I am looking for a birth record for Michael Joseph Leonard, born 1st May 1904, apparently in Ballinasloe.
This is the only information I have, I do not know if he had any siblings or who is parents were. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Maureen
There are 4 birth/baptism records of Michael Leonard in Galway around 1904 but none in 1904.
However they are all from West Galway & Ballinasloe is in the East

I extended the search to 1904 + - 10 years and got some more which are from the East but none from Ballinasloe!

I did find a link to East Galway Family History Society so if you don't have any luck here you might want to try them.

You might like to look at the Irish Censuses of 1901 & 1911 which are free on line
There are 375 Leonards in Galway in the 1901 including 6 from Ballinasloe but no Michael (not born yet?)
There are 4 Leonards in Ballinasloe in 1911 but no Michael Joseph!
