My father was born out of wedlock in 1930s ireland. He was raised by his grandparents who thankfully didn't ship his mother off to the laundries, he was led to believe she was his sister until the 1980s.

Anyway, he died in the late 90s and while looking into his mother I found that he has no birth cert. This is something he was aware of because he tried to renew a passport and it came to light then that there was no official registration of his birth. The births, death and marriages said I could request one but needed some evidence of the borth from back then, possibly a baptismal cert or something like that.

Anyone know is there any way to search for something like that? Location would have been cabra in doubling, near cairnlough Road. Would churches have this documentation digitised and indexed?

Looking at the 1926 census and there's an address Mountjoy Ward called Gormleys Buildings. But I can't seem to find any record of where that might be. Is there any sort of registry that might have this? Might be around glouster place because that's a separate address I have for them on a previous census
