Hello, I am researching my Quirk family ancestors in Ireland and hope you can help me locate records.  My great-great-grandfather Michael Quirk was born 1810 in Tipperary.  He married Elizabeth Brophy. They had a son Michael James Quirk born 1848 in Mullinahone, Co. Tipperary.

This son Michael James Quirk migrated to Australia, and married Sarah Rowler on 15 May 1873 in Ballarat, Victoria.  Their son Michael James Quirk was born 2 October 1874, in Mortchup, Victoria, Australia, who married Maria Elvira Stone on 26 August 1902 in Freemantle, Western Australia.   They had my father Linden Blair Quirk, born 17 November 1915 in Wellington, New Zealand.

I hope you are able to identify some information about the Quirk and Brophy ancestors from Tipperary.  With my best wishes.

  • Hi Brendan

    There is a record of the baptism of Michael Quirk 1810 Tipperary on www.rootsireland.ie/

    You need to purchase credit to view the full record but it will have the parish and MAYBE the parents' names. They have 40% off at the moment.

    There is also a baptism record of Elizabeth Brophy Tipperary 1823.
