Hi,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information makes a connection with you and helps you to further your research.

In the meantime, have you tried looking at church records for more information? Catholic records for the parish do not start until 1835:

However Church of Ireland records generally tend to have an earlier start date so if he was Protestant you may be able to find something there. Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ and http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42

Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.

Some other more general websites that you may find useful are:
