My Great Grand mother, Bridgette Carew, left Ireland for Australia in about 1883.  She is said to have left with her father Thomas Carew.  They apparently hailed from Newtown.  I will be travelling to Ireland in July 2014 and was looking for any available information on this side of the Carew family.

 

Kind regards

  • Hi again John

    There are 7 birth / baptism records of Bridget Carew with father Thomas Carew born in Tipperary on www.rootsireland.ie/ : 1824, 25, 27, 71, 83, 86 & 86

    I assume she would have been a child but not an infant when she travelled in 1883 so would guess at the 1871. There is a list of parishes at the end of each record on rootsireland; you can go through these 1 by 1 for each record until you get the right one but it's a slow process - it's easier to purchase credit and pay for a few wrong records. I tried Dorrha which was in the list but it was Church of Irelnad and didn't give a match.
