Baker and Quinlan

Kylie:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I located the baptismal record for Margaret in 1819 on Find My Past but did not find her siblings. I'm sure they are on the parish register which is here http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0256

However, I did find three baptismal records for sons of John Baker and his wife Mary Roach living in Ballagh in the late 1840s and in fact John was listed in Ballagh in the 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Clonoulty.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much Roger for that swift response, there's a lot of great information there to look at and perhaps dig a little deeper and tease out a few more threads. I am so greatful for your help, and may be back in touch if I have any questions once I've sorted through it. Warm regards and thanks, Kylie

Hi Kylie, 

There’s a chance we may be related. My ancestor Margaret Quinlan came from the same area, specifically from Drum Otway, near Rossmore, born 1829. Her parents were Larry or Lawrence Quinlan, and Mary Gorman. They married in Rossmore in 1817 and had Daniel 1820, John 1824,  Ellen 1826, Judith 1831, Sally 1833, Catherine 1836 and and Mary 1837 that I know of. Margaret emigrated to South Australia in 1855 and I have not been able to find what happened to the rest of the family, although DNA suggests some emigrated to Syracuse, New York. Having combed the parish records I have found there were not too many Quinlans in the area (lots of Ryan’s and Dwyers though!) so it’s possible Honoroa was Lawrence’s sister or cousin of some degree. Have you ever found parents for Honora?

Warm regards
