FamilySearch's index to the Irish civil registers. An index only — names, dates, registration district and parents, not the register image. Its 'birth' date field is not always the date of birth: late registration was common and the indexed date can be the date of registration, which is why a baptism can appear to precede it. Individual records are addressed as https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:<ark>. Read signed in, in a browser. The register images themselves are at irishgenealogy.ie (source 1318).

For Margaret Sullivan (1868–1946)

Margaret Sullivan | Ireland, Civil Registration, 1845-1913 | Birth 1 December 1868 | Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland | Parents Michael Sullivan, Julia Collins Sullivan

The FamilySearch results-list row, quoted field by field. This is where Margaret was born — the answer to three Australian negatives: no NSW birth to a Michael and Julia Sullivan 1864-74, no Queensland birth, no Victorian birth. The parents are the Michael Sullivan and Julia Collins of the Caheragh baptisms, and Collins is the maiden name her mother's own 1927 NSW death registration gives. HER BIRTH IS ENTERED AS 1868 ONLY, not as 1 December: her Catholic baptism was on 31 October 1868 and a baptism cannot precede a birth, so the indexed December date is almost certainly the date of registration. Her age of 77 at death in January 1946 agrees with 1868.

For Johanna Sullivan (1866–1941)

Johanna Sullivan | Civil Registration | Birth 22 September 1866 | Skibbereen

The FamilySearch results-list row, quoted field by field, indexed to Michael Sullivan and Julia Collins. Her Caheragh baptism the following day, 23 September 1866, is indexed separately in the Catholic parish registers — a one-day interval, which is what makes the 31 October baptism and 1 December civil date of her sister Margaret two years later look like a registration date rather than a birth date. Third of the five daughters.
