Bartholomew Daly

Hi Christine,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone who recognises this Daly family and contacts you to help you further your research.

Church records are still mostly held locally however, as opposed to having a central repository so it will be difficult to find his place of birth using these. There are some places where you can search online, however it may be difficult to discern whether the results are relevant to your family or not without more information:

www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.

http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However so far only Catholic records from the Diocese of Cork and Ross have been uploaded. This Diocese incorporates Cork City and some parts of Cork county.

Do you know his father?s name? if you do, you could try searching for him in the Tithe Applotment Books. Theses are earlier land records dating 1823-38 and may help you narrow down some parishes of origin. Here is the link:

Thanks very much for that - plenty to keep me going.

Cheers, Christine

I was in the registry of deeds today, and found a deed concerning my ggg grandfather, Markham McCarthy had purchased a plot in Princes St in 1832. Apparently it included houses 37, 38, 39 Princes street and it was bounded on the North by the dwelling house of Bartholomew Daly. Nothing else about Bartholomew, I am afraid, but the propertyu is described that way again in 1842, which suggests that he was still there.

I was interested in the name as I am also a Daly

All the best,

Charlie
