My grand mother Susan (Suzanna) O'leary was born in Cork 17 march 1878 to Cornelius and Margaret  (Crowley) O'leary. I'm searching for any information on the families. jjb

  • I think the record you have may be an extracted record from FamilySearch, these only show some of the details of the registers, and the place of birth shown can be a district or even county rather than the proper location. The BMD Index is showing Susan's birth in Kinsale district, so Co. Cork and to the south of Cork City. The matching Index details are as follows in case you wish to order a research cert from the GRO :

    Name : Susan O'Leary
    Event Type : Birth
    Quarter and Year : Jan - Mar 1878
    Registration District : Kinsale
    Volume 5 / Page 403

    The reference numbers on the extracted records can often be used to cross-match to the Index, as they can include a page and/or volume number - the v 5 / p 403 in this case - see the extracted record here. A research cert, which is a copy from the register, would show place of birth, usual place of residence which can be different, father's occupation etc

  • There's an RC baptism for Susan on the free IrishGenealogy website - see : here
    (you may have to enter a captcha security code to access the link)

    The date of birth and parent's names match that civil birth. There's no townland or address mentioned, but the parish is Clontead is is just east of Kinsale town and parish.
