Also check www.irishgenealogy.ie/index.html Catholic and Church of Ireland records are currently being uploaded here. However, as this is an ongoing project not all records are available yet.

Do you know much about his emigration? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure. If you knew where he arrived it may be a place to find more information. For immigration information in Canada check the National Archives and Library of Canada here: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html

Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

Hi,

I am related to a Felix Carroll of Rossinure More that died 1887. I am not aware of any of the family emigrating in 1830's. There are some that I know of that emigrated to Canada in the 1900's.
