Hi SL

Do you have an ancestry subscription as the record is on that and will be better than what you get off rootsireland to be honest ?!

Let me know !

Hi Tara,

Yes I do have a subscription to ancestry. Thank you for asking. I'm just not very good at it.
 You were right about ordering the record. There was not much in it. That's okay I had to find out.
Oh, btw good news. I found the marriage of Catherine Bierds & John Mckane on ancestry. June 17 1858 in Maryborough, Laois, Ireland. I now see a baptism record for a Catherine Baird in Laois 1841 I must check out.
 I couldn't have done it without you and Hasta. John Mckane must have been stationed in Maryborough with the military at some time? John Mckeane was enlisted as #958 87th Regiment of Irish Fusiliers. His military record shows that he was released on Jan 13 1857. He was born in 1818 Ennistymon, County Clare. Looks like he was in prison alot too from 1845-1857. . lol

Back to my research.

Take care,
SL

WOW,

Sure that's great for a day's work 

Hum, it would look towards Catherine being a Laois lady.

I'm just a 'blow in' to Laois, but I'm certainly interested to see if she is !

Super

There is a Richard Baird on the GV at Well Road, Maryborough (Portlaoise) which is quite literally around the corner from the church.

He is a good possibility as her father ~ fingers crossed.

The church record states that she resided in Maryborough, usually when this is the word used it means that she was from the town, as otherwise a townland name would be given.

Again, this ties in with Well Road ~ The New Road as it's VERY originally known as these days.

Funny, I only live down the road from there and the road is being dug up at the moment.

Sorry to ramble, but I hope by doing so it might bring her to life as it were

Hi Tara,

So much has happened in the last 20 minutes since I last posted. LOL
I managed to find some baptismal records for Maryborough, Laois.

The parents being Richard Baird & Mary Kilford

Edward Baird March 31 1839
Richard Baird March 31 1839
Catherine Baird March 21 1841

also, this one seems suspicious

The parents being Richard Baird & Mary Guilfoyle (sounds like Kilford?)

Richd Baird Dec 11 1839

Do you think it's my Catherine?

Take care,

SL
