Hi All
I am looking for James Carroll born c1811 Wicklow. He married Maria Byrne in 1839 in Kildare. James 46, Maria 36 and two daughters Catherine born 16 October 1845 aged 12 and Maria born 1 Oct 1855 arrived in Melbourne 5th Aug 1857 as assisted migrants on the ship "Star of the South" which left Liverpool 24th Apr 1857. James is described as RC and able to read and write. They had four other children who all died in Dublin where they lived in Bow West Lane. These were William, George, John 27 Feb 1851 and Mary Anne 11 May 1848
Cheers
John

Hi John,
Thanks again for your message.
I have already responded to the message that you left on Kilbride parish page. A lot of the suggestions I posted there will also be relevant here.

Do you know what part of Wicklow James was born in? If you can find the parish name it will greatly help your search as most record sources in Ireland are based on specific locations such as parishes.
Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
