Hi Bill,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking in Church records in Fedamore for information on the Carroll?s?
Most Catholic records are held locally so you may have to write to the local priest for possible assistance. One website which may be helpful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Fedamore parish follow this link:
For information on Church of Ireland records check the following websites:
http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
Some Irish church records are also available online at www.familysearch.org
You can also search for records at www.rootsireland.ie however you have to pay to use this site.
Have you tried looking in the land records for the Carroll?s? There are two:
