  • Dear Roz

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you!

    There are 5 marriage records for a Michael Corcoran on www.rootsireland.ie, one of these may be relevant as it is dated 1833. As this is a subscription site, I am limited in what I can see. As there is only one it might be a good idea to have a look so that you can rule it in or out. There are also a number of baptism records for children born to a Michael Corcoran, again though, I cannot see who their mother was. You can also use familysearch.org to investigate what possibilities are available. 

    Have you tried searching Ancestry.com for any mention of your ancestor?s name in member family trees or messages? 

    Let me know what you think

    Best wishes
