Hi!
Relatives of mine, David Young and Margaret Young (nee Meara) lived at Kyleomadaun in Finnoe, Borrisokane, near Nenagh, North Tipperary, Ireland. They presumably had several children before parish registers began, but their recorded family begins in 1828 with Simon, who was born there. They moved West to Monsea Parish and had David there in 1837, followed by Penelope in 1840 and William in 1842. 1847's baptism of James found them back in Borrisokane, where they remained for Richard's baptism in 1848.
And then...nothing. There are no feasible death records for any of the family, no marriage records...nothing!
'Penelope Young' in particular should be easy to locate as the name combination is quite unusual in Ireland at the time. But again, I've not been able to.
There has been a suggestion that David's brother, another Simon Young, may have emigrated to Canada, but I'm not sure how to find out whether this line made it out there, too.
Can anyone help, or suggest some archives where I can look in order to find out where the family have gone?
