Hi,
I'm having a slight nightmare with my mothers side of the family TANDY and I am hoping someone might be able to help me a little.
They were Catholic and from the parish of St Mary's yet I can find no records on line anywhere.
Lawrence Tandy ( or Tandey) born about 1841 on the marriage certificate it says his father is a James Tandy ( Tandey) the only thing I can find so far is a James Tandy on the Valuation of Tenements list living at Bottle Lane, St Mary's Parish, Drogheda and that is it :-[. I even went to the extent of paying someone, not in Ireland to help me out and he could not even find the marriage certificate i later found. At a loose end.
Thanks a million.

Co. Louth transcripts are included in the Irish Family History Foundation system - maybe they have data for Drogheda/St. Mary's ... http://www.irish-roots.ie/ (pay-site)
