More Irish databases have been made available online by Ancestry.
Ancestry.co.uk has recently made available indexes of Roman Catholic baptisms, marriages and burials, as well as putting online at the Ancestry site some databases already available at FamilySearch.
The databases are:
- Roman Catholic parish baptisms 1742-1881;
- Roman Catholic parish marriages and banns 1742-1884;
- Roman Catholic parish deaths 1756-1881;
- Irish births and baptisms 1620-1911;
- Irish civil registration birth index 1864-1958;
- Irish civil registration marriage index 1845-1958;
- Irish civil registration death index 1864-1958.
The civil registration indexes cover all of Ireland up to the end of 1921, but exclude Northern Ireland from 1922 onwards. Only non-Catholic marriages were covered by civil registration before 1864.
