Looking for my Gorman/Haslam family in Laois.

John Haslam b. circa 1843  in Maryborough. Father - Edward Haslam.

Catherine (Kate) Gorman b. circa 1847. Father = Thomas Gorman, Mother = Mary Gorman (b. 1821), Sister = Mary Gorman.

John married Catherine, in Manchester UK, in 1866.  

Any information gratefully received.

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    The RC records for Maryborough/Portlaoise start in 1826 but unfortunately they are not on Roots Ireland. Here is the link to the parish register. I would search for John's baptismal record and possibly records for siblings.http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0714

    I also checked the 1850 Griffiths Valuation and found a record for a Edmund Haslam in Ballycarnan townland in Kilcolmanbane parish which relates to Maryborough RC parish so this is likely where your Haslam's come from.

    I also checked the 1901 census for Ballycarnan and there was one Haslan family in the townland.
