Hello

My husband's Dad was born, we think, in Cork circa 1925. We know he had a brother called Martin who was in the Navy.
James moved to England and married my husband's Mum. They divorced when my husband was 3 years old but he was told his Dad was dead rather than divorced.
We have no info or photograph of him except that on his marriage certificate his father was also called James and was a journeyman.

We tried ringing Dublin to obtain a birth certificate but our info was too vague to trace. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks
Anne
