Murphy,
« on: Monday 14 June 10 14:26 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help or send me in the general direction to search for a marriage or any information on the following family.

Thomas Date possibly born Devon, 1813 to 1817 parents unknown,

Bridget Ann Murphy or Nancy , born Carlow 1817 ish to,

Children supposedly born in Carlow.all catholic .

James Date 1837,

Jane 1844,

John 1849,

the family arrived in Canada in 1853,
 all census records in Canada state Thomas was born Ireland ,I think unlikely but would listen to other peoples theories,
Thankyou Gillian

You would need to establish a detailed location for the family to properly research church records - i.e. townland, town or parish. The dates available vary from parish to parish and many Catholic parish only started keeping records after the 1830s. See the map on the Irish Times website : Carlow RC Parishes  (click on the map for dates and details of each parish)

Some parish records for county Carlow are due to be added to the (free) Dept. of Tourism website at : http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/, but I believe they may be adding the Church of Ireland records first.

hi
this is more than likely knockendrane in the parish of fennagh and myshall.
i have transcribed a few pages of the parish birth records in the NLI in Dublin, but have only got as far as 1829.  The records for this area only go back to 1822, though when i get around to his childrens years, if i'll remember i'll tell you.
all the best
