Jerimiah Carroll 1850's

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried looking at church records in the parish to see if you can find information? Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For Pallasgreen parish, follow this link:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=East%20Limerick&parish=Pallasgreen&churchid=279

As you can see from this link there are copies available in Limerick Genealogy Centre so you could contact them for assistance, however a fee may apply. Here is their email: research@limerickgenealogy.com

Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ and http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42

Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.

Also, civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so any births, deaths or marriages in the family after this date would be recorded in these records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these records up to 1958 online at:

You could also try searching in the 1901/1911 census records to see if there was any family still living in the area at the time. These records can offer some very useful information http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

Some other websites that you may find helpful in your research 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

The US National Archives: http://www.archives.gov/

Genealogy Links: http://www.genealogylinks.net/uk/ireland/limerick/index.html

Familysearch: www.familysearch.org

I hope that this is helpful. Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

Kind regards,
