While many people assume that all Irish records have been lost or destroyed, that is just not the case. From the point of view of genealogy, the most significant losses from the 1922 Ireland Public Record Office fire were the 19th-century census returns, the Church of Ireland parish registers, and the testamentary collections. Other records not maintained in the PRO have survived, however, including civil records of births, marriages, and deaths, non Church of Ireland parish records, property records, and later censuses. |

Civil registration of BMDs began in Ireland 1865 - actually, it began abt 20y earlier for some marrs - I don't think I ever knew precisely what "some" meant - it included C of I marrs, and excluded RC marrs, but I don't know abt other protestant marrs, and jewish, etc. marrs. |
