Michael & Mary Carey

Sue:

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find any Carey baptismal records in Co. Limerick with father James and mother with a maiden name of Connor/O'Connor.

Castllegarde is a townland in the civil parish of Doon which is near the border with Co. Tipperary. Doon RC parish has baptismal records starting in March 1824. https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0260   Possibly Mary was born in 1823 or earlier and for that reason a record is not available.

The 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing shows a James Carey in Castlegarde so he was alive at that point.

Ellen Carey died in 1883. See fourth record
