  • Dear Marie

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the long delay in getting back to you.

    As civil registration for births did not begin in Ireland until 1864 there will be no birth record for George. I couldn't find a baptism for a George between 1820 and 1830 in Mayo either. It would be a good idea to keep an eye on the Early Birth and Marriage Index as it is updated regularly. If your ancestor does not appear now they may in the future. 

    I wanted to invite you to add your ancestor's details to our XO Chronicles. You can learn more about it HERE and it might be another avenue to consider so that your ancestor's details can be seen by others. 

    Best wishes
