Why do you believe they were born in Ireland?

because i remember my mum saying her granddad was from ireland but did not know any details, no family left to ask im afraid

Well if they are you'd need to contact the Irish authorities, but not sure they'd be able to trace them unless they had a more specific birthplace than just Ireland.
