Dillon - Rourke

Ray:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I checked Roots Ireland and was not able to find the marriage record but did find nine baptismal records. Your family was from Waterford town. Transcriptions for three of the baptismal records are below. The records I found are as follows: James 1826 Mary 1830 John 1832 Patrick 1834 Edward Patrick 1836 Elizabeth 1838 Anastasia 1841 Ann Mary 1842 William Joseph 1844   You will note that the records don't totally match your names and the years of birth differ in some cases.

Let me know if you have questions.

Roger, thank you very much for your help!!

May I ask for additional help with the family of John Dillon (date of baptism 11-Jun-1832, a son of Patrick DillonMother and Anastasia Rourke)?

I have been matched to a cousin who is a member of the Daly family--I suspect that there was a relationship between her John Patrick “Pat” Dailey/Daly, and the wife of "my" John Dillon, Ellen Daly Dillon.  I believe that she was born in Ireland in about 1840 and likely married John before migrating to the US in the late 1850s.

All I have is that this John Patrick “Pat” Dailey/Daly, was born  in Ireland in 1823 and died in the US 1883-5 (this information is combined from various sources).  I would imagine that they were from the Waterford area, although this is a guess  

DO you have any documents to suggest that Joh Dillon and Ellen F Daly were married in Ireland, and the names of her parents?  Of course if there is also a baptismal record for John Patrick Daly with these same parents, that would be ideal :)

Many thanks in advance for your help

Best, Ray

I remember this post and I'm surpised that four years have past.

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find a John Dillon marriage to a Daly around the 1850s.

There are probably 15-20 Ellen Daly baptismal records in Co. Waterford around 1840. I assume you don't have parents names.
