Did you follow the links to the website at https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ ?

However, I'm sure @Áine Ní Donnghaile is far better qualified to deal with such queries (regarding Irish records)!

Thanks, @Paul W Just waking up here, but taking a look.

@Shelley1560 That index is to a civil birth registration rather than a baptism. The title of that collection is somewhat misleading.

Bunmahon is a town in Kilmacthomas registration district, County Waterford.

The birth registration for Anne, daughter of Martin Carroll and Honora Power, can be seen here. You may have to solve a captcha to view it, but the website is completely free.

For background - I didn't remember offhand the District for Bunmahon, so I had to look it up. There were a large number of girls named Anne Carroll born in 1872, and I needed to narrow down the results on irishgenealogy.ie.

An excellent resource for registration district search is https://www.swilson.info/regdistmap.php I only had to enter "Waterford" to see a short list of the districts, and found Bunmahon easily in Kilmacthomas district.

Addendum -

That record is an amended certification. You can tell because there is just that single record on the short page. I was curious to see what the original register page showed. You can see the original record here, Record 503.

You are amazing. Thank you! I so appreciate your help. Do you know if there is a way to get a certified copy of this record. My dad has decided at 85 years old he wants his Irish Citizenship and we are headed to Ireland in July and I can’t wait to travel to Bunmahon.
