Tipperary / More recent relatives in Tipperary
« on: Sunday 07 September 08 20:40 BST (UK) »
Hello! I can find lots of records relating to earlier bmd's in Tipperary, but I need to start right near the beginning of my family tree and find my Grandfather and his siblings. I know their names (Leslie Patrick Holmes, Pearl Holmes, Desmond Holmes, Earl Holmes, Gabriel Holmes, Marina Holmes and Allan Holmes in case they ring a bell to anyone) and I know that they were born in Co. Tipperary and possibly came from Cashel, but other than knowing what year Pearl was born in (1933) and a rough estimate of when my Grandfather Leslie was born (1934), I don't have many details. Their father was Joseph Holmes. They moved to England at some point, again I don't know when.
So, with these sparse details, does anyone have any ideas about how I could go about getting more info about them, such as mother's maiden name, dates of birth, marriages, etc?
And do I have to go to Tipperary to search their records?
I was considering trying the central database in Dublin to search for the BMDs.
Anyway, many thanks for reading!
I look forward to any ideas you might have.
Cheers!
