Seeking more information on my 4th great-grandparents, Edward Quinn & Catherine MacNamara from Balyna.  I have located 4 baptismal records for their children in Johnstown parish in Kildare and Leighlin diocese: 

James 21 Nov 1831

Margaret 3 Aug 1834

Mary 26 Feb 1837

Michael 9 Nov 1840--I descend from this son who married Elizabeth Anderson from Glasgow, Scotland.  They are buried together in Des Moines, Iowa, USA where I was born and still live.

Seeking:

Edward & Catherine's Birth Records/Parents Names

Edward & Catherine's Marriage Record

Edward & Catherine's Death Records

Edward & Catherine's Land Records

Records for their other children:  Catherine, Daniel & John.  Would there be an Edward Jr. as well?

My family records are very jumbled for this branch and there seems to be a lot of confusion over whether the Quinns and MacNamaras were Irish or Scottish.  This may be in part to Michael Quinn marrying Elizabeth Anderson from Scotland, but trying to untangle what I can regarding the Quinns and MacNamaras.  Any help you can provide is truly appreciated!

  • Hi 

    I'm a volunteer with Ireland XO and would like to try to help, if I can.

    First, could you tell me when and where Michael Quinn and Elizabeth Anderson married please?

     

    Thanks
