Looking for information
« on: Thursday 02 February 12 18:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Have been looking into my family tree for a few years and am stuck when we go back to Ireland. I wasn't sure for a while which county we are from, but have now found out if was most likely to be Co. Kerry.

And so, I was wondering whether any of you could help me out.

I have William Clifford b. 1837 (approx) in Ireland, father being Edward and mother either Sybil or Bridget (names listed differently on marriage and death of William).

I have found no siblings etc of William. I only have information of his children and so on. I cannot go any further until I find out more about him and his parents.

How can I find out any more about him?

..

If Co. Kerry turns out too  be correct then the place to start with a search for early records is www.irishgenealogy.ie  They have most of the RC and Church of Ireland parish records for the county.
