Hi Mike,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking for Edward?s birth certificate to find out information on his parents? If his family followed the Church of Ireland you can get information on what records are available at the following links:
http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
If his family were Catholics, you could try writing to the local parish priest for possible assistance as most Catholic records are still held locally. One website which you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Omey/Clifdon parish follow this link:
I hope that this is helpful.
Kind regards,
