After searching for some considerable time for my relatives all originating from Dublin, I think I have finally been able to locate some information which might help in my search.

My family name now is Carroll and, after locating the Liverpool census records for the family, they apparently also used the names Caryl and Cahill. I assume that these differences were down to transcription errors at the time. I now think that back in Dublin they were known as Cahill.

Father: Terence Cahill (born abt 1827) Sons: Thomas Cahill (born abt 1852) and Cormack (Born abt 1859) in Dublin 

One Dublin Baptism record (St Pauls Arran Quay) that I have found for Cormack Cahil (born 1 September 1859 and baptised 5 September 1859), it shows the mother as Mary Anne Byrne (birth date unknown) and the father as Terence Cahil.

It would be great if I had could link any of the other family records together (marriage or Birth/Baptism) and see if that might help me go back down the Cahill and the Byrne lines. (If correct)

On the 1881 Liverpool census, Terrance was shown as a widower and Mary Anne was not shown on the 1871 census either and he was just shown as a boarder. This seems to indicate that Mary Anne died in Dublin before they moved to Liverpool and there would also be a death record if this was the case.

I would be very grateful for any assistance that might help in our search. It also states on the baptism record that they lived at 48 Bow St at the time of the baptism. Many thanks in anticipation. 

Best Regards Terry Green

    Terry,

    Here is the baptism record for Thomas Cahill. https://tinyurl.com/y75r5qfm A picture copy of the record is attached.

    Note the mother is Mary Anne which is the same as in your Cormack record.

    I would suggest you do a Google search of "St Paul's Arran Quay". You will find several sites with interesting parish information.

  • Terry, have you check Glasnevin Cemetery records online? ALL Denomination with & without money were buried there. My entire Flanagan family, around the timeframe you have indicated, are buried there. My ancestors were very poor people...and their records WERE available.

  • Thank you for all your help so far with my search. Going back to the 1871 census in Liverpool there are also 2 other residents in the house at Back Portland St who are shown as the Head of the house where the Cahills lived. 

    They are Thomas Burns (age 45 (born about 1826) and Catherine Burns (age 54 born abt 1817)

    For some reason I had not considered that they might be related to Mary Anne Cahill (maiden name Byrne) in Dublin. If this were the case Terence and his family might have joined them there after her death which looks to be around 1866.

    It would be great if any connection could be found for them in Dublin previously linked to Mary Anne Byrne and her family.

    Many thanks for any further assistance opu might be able to give.

    Best Regards and much appreciated. Terry Green

  • Terry, it appears to me that you will have difficulty in making the connection of Burns to Byrne. If it will help, you can browse or download a file of Byrne (and alternate spelling) baptisms in the Dublin 6 largest parishes from my Dropbox account at https://tinyurl.com/ycksv3vu. 

    Did you notice the sponsor, Catherine Byrne, in the Thomas Cahill baptism record attached to an earlier posting?

  • Many thnaks for your help Don. The sponsor does help that it matches although catherine must have been a very popular irish name. Does make you think the connection may be  right though.  I will continue to look as you suggest. All the best and much appreciated.
