Hello from Australia,I am trying to trace my roots like many others and all I have is my 2nd great grandfathers name...Patrick Laurence Maguire B 1833 in Carlingford Co Lough according to his marriage certificate...parents Patrick Laurance and Bridget Doyal (not sure if doyal or boyal or similar-horrid writing) Patrick senior was a stonemason. Junior was married in Australia in 1858 so somehow found his way out here before then,hoping someone somewhere may know something about them 

Thanking you 

Kylie

  • Hi here are some sites that may assist. Also could the mothers name be Boyle which is more common in the area. Doyle is a name found in Ireland also.

    A local site is http://www.carlingfordpeople.ie and a site for Louth is here but does no have certificates as per church registers which may be found here at some future point. 

    http://www.jbhall.freeservers.com and future site http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ Irish civil records only commenced in 1864 for all and in 1845 for Protestant marriages.

    There is a church tax record here for 1823 to 1837 for those with more than an acre.

    I will check on a subscription site site for the birth in the next 24 hours.

    Regards

  • Hi Again Kylie

    I tried Find My Past and got no record of a Maguire birth but I think church records which are all that is available may not be available for that period in Carlingford. There were no hit either in the tithe applottments that I sent you but in Griffiths valuation there is a Patrick Maguire in 1854 in Carlingford at Ballagan which is near Greenore, http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=nameS…; there is a little map given on the site which can be checked current maps at http://www.osi.ie/Home.aspx or Google maps but you have to take a leap of faith that it may be your Patricks father Patrick. Greenore is in the Carlingford area for the purposes of searching and at that time and only later began a port of note on a small scale.

    I live about 40 miles away as I do not think there is a local volunteer there.

    Regards
