Hi All,
This one has been bugging me for 22 years. I decided to give it a dust down and have another look as since last time I looked I have now got subs with Ancestry and FindMyPast. No joy.
So this is one last ask for some help on trying to find these guys before I admit defeat.
Patrick Carroll and Bridget McGurk married on the 30th Jan 1839 in St Mary's RC church in Carrickmacross. They are my 3 x gt grandparents. I have the marriage record. I'm trying to find :
1. Their baptisms. Having found them on the 1851 census in Scotland where they were in Calton Glasgow, i'm estimating their birth years to be c 1816 and 1817 respectively.
2. Patrick's parents - Have Bridgets because she died in Scotland. Patrick may well have but it was sometime between 1851 and 1854 because Bridget remarried in 1854 and is shown as a widow. Scottish death records pre 1855 are Parish records and don't show parents.
3. Baptisms for their children. I am aware of 4 - William b c1838, Rose Ann b c1841, Marion b c1844 and James b1847. They all applied for Poor Relief at some point so I have confirmed they are Co. Monaghan from the North Lanarkshire Poor Records.
Any help/suggestions anyone can give will be most gratefully received.
Many Thanks
Ann

Carrickmacross is in the RC parish of Magheross. Unfortunately its baptism records don’t start till 1858, so if that’s where your ancestors were baptised, no records exist.

Hi Elwyn
You've confirmed what I suspected and would explain why I can't find them. Ah well, not to worry. Onto the next lot.
many thanks for your help :)
