I am looking for Francis Wall, born 5 Jan 1818, to parents Maurice Wall and Mary Carrol and sponsors Daniel Ryan and Margaret Waters. I have no info on marriage of the parents. I have a baptism of a Mary Carol on 30 Oct 1796 to parents John Carol and mother Bridget Glenan in ST.Patrick parish. I also have a baptism of a Francis Wall on 20 Nov 1796 to parents James Wall and Brigid Murphy in Carrick-on-Suir in waterford co. A Bridget Wall was also born in 1818 at this same parish
Along this line I have a James Wall born 3 Aug 1819 and Margaret Wall,born 1818 to parents Maurice Wall and another wife by name of Mary Kiely in parish Ardfinnan and Margaret Wall It seem that this area is where my GGrandfather(the Francis Wall born 1818) came from. Can anyone offer me more info on any one of these persons? Thank you.

Hi Janis,
Thank you for your message.
I hope that someone with information on this family makes a connection with you and helps you to further your research.
In the meantime, have you tried looking for record of Francis or Maurice in the land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century? If you can find them in these it will give you the name of the townland where they lived and also information on how much land they owned/rented. There are two:
The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp
and Griffith?s Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
