CARROLL FAMILY

Terry:

You may want to look at www.irishgenealogy.ie which is an Irish goverment site which has baptismal and marriage records for Dublin. I would search for all three of your surnames. However, unless you know his parents names or at least one, how do you know you have the correct Thomas?

Roger McDonnell

Hi Roger thanks for your response and advice. Confused about your second point though.

I know I have the correct Thomas. Thomas is the son of Terrance so I know that he is the father (shown on 1881 census) but the problem is I have no record of the wife of Terrance (Thomas's mother) who had died prior to the 1881 census. 

I was hoping that, because Terrance and Thomas were both born in dublin, that there might be a better chance of picking up the family connection from other irish records.

Terry:

Made a mistake. I was referring to the 1831 Terrance and who his father was. But since Terrance is a less common name, you have a better chance. In fact, I located this 1833 baptism at St. James.

This is brilliant and many thanks for identifying this record.. Are you confident that this is the right record? I would not have had any chance of finding this so I am extremely grateful for your help.

Would it be difficult to trace further records from here?

Best Regards

Terry

Terry:

I have no way of confirming if this is the right record except it generally fits your info. The year of birth is two years off.

I would go to www.irishgenealogy.ie and see what else you can find. All the best!
