My Philip RAYNARD was b. 1801/2 in Killeheen. He m. Frances HOLLAND (b. 1820/1 in Borrisokane, Co. Tipperary) in 1842. They came to Canada in 1843/4.
I am looking for anyone who might know Philips fathers name.

Hi Diane, thanks for your message.
Have you tried looking the family up in the Tithe Applotment Books? This is a set of landrecords dating from 1823-1838. YOu can find them at the following link:

Also do you know much about their emmigration, such as the port that they arrived in? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than departure. If you knew which port they arrived in you might be able to get more information that could be of help.
THe Library and Archives of Canad maybe of help to you. You can find them at the following link:

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,
