My Great Grandfather John Francis Higgins was born June 24, 1862 in Mantua, Castlerea Co. Roscommon
Where can I obtain a copy of his birth record ? or land records ? Any help would be appreciated.

That townland is in the civil parish of Kilcolagh. The Roman Catholic Parish is Killukin. You can write to:

Parish Priest
Croghan
Boyle
Co. Roscommon

That parish has birth records back to 1811.

Follow-up: You have hard information. Birth certificates are at Office of the Registrar, Joyce House, 8-11 Lombard St. East, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Civil Birth Certificates from the General Register Office are not available for births prior to 1864.

For earlier births, you must contact the parish for baptismal records.
