Hi Andy,

Thanks for getting back to me.

No, no relation to Larry-that I know of anyways!

Most Catholic records are still held locally so you could try writing to the local parish priest for some possible assistance. Here is a link to the parish contact:

Another useful website is the Irish Times as they show you what Catholic records are available for specific parishes, luckily Tullow parish records start very early:

Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so any births, deaths or marriages in the family after this date would be recorded in these records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these records up to 1958 online at:

With regards to school records most of these are still held either by local schools or the local church so you should also contact them about this. The National Archives have some school records, unfortunately none from Tullow. To see what they do have follow this link:

Emma Thank you for your time and replies.

I have used most or all of the sites you have published, all to no avail I have also used family trees of those related to Margaret also to no avail.

Some one has information but it seems are not willing to share it, this woman my grandmother is the only missing link in my family tree going back to early 1700s on all sides.

I care not about skeletons of the past I am not here to judge I have no right  as I did not live in those times.
