Having just found an obituary for the above in Brooklyn New York in 1905 stating he was born on 22/8/1808 in Limerick, Ireland I wondered what records might be available.
He is a Roman Catholic and appears in New York around 1830? - 1840 where he marries Catherine Mcgathern.

You best bet would be try obtain his death record for the hope that parents are listed.

I have a Jeremiah Quain Quaid (b abt 1801- died abt 1875)
Married abt 26 Feb 1829 Patrickswell Limerick -to a Bridget Keyes ( b 1809-1812- d. abt 1844)
Not sure if he immigrated or not? But could be a possible relation? Not many Jeremiah's in this tree.
Please note the surnames Quaid & Quain are pretty much interchangeable in Ireland:)

I would like to speak with you about Bridget Keyes Quaid. I've long researched that surname in that particular parish in Limerick as my own Keyes/Keas ancestry is from there.

Hi Cindy,
Can you view my tree on Ancestry.com? Jeremiah is listed there and there might be more info for you there?
Bye for now

Okay, now I am back. Questions abound.
1. How do you know when Bridget Keyes Quaid/n died?
2. How do you know she was born in 1812?
3. How do you know her parents were Edward and Bridget Burns?
4. How do you know those are all their children?

Hi Jila,
The Bridget born in 1812 was born to John Keyes and Ellen Cusack. The Bridget born in 1808 was baptised in Fedamore Catholic parish, roughly 15 miles from where your Bridget got married. I rather suspect your Bridget was actually born prior to the extant parish registers in Patrickswell, or, equally likely, she was born in the around round Mungret village, as the parish records for that area, Loughmore, in Bridget's time, no longer exist. That area eventually evolved into what we know as the Mungret parish, which has records extant from 1844 onwards.
I notice in one of your files you had Bridget as the daughter of Edmund/Edward Keyes and his wife Bridget Burns. I have a couple other children for them, Edmund and Mary, born in 1803 and 1806 respectively.
To be honest, though, I truly suspect you have the parents of Bridget wrong in this case. I have always thought, in looking at the list of their children, that Bridget was the daughter of one of the John Keyes in the area, which include my gggg grandfather. I'd almost have to wonder if her parents were not people called John and Mary. Have you ever considered that? I use a naming pattern as a jumping off spot, obviously!
In looking at your run of the kids for Jeremiah and Bridget, it looks as though they were all born in Manister Catholic parish, which is straight south of where the couple married by about 8 miles, near Croom. I had always thought it likely Jeremiah was the one I'd found in that area during the Primary Valuation, so that is good to know I didn't miss the boat on that one!
I cannot post my email in this, but I think you can probably PM me now and we can exchange emaillls that way, if you like. But I still wonder, how you know Bridget died in 1844!

Sorry I am not too familiar with some of the towns you mentioned:( I am not in Ireland & have never been there.
However as I said the old Quain info comes from a cousin in Patrickswell & this would include Bridget Keyes death about 1844
I have her daughter Elizabeth also married to a Patrick Quain- Their son also named Jeremiah (b 1875-d-1957) married Mary Jos, Hogan
============================================
This is a little story written by cousin George:
""John and Mary Quain (formally Mary Quaid from Ballykennedy Ballingarry who got married in approx 1836 and had ten children and moved to Creggane in 1843 leasing 381 acres including the site of Creggane Castle which had been in ruins since 1651 when Cromwell's General Ward took it out with gunpower) That John was a brother of Jeremiah (1800) Manister, Patrick (1802 Dunkip, Danial (1804) Ballintaw, John (1810) Creggane (as of above) and William (1811) Crean, there were several sisters but they are impossible to check"
Perhaps you will know the areas he talks about:)
You can message me through my tree on Ancestry anytime:)
