Find Ancestors

Hello!

I am trying to find birth records for a George Gerald Galbraith who was born in 1924 in Belfast I believe. He was married to Veronique M Kelly. I am doing this for my mother in law so I currently don't have any birth certificates etc. We believe his mother was Teresa Toner but she doesn't know who his father was. I am struggling to find birth records for anyone! George had 6 or 7 siblings I think. I have been told they were all born in Belfast and then the whole family moved to Birmingham.

I don't know why I can't find any records.

Yes! I remember her saying he had an accident. I think that is him!

Can anyone see anything for Veronique? I think she was born in Birmingham but my husband seems to think she was from Rosscommon in Ireland?

Is this her......

If you don't know Veronique's father's name you can get it from her marriage cert:


Marriages Jun 1949 (>99%)

GALBRAITH George G Kelly Birmingham 9c 1313
Kelly Veronique M Galbraith Birmingham 9c 1313

Then you could look for his marriage on this site:

Zoe, if you go to the site I posted, and search for the marriage that Andrew has posted, you can see an image of the marriage entry, with fathers' details, etc.

As well as seeing the image of the marriage, you can see the image of Teresa's birth registration.

Didn't realise this facility was available again. You can search the Irish indexes for births over 100 years, marriages over 75 years and view the original entries. This was available on the site a while ago but the facility was withdrawn because of worries over privacy but those must have been resolved.

Thanks Potty- that's great!

Marriage is on there-

Church of St Pauls, Union of Belfast, County Antrim
4th April 1920

James Galbraith, bachelor, full age, labourer, address 36 West Street, Father- Francis Galbraith

Teresa Toner, spinster, full age, address 12 Kashmir Road, father- James Toner

Austin, I was going to let Zoe find it herself!

That site can also be used for Northern Ireland BDMs up until 1920.

Sorry Potty :-(
