Ennis/Eiffe of Ballyboughal Bridge

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Do you know what religion Richard and Patrick were?

Most Catholic records are held locally so it may be an idea to write to the parish priest for possible assistance. One website which you may find useful is the Irish Times website where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. Ballyboghill is part of the Roman Catholic parish of Naul. To see what records are available there follow this link:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Dublin&CityCounty=Dublin&parish=Naul&churchid=1145

For Parish details and addresses follow this link:

For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.  The Anglican Record Project is has created an index to their records: http://ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/bunclodyunionindex.pdf

Have you tried searching some of the websites which have church records online?

One such website is Family Search. This is a huge database of genealogical records compiled by the Church of the Latter Day Saints. It includes births and baptisms from 1620-1880 (not complete) You can search their database here: www.familysearch.org

Another one is Roots Ireland, which contains nearly 12 million records of births, marriages and deaths. However please be aware that you have to pay to use this site. http://rootsireland.ie/

Another good website is http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/index.html Both Catholic and Church of Ireland registers are currently being uploaded here free of charge. Only a few counties have be done yet, however Dublin is one of these so you may be able to find their records here.

You could also try contacting Swords Heritage Centre for assistance-a fee may apply. Here are their contact details:

Hi Ennis,

I deleted the above post from Lily Sandford as it was spam.

All the best,
