I think my Great Grandfather Patrick Toole bcirca 1852 might have been from Wicklow or Wexford.
He married Elizabeth Lupton 18th January 1876
St Peter and Pauls R.C. Chapel
Great Crosby Liverpool
I would love to find my Irish Roots

Hi there,
Without a more precise location in County Wicklow, I am unable to recommend church sources to check. There are other records you can check in the meantime, which might offer you more clues so that you can check the church records at a later date.
Could you please post your message here: http://www.irelandxo.com/group/county-wexford
You should check the marriage record to see if any additional information was added. Perhaps more detail such as a location was mentioned.
Civil registration records are available from the General Register Office (GRO). These start from 1864 however. You can access the website here: http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm
You could also try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64). Griffith's is freely available here: www.askaboutireland.com or here: www.failteromhat.com Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at.
The 1901 and 1911 census records are available here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
Have you tried checking any newspapers for death notices from 1905? These might offer more information such as where he was from.
Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.
Kind regards,
