Looking for birth record for Andrew Glannon born about 1817. Glannon family lived in Cooke's Lane (now part of Guinness complex) and Watling Street. Andrew's parents believed to be Thomas and Elizabeth Glannon ( nee Reilly or O'Reilly).
Glannon family intermarried with Murphy family of Watling Street. James Hanover Murphy believed to have married Andrew Glannon's sister.
Andrew Glannon's brother Thomas Glannon married Maria Rebecca Murphy and had a daughter Rebecca
Josephine Glannon 20/5/1841.
When Andrew Glannon arrived in Australia 1837 as a convict, records indicate he left behind a wife and child in Dublin. Have searched for this marriage which must have taken place sometime between c1817 and 1837 but have not found it.
Any information would be appreciated.

Hi
Most Catholic records are held locally - One site which might be of use is - http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/ - where you can ?browse? an overview of available records per county. If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for possible assistance.
For an overview of known copies of rigisters from Dublin city please see : http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseact…
Church of Ireland parish registers for the period up to 1870-are public records. Registers are available for about one third of the parishes, however many were destroyed in the Public Records Office in Dublin in 1922. Most are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. A list of all surviving registers is available in the National Archives. http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. The Anglican Record Project is has created an index to their records: http://ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/bunclodyunionindex.pdf
Civil registration records only date from 1864 from the General Register Office (GRO). You can access the website here: http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm
