Laverty

Margaret:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and sorry for the delayed response.

I checked Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie  I located the 1833 baptismal record for James Laverty father James in the Ballymore/Mullaghbrack RC church records. There are also four other Laverty baptismal records  from 1828-1838 with a father named James. However, Roots requires that you have a first name before you can browse the indexes to see what parish the record was in.

Roots is a pay site and they now require that you purchase a subscription before you can view transcriptions of church records.

Thank you very much Rodger, I have the four birth certificates from roots Ireland, James (1833) Teressa(1836) Alice(1839) and Charles(1850). I know of 2 more children John +-1831 and Patrick+-1847, For the last 2 didn't find any Baptism records and I suspect between Alice and Charles there are more children, I think one named William but not really sure.From roots ireland I aso have the Marriage records for James, Teresa and Alice, who also married in Ballymore/MullaghbrackRC, so I take it the Laverty's always lived there when the children were born. Do you think there could be years missing out of the Parish Records.

Thanks Margaret

I assume that there are gaps in the records. You may want to e-mail the church to see if they can confirm. http://www.armagharchdiocese.org/parishes/parish-details/?page=ddb_pari…
