Hi if you know what Samuel Glass' father name and occupation is you could look on the 1911 census for Ireland.

Some of the Mormon Family History Centres also have the Irish BMD Indexes. I'll nudge up my thread on this in case there's one near you.

I've had a look at the family search pilot record search and there's a Samuel Glass born September quarter 1919 in Belfast.
And on the ancestryireland site theres an entry for A Samuel Glass fathers name Samuel born 1919 County Antrim which might be the same one.

Hello Sally

Although you can find a lot of information using online resources, indexes etc at the end of the day you can only prove that your assumptions are correct by having certificates. You don't need every single one, but certain ones are essential. So your grandparents' marriage is one of those - we can "assume" that his father is Samuel, but we can't be sure.

You can order certificates from the General Register Office (GRO) or from a local register office (Camberwell in this case). They currently cost £7 but as said, the price is increasing next month. Do not buy them from any other place, they charge a lot more.

Some of the London events are available on Ancestry - this applies to Annie's marriage to Annie Walker.

It sounds like you have a lot to learn about this fascinating hobby - people here will help you out, but I'd suggest you find a good book on the subject - it needs to be up to date cos resources are changing all the time.

Good luck

Margaret
