longer than that for me, but i can still hear 'the old fenian gun' when i think about the place

Did you ever go to KK McCool's in South Tottenham. Very much a Donegal and Trinidad pub, where the old Trinidadian men would mutter to each other about the young locals, "Man it is not like back in Donegal".

It's nearly 25 years since I was there.

If you can forget it, you were never in it for long

That's the problem, can't confirm where he was born. There are no living relatives to provide further details. The info I do have on him has not enabled the authorities to find anything.

A local genealogist was useless. Just took the research I'd done and repeated it back at me.

Typical contractor.

You don't need to find it. If you know his date of birth and place of birth you can apply for it online most likely or call the local registration office if not. There should be a process to get a replacement.

I couldn't find my granddad's birth certificate. No-one can find it, it seems.

nope.

For once you're right. It is beyond your limited mental capabilities to figure this out.

But you're still a pathetic ALM. Go figure.
