Liz got some info a few years ago that I hadn't really looked at, anything to do with my parents doesn't sit well but I was just going through it, and although I thought he was from Castlewellan and might still be, one record shows him registered at Kilkeel, not too far from Castlewellan, and also my mother had been married before, I had her maiden names as Candlish, then Keogh, but a Howard leapt in there somewhere.

Strange things go on down that part, it may take some time, took me almost 60 years to find my dads side of the family and brothers and sisters I never knew I had, my g parents never told me anything, nor did my mum, too much religion and all swept under the carpet.:censored:
 
you do dig up some interesting stuff delving back into the family history , i had a scottish great grandmother who her mum after remarrying shipped over to ireland because “ her new husband liked the girl too much “ my grandparents both worked at malahide castle footman & ladies maid left service had two children in malahide one died when her nightie caught fire so they moved over to durham to work in the mines my grandad left in dublin for his grandparents to raise ,

when over in ireland couple of years ago i had an interesting drunken conversation with a cousin over who was most irish of us! my dad born in ireland fathered me in england his dad born in england fathered him in Ireland ?
 
I've managed to find death info on my dad and his brother but no birth info, I'll ring the registry tomorrow and see if I can move on a bit.
 
Got my Irish passport in June this year. Fortunately Dad had all bar one doc needed. He had photocopy of the missing one, so easy to order a replacement.
I applied to register my birth in Sep 2019. Got birth registration in February this year. So with demand and Covid, it wasn't a quick process. And dad and I were without our birth and marriage certs all that time. But worth the wait.
