of them, apart from going to Dublin, of course. Dates covered are as follows:
Births: 1864 - 1948
Deaths: 1864 - 1965
Marriages: 1845 - 1950
In each case this is from the start of civil registration (Registration started earlier for Protestant marriages) until the point where I found that Acres entries were vanishingly small in the index.
I am keen to find out more about one of my great-uncles, William Thomas Acres, born 30.10.1870 in Roscrea, Tipperary, a farmer who emigrated to Canada, sailing on the 'Pretoria' on 20.5.1906. The family story is that he started an apple orchard, but I know no more. I would be interested to hear from any of his descendants.
