I am seeking information about the Gilbride family that lived in Templemore parish Tipperary during the late 1700s and the first 30-50 years of the 1800.  My direct ancestors are William Gilbride and Catharine Whelan who are both natives of Templemore parish and came to America and settled in Brooklyn New York and had a family and died in 1871 (Catharine) and 1889 (William). William May be descended from other Gilbrides I’ve identified as native to Templemore parish who came to New York: John (born in 1803) and Michael (1806) who was a priest and served many parishes in upstate New York fro the 1830’s til his death in Waterloo New York in 1854.  I would like to find out where Father Michael May have been trained in Ireland before coming to America. And any other birth and other details of their lives.  I have found that Michael and John also had three other siblings Daniel (born 1815) William and Catharine and that their parents names were William and Mary Gilbride and that Mary was born in 1773 in Gurtneskeha parish in Tipperary County.

I am also planning to visit Ireland this Year late May-early June and look forward to going to Templemore parish.

Thank you for any assistance and information anyone can provide.
