KILROY / LUNDY in Sligo pre 1850
« on: Tuesday 07 September 10 12:20 BST (UK) »
I am seeking any information about KILROY and LUNDY ancestors from Co. Sligo.

John KILROY b.c. 1815 in Co. Sligo and his wife Mary ? b.c. 1815 in Tubbercurry.   I would guess, from children's ages, that they married circa 1837.
They came to Blackburn, England with their 3 children - Michael b. 1838 Co. Sligo, Bridget b. 1844 in Ireland, and Mary b. 1848 in Ireland - before 1851.

Michael married Bridget LUNDY in Blackburn in 1859.  Bridget was also born in Co. Sligo in 1838, daughter of Patrick LUNDY (b.c. 1816 Co. Sligo) and Catherine ? (b.c 1816 in Ireland).  Patrick and Catherine  left Ireland between 1843 and 1850 together with 3 children born in Co. Sligo - Bridget (b. 1838), Mary (b. 1842) and Nancy (b. 1843).  Patrick's father was John LUNDY probably also from Co. Sligo who did not leave Ireland.

I would love to hear from anyone who has information about these or other Kilroys or Lundys in Sligo or indeed any pointers about places to look for information in Sligo.   I will be visiting Sligo and staying for a couple of days at Tubbercurry in the immediate future.

Thanks,

Kerry

for early details you will need to check parish records. Do you know what religion the family were ?

Hi Shane,

They would have been catholics.

Civil parish for Tobbercurry is Achonry, and the RC parish is is Curry. Unfortunately records for this particular parish only go back to the 1860s. See : Curry RC Parish, Sligo  (Irish Times Family History)

I guess that I'll be sightseeing rather than researching then!
Thanks for the link to the Irish Times site, it looks like it may be a useful resource.

While I was at Tubbercurry I visited the cemetery at Rhue and photographed a number of Walsh, Lundy and Kilroy headstones. By no means all, it's a huge cemetery.  Beautifully maintained.
