Looking for Lunney Family Information

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried looking for Mary's siblings in the church records? Most Catholic records are held locally. For Tulleybeg and Collooney, the Roman Catholic parish you should be looking at is Ballysadore. You can get an overview of what records are available in Ballysadore at the following link:

For Church of Ireland Records, check:

Catholic and Church of Ireland records are currently being uploaded free of charge to www.irishgenealogy.ie/index.html However, this is an ongoing project so not all records are available yet.

You could also do a search in the 1901 and 1911 census records, if you haven't already done so. Here is the link: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

Some other websites which may help are:

The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/

The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx
