I would like to learn more about my CARROLL family but I don't have much to go on. I know James CARROLL was born 20 September 1820 and all records so far have stated County Wexford. His parents are unknown. Any siblings are unknown thugh he might have had a brother named Daniel.

James left Ireland and was in America (Maryland) by 1850 when his first child was born. James was married to Bridget HAYES/Hays born about 1828, daughter of John Hays and unknown mother. It is not known if James and Bridget married in Ireland or America. Bridget died in Maryland in 1856. James married two more times and died in Maryland in 1898.

Any information on these families or contact with living family members still in Ireland would be greatly appreciated.

  • Thank you again, Col. I knew this one was going to be difficult since James Carroll is a common name.

    I do have a Kelly family line also which I am debating posting since that too is a common Irish name.
