James Daly - born 1749-50 Dublin

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Do you have a more specific place name in Dublin where the family may have originated from? Were they from Dublin City or somewhere in Dublin County?In order to find more information on the family you really do need to have a more specific location. Most Irish record sources- church records, land records, census records- are based on specific locations. Until you know a specific location within Ireland, preferably a parish or placename, it may be difficult to do anything more with these records.

If they were from Dublin City, you can see what Catholic records are available at the irishtimes website. However, the city of Dublin is divided into many Roman Catholic parishes so it may be hard to know which records you should be searching in without a placename. Here is the link to the irishtimes website:

For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.

If you suspect that James may have fought for the British you should check the UK National Archives Army Personnel at the following link:
