Hello, I'm looking for any members of the Condron family still living in Naas. One of my ancestors, Luke Condron, was born in Naas in 1829. I'd appreciate any tips on where to search for documents relating to him. Thank you!

  • Hi mad

    Here's a baptism record from www.rootsireland.ie/ (subscription site):

    There is also this one from 1827 so perhaps there was a Luke born to the same parents who died

    Here's the parents' marriage record which is long before 1829 so Luke could have been one of their later children:
