    Default Looking for Charles Mahon b.1878 Co. Mayo

    Hello

    I am trying to trace birth details for Charles Mahon born 1878 in County Mayo. He moved to England and married Margaret Ibison in 1905 in Preston Lancs.

    Any info greatfully received

    There is a birth for a Charles Mahon registered in Ballina Oct – Dec 1878 Volume 4, page 10. That’s the only one in Co Mayo around that year. However there’s a death in Ballina in Jan – Mar 1879 Volume 4, page 13, for a child of the same aged 0, so it’s not certain this is the event you are looking for. The 1878 child might not have lived.

    I’d be inclined to get his marriage certificate to get his father’s name and occupation. You could then compare that to the birth cert. You can order copies of birth, death & marriage certs from GRO Roscommon. A photocopy only costs €4. Put the reference details on the form. https://www.groireland.ie/

    You may be able to pick the family up in the 1901 census:
