Am trying to trace family of Sarah Bateman b approx 1856 in Glenosheen. Parents - Joseph Bateman & Mary (Anne) Legear. Sarah had a sister Elizabeth b app 1854. Also cousins "O'Farrell" - have a picture of Sally O'Farrell with Glenosheen in background.
Joseph is believed to be connected to Peter Bartman of Particles and Mary to Solomon Legear of Ballyorgan.
Neither of these are confirmed!

Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking in Church records? Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be helpful is the irishtimes where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Ardpatrick parish follow this link:
For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. The Anglican Record Project is has created an index to their records: http://ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/bunclodyunionindex.pdf
You could also look in the land records. There are two:
The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp
and Griffith's Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
Did anyone in the family emigrate? If so you could try looking into their emigration as sometimes more information was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure.
Some other websites which you may find helpful are:
The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/
The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx
