Hello,
I am trying to find out more about George Sharpe in Nantinan in 1852. I believe he could be my great great great grandfather. Possibly the father of Daniel Sharpe of Liscarroll, Cork who lists his father as George Sharpe at his marriage in 1860.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who knows anything about the Sharpes in Limerick.
Many thanks,
K Roger

Hi Karen,
Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information on the Sharpes in Limerick makes a connection with you and helps you to further your research.
In the meantime, have you tried looking at church records in Nantinan to see if you can find any more information on these Sharpes? Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. nantinan civil parish belongs to the RC parish of Kilcornan.To see what is available there, follow this link:
