I believe they are my ancestors who moved to Marylebone London. But there seem to be a couple of other James born around that time. I have traced my UK ancestors back to James born around 1826 from Tipperary and have obtained birth certificates of the children with mother as Powell born in Limerick and their children all born around the Strand London. Any help at all would be very grateful , to confirm if I have the right James from Greystown Killenaule his parents I believe where Thomas and Catherine Spencer. Thank you ! Amanda

The subscription site Roots Ireland does have a transcription of a May 7 1826 baptismal record for a James Croke from Graystown baptized in Killenaule with parents Thomas Croke and Catherine Spencer. I did not find any other record for James. This James had two older brothers Thomas 1821 and Richard 1823.
I did see his father Thomas listed in the 1850 Griffiths Valuation living in Greystown.

Thank you so much Roger for the reply the brother Richard info is very helpful. There is a lady I have been talking to on a site who says this James May 7th 1826 went to America and there was a will for another of his relatives in Australia and mentioned a Richard ! so perhaps that is not the right one for me. I have seen another possibility for her James though James Croke Tipperary May 5th 1825 married to Catherine Perdue. It looks as if he died in 1902 in San Fransisco but where I am looking I can not find a Richard.
But there is another James I can see Dec 1826 also Tipperary with mother as Honora Leahy father as Thomas 14 Nov 1779 Greystown. It looks possible he had a brother Richard. I can not find anything on where this James went.
Any help in confirming any of that or anyone else's thoughts would be hugely grateful I do think mine is one possibly one of these 3

I could not find the December 1826 baptism that you mentioned. There is a December 28 1828 baptismal record for a James Croke in Killenaule. Father was Thomas Croke and mother was Mary Kelly. They lived in Kilbrannel. There were no other baptismal records for siblings.

Hello Roger that's strange there should be one Dec 1826 Ballingarry mother is either Honora Leahy or Catherine Perdue another 1825 possibly Catherine Perdue as I have seen these on Ancestory Websites connected to other peoples tress and I think there are baptism certificates but seem conflicting with which mother is for which.
