Kilcullen

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried looking for Elizabeth?s birth certificate in Kilcullen parish? Most parish records are still held locally so it may be an idea to write to the parish priest for assistance.

If the family were Catholic, 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 Kilcullen parish follow this link:

For more information on Church of Ireland records check 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

Do you know when she immigrated to England? If she was still in Ireland in 1901/1911 you may be able to find her, or even some of her family, in the 1901/1911 census records. You can search these online here:
