Thank you so much for your reply.  I did get a copy of the marriage record from Louth County online - it gave me no details of their parents - it only gave me me 2 witness names so it led me nowhere.
I downloaded the 1804 Ardee baptism and it gave me 2 parents John taaffe and Bidy Commons and of course sponsors name but I have no way of knowing if this is indeed the James Taaffe as on his marriage certificate (record online) it does not show me parents names.  James died in Ardree so I feel the 1804 may be correct, but cannot go on assumptions.  james had a son thomas to his second wife so there could be a connection!!!
If you have any idea where I could find out James details I would be grateful.
thanks - Maureen

Louth / Taaffe - Rathescar Cross, Dunleer, Co Louth

Hi there, I am trying to find information on my ggg grandfather James Taaffe (born approx. 1807) who married Margaret Barron (no date found).  They had together 3 children
Patt baptised 7 February  1843 at Rathescar Cross
John     "          13 January 1846  at Rathescar Cross
Francis   "         21 October 1848  at Rathescar Cross (my gg grandfather)

Margaret Taaffe (nee Barron) died 17 April 1849 at Rathescar Cross
James Taaffe 18 April 1877 at Ardree

Francis at some time came out to Australia and married here in January 1875.

I have been at a standstill for many years as I cannot find any information on James Taaffe or indeed margaret.  They were Roman Catholics.

Hoping someone on this site is able to help.
Thankyou
maureen
