Daniel Aldridge born abt 1857 Kinnitty

Hi Gillrich72 . . . 

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . . and my Parish of Roscrea ( close proximity to Kinnitty )

I began my search for the family name Aldridge . . in the Tithes Applotments . . 

http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…

This family name appears on the Tithes list (1833) . . forr the townsland of Seirkeirin . . . 

http://www.logainm.ie/en/2042?s=Seirkieran

This is a rural farming district . . in the Barony of Ballybritt . . . 

http://sources.nli.ie/Record/PS_UR_042603

There may be buriels in the Ballybritt/Seirkeirin area . . as of old . . but on that . . I am not sure 

I do remember a very ancient. .  revered. .  Church ruin(s) in both districts . . . 

Do you know the religion of the family ?? As there are both C of I, and R.C. churches in the village of Kinnitty . . where . . 

births, marriages, and deaths . . may have been recorded . . . as the Village of Kinnitty would be the nearest to those country districts . . 

Another source . . ..  Griffith's Valuations (1847 - 863) . . has that family. . still farming . . on location . . in those years

Regards . . Eamonn M.Horan

Hi Eamonn, thank you very much for replying to my post and for supplying the information, it's certainly given me more to go on than I currently have. The family were Roman Catholic, I just wish I had a bit more information to work with. Thank you Gill

Hello, I have found a family of aldridge in seir kieran which is part of Kinnitty parish, family name is spelt Oldridge which is not uncommon at that time ,  1821 census which shows your Henry at age 14 in 1821, brother kieran at age 19, Edward at 16, sister Elizabeth at age 25 and their father Edward aged 60 years, No mention of a mother here so could be deceased but will check further for you, hope this helps, ps the address for this family is Brachmore Seir Kieran, 

Hi, thank you so much for that information, I believe that there was not many Oldridge / Aldridges in Kinnitty, so am hoping that will make my search for my ancestors a bit easier.  I have just ordered the birth certificate for my great grandmother Winifred Aldridge, so hopefully this will show her mothers maiden name as all I know at this point is her name was Mary and she was born in County Offaly.  I am hoping to visit County Offaly in September so am desperate to get as much information together beforehand.  Once again thank you so much for your help.  Gill

Hi Eamonn,

Thanks again for the information, it all helps and is very much appreciated.  I have been in contact with Offaly Historical & Archaeological Society and they confirmed the information I had (which wasn't much) and I've since found out he had 5 siblings. With their information and the links you have so kindly posted, it's all helping me immensely.
