Glynis:

There are two 1864 birth index records for a Michael Hopkins in the Castlereagh registration district. One was in Vol. 19 page 132 and the other was Vol. 19 page 139.

I also located a death index record for a Michael Hopkins in 1866 who was born in 1864 also Castlereagh registration district. Possibly this is your Michael. You can get a copy of this record from the General Register Office for around 4 euros. If you plan to get a copy let me know and I will send you instrcutions.

I was not able to find the marriage record for Edward and Winifred.

Below are the instuctions:

Go to this link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx In the middle of the page there are links for birth, marriage or death certificates. Hit the link for the form you want. You will likely get a screen asking for a User Name and Password. (This is a program bug that the GRO has to correct). Hit cancel and the appropriate form should come up. Print the form and complete the requested information. Also provide the information from the index record--quarter/year of the event, registration district and the volume and page number where the event is recorded. Make sure you ask for a copy which costs around 4 euros. ( A cert costs closer to 20 euros). You can also ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you.
