Anthony Kilbane

Trish:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Can you clarify when Anthony was born? Achill Island RC baptismal records start in 1868 so if your Anthony was born in the 1820s, records will not be available.

Hi Trish,

I see you've been very busy with your Irish genealogy!

I searched www.rootsireland.ie/ for Anthony's birth/baptism & the parents' marriage but had no luck I'm afraid.

The Tithe Applotments (free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/) have two Kilbanes in Achill in 1828: Pat in Sala & Owen at Achillbeg

No luck in the 1821 Irish Census - no Kilbanes in any of the 11 counties listed including Mayo

Griffiths Valuation Free at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/ has 86 Kilbanes - all in Achill in 1855. Anthony is there twice but no Bernard or Celia

This is the only record of Bernard Kilbane on roots I'm afraid:

Registration Date:26-Sep-1892Address:DooegaParish/District:ACHILL DISTRICTGender:MaleCountyMAYO

I have a cd of Memorials of the Dead Galway and Mayo which has 4 Kilbanes buried in Kildavnet, Achill:

Edward died 15 Dec 1894 aged 54; Margaret died March 1890 aged 80; Owen who died 17 August 1849 aged 103! and his son Anthony (no date or age);

Edward died 7 July, 1947 aged 81

Do you happen to know if they were C of I or R C?
