Records - Ireland Births 1865-1902
 

An Index of Irish WEEKES (WEEKS, WAX etc.) Children
Compiled by Dennis Weeks

In 1864 the Irish government began collecting records of the birth of all children.

These records are still available by writing to:

The General Register Office,
Joyce House,
8/11 Lombard St. East,
Dublin 2.
Ireland

Include the volume and page number along with the name and year of birth. The National Archive of Ireland can provide further information at:  

http://www.nationalarchives.ie/birthsmarrdeaths.html

The Index below contains many of those born between 1864 and 1903, with the name Weekes and its variants. You might be surprised by the addition of Wax names. I recently discovered that Weeks is often pronounced as "Wakes" in some Irish dialects. This apparently led to the simplified spelling of Wax.

For those who are interested in the type of information included in an Irish birth record, the typescript below of a typical certificate is as follows:
