Terence O'Brien - Townland of Ballyallia 1827

Hi,

Thank you for your message. I hope that somone who recognises the family makes a connection with you.

Have you tried searching in the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were any family members still in the area at the time?  You can search these here:

It may also be an idea to have a look at Irish Civil registrarion records to see if you can find any births/marriages relating to the family. Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864, the records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their webiste:

I hope this is helpful. Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

Kind regards,
