Gannons in Castletown

Hi,

Thank you for your message. Have you tried looking in church records?

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. For Castletowndelvin parish, follow this link:

There are also some places online where you could try searching:

www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.

Kind regards,
