Dublin / Re: Politics in Ireland during the 1820s

My sources about his political activities are other Leslies who have researched the line more comprehensively than me. However, the couple who have mentioned James Leslies' political activities have never cited a source for this claim. How was his status as 'a rascal' arrived at? Was he educated? Was he Catholic or Church of Ireland?

I am interested in finding out about the kind of records that have been kept regarding a person's social/political activities. Claims have been made about James Thomas Leslie being sent away (as a Remittance Man) from Dublin due to his political activities and I am interested to learn how that claim was made. That is the reason for my question about available records re this matter. Are there court records, for example? Was he charged with an offence? Did he belong to a political organisation of which membership records are available? I am interested in finding out how the claim about his political activities was made.

Dublin / Politics in Ireland during the 1820s

How possible is it to find out about an individual's political activities during the 1820s in Dublin? What records would have been kept? Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks for your help. James Leslie married Margaret Gertrude McCarthy from Dominick Street Cork. She was born  on 10 July 1817 and travelled to Tasmania where she married James Leslie in Hobart Town in 1835. James Leslie left Liverpool on the 'Juno' in 1830. It seems he was a Remittance Man and sent away due to his political activities.

I discovered recently that I am a descendant of James Thomas Leslie born in Capel Street Dublin in 1812. I am living in Melbourne Australia and was born in Tasmania. I am interested in making contact with other descendants of James Leslie so if any of you read this post, please reply.

I think I will start a new post dedicated to James Thomas Leslie. Several posters are descended from him and I'm particularly interested in making contact with MasonLaRoche. I have been in contact with the author of the book about the Leslies in Launceston (Tasmania) and its environs who said that tracing back beyond 1812 is impossible,  She believes James Leslie was born at 5 Capel Street from the wholesaler and druggist reference you provided. Thanks a lot for your help. This has been a good introduction tho the site!

Thank you Shane for your response. Thomas James Leslie was a merchant - a dyer, I have been told. He was the father of James Leslie (born in 1812) but James's mother was not recorded it appears. What would be the reason for that? Do you know?

Thanks for the reply.  A poster said that some early Dublin parish records survived.  My ancestor is Thomas James Leslie of 5 Capel Street,  Merchant's  Quay who died after 1837. It is believed he lived in St Audeon's Parish and there maybe surviving records. His son, James Thomas Leslie is my ancestor who was sent to Australia (Tasmania) as a Remittance Man in 1830 due to political activities. If anyone can shed any more light on these people, I would be grateful. Thanks

Is it possible to find Dublin records before 1812? I have been told it is impossible. I am searching for records of Thomas Leslie of 5 Capel Street Merchant Quay Dublin. I am a descendant of his - through James Leslie his son,  - born in 1812. Can anyone help? Thanks.
