Trying to get information about Pierce Delahunt who I believe leased a Salmon Weir
in Rathpatrick Parish (according to the Griffiths Valuation 1848-1864). He is my 3xGreat Grandfather (paternal) and I know he had a shop in Dublin in 1837, but I do not know where he was born or where he died. His son Paul left Ireland in the early 1840s and went to Manchester and then in 1879 left Manchester for New Zealand.
I would be grateful for any information about Pierce
