Title: Killimore RC parish
Post by: busymother on Saturday 03 July 10 15:26 BST (UK)

I'm trying to find any record of a Stephen Conway born Killimore, nr Portumna (info from army pension record). Born about 1820 and married in Conway also to a Catherine Burke about 1855.
What would be the civil parish for Killimore?

Thanks

The town of Killimore is in the Civil parish of Killimorbologue and the RC parish of 'Killimorbologue & Tiranascragh'

Earliest records for the RC parish of Killimorbologue & Tiranascragh are 1831 for baptisms and marriages with some gaps in the details between 1842 and 1850
