My Great-great grandfather was born in Liscannor May 1844; Thomas Conway born to John Conway and Honora Linnane. He immigrated to the United States in 1869. Any leads would be more than welcome!!

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    The baptismal records for Liscannor RC parish start in June 1843. I searched for Thomas in the May 1844 records and did not see his record. Possibly he was born earlier. Here is a link to the parish register

    I then searched for other Conway baptismal records in Liscannor from 1843-1853. There were about ten records but none had parents John Conway and Honora Linnane.

    I looked at the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Kilmacrehy and there were two Conway records in Ballysteen townland including a John. Possibly this is your ancestor.

  • Thanks! I'm going by Thomas' death cerrtificate here in the States. I would like to think it's accurate, but anything is possible.
