I am searching my ancestors from Westmeath Newtown.  Robert Smallhorn born between 1795 and 1805 and Mary O'Brien born 1808 both born in Newtown.    They both died in Australia.

  • Hi Gerard,

    There is a church baptism records for Mary O'Brien in Westmeath 1809 on www.rootsireland.ie/

    Newtown is not in the list of parishes however. 

    I couldn't find Robert Smallhorn; the Smallhorn birth/baptisms in Westmeath on rootsireland are 

    Elizabeth 1832 Anne 1834 Joseph 1836 Mary 1838 John1842

    In the Tithe Applotments which are free to search there is a James Smallhorn in Newtown Mullingar Westmeath 1833.

    Griffiths Valuation also free to search has Michael & James Smallhorn in Mullingar Westmeath 1854

    There are no Smallhorns in Westmeath in the Irish Census 1901 or 1911 and none in the current Irish phone book.

    The Wilson/Perkins public member tree on ancestry.com has Robert's father as James who died in 1825 but I couldn't find this either.

    Sorry Gerard, not much joy for you I'm afraid.

    Col
