John Hardy Silcox

[tjcook9476]

Hi i am looking for information about john hardy silcox 1796 and the only birth i could find was that of john silcox born Dromore Parish, Down, Ireland. I am hoping someone could tell me if he boarded a boat or came to england with his family in the early 1800's. My john married in london sept 1814 so if i can find a passenger list before 1814 with john silcox onboard it would link ireland john to london john and would probably explain why i have a thing for irish men lol. Thanks for any help you can give.!!!

Tina,
      Unfortunately there were no passenger lists as Ireland was part of the United Kingdom then and travel within the borders was not regulated.

well after checking and double checking i cant find any other john thats a possibility so i think im going with this one. His parents were samuel and jane graham i dont know alot about ireland census's but if anyone can find them in ireland after 1814 then hes not my john. if he is mine then i would love a marrage record of his parents samuel and jane as i have found 2 other children for them aswell whos names tie in with my tree as being recurring names. thank you all.

The first complete census for Ireland is 1901.

Many pre-1850 church records simply do not survive and many of those that do survive are not available online so it's difficult, if not impossible, to know if the record you found is the correct person.

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.

It seems that you need a location to start so how about finding if more details exist from http://www.failteromhat.com/marriageall.php entry  in 1770   Silcox, Esther   F b1745    marries Wright, Alexander   b1745
Or perhaps find if the Wright family has been researched back to this date

Just starting out using familysearch.com,  then Ireland, Marriages, 1619-1898
, then Silcox, and then one immediately notes the alternate spellings to keep in mind eg Shillcocke . Amongst many 64 results many not dated, I find

George Silcocx marriage: 27 Jan 1792 Magheralin,Down,Ireland  spouse Abigail Harlin
Go down  the Co Down possible route

So I cant resist checking Ros Davies great co down website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies and find-
