Comer / Comber / Nolan family in Sligo

Gary:

I looked at the subscription site Roots Ireland and there are three 1835 baptismal records in Co. Galway for a Michael Comer/Comber including the one listed in your message. There are also other Michael Comer/Comber baptismal records in the 1830s in Galway and also Co. Mayo but no Sligo records.

From looking at Griffiths Valuation data from the mid-1850s, Comer and Comber were mainly a Galway/Mayo and the surname was very rare in Co. Sligo.

I can't tell from your message whether you already knew that Michael's parents were Martin Comer and Mary Nolan or you just located the record and were hoping it was for your ancestor? Can you clarify? Thanks!

Gary,

New Inn is in the Diocese of Clonfert in County Galway. Bullaun is a village in the parish of New Inn and the Bullaun records are under New Inn. It seems that your uncle was right!

Best wishes, Kieran

Hi Roger,

Thank you for your response.

I have a written record that shows Martin & Bridget as Michael's parents with a baptism in 1835 Clonfert, New inn.

Apologies Roger, only half of my message was posted.

Thank you for the information you provided. Iwill now focus my attention on Galway.

Kind regards

Gary
