help, please

Hi Susie

The closest match for a birth/baptism of Thomas Kiely 1810 in Waterford on www.rootsireland.ie/ is 1808

The parish is Stradbally R C 

There is also a baptism record of Catherine Kiely with parents Margaret & Thomas 1916 in Waterford - parish is Stradbally RC also.

However someone born 1810 is not going to have a child born 1916 - so we've missed a few generations here. Did you mean 1839?

There are 5 marriage records of Thomas Kiely marrying a Margaret in Waterford: 1806 1830 1837 1878 & 1907 Only the 1806 is Stradbally parish

There are a lot of Kielys in Waterford in the Tithe Applotments, Griffiths Valuation and the Irish Census 1901 & 1911 all avalable free online.

Yes, Catherine was born in 1839!  Thank you so much.  Where do I proceed from here, please?

Susie

So we are looking for Thomas Kiley born 1810.

Is it possible that it could have been 1808 Susie?

If so you could have a look at the 1808 record on rootsireland but you need to purchase credit

The likely marriage for Thomas would be 1830 & 1837 which you could also view.

There is a baptism record of Catherine Kiely with father Thomas 1840 in Waterford but the mother is not Margaret; there are also 2 baptisms in 1839 but the father is not Thomas!

Have a look at rootsireland and see what you think.

I will be unable to continue if I  have to pay for information.  I am supporting my ex-husband who suffers from dementia and our son, Patrick, 38, who is i a wheelchair and has Cerebral Palsy.  But thanks for the info you shared.

Ok Susie no problem - I can get you the records but I'd like to get the right ones.

I've just checked ancestry and there are two public member trees on it I'd like to send you but can't attach them here as I get a message saying 50 mb limit exceeded. The owners are Susannah Jones and hodgcawfulline. i assume the Susannah is not you.

I can attach them to an email address if you're OK with that.

Col

No, I'm not Susannah.  It's Susan Johannes.  Susieaj@frontier.com.

You are wonderful and I cannot thank you enough!!

Merry Holidays!

Susie

Hi Susie

I got  a bit mixed up; the trees I found were for McInally not Kiely!!

I had another look and see you have a tree there.

I've sent a couple of others in case they are relevant - please let me know
