Andrew Carroll

Gender
Male
Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in USA

Andrew Carroll was (according to my family's tradition) born in May 31th,1817 and baptised at St Canice's cathedral, County Kilkenny. Yet, my first view of the register at St Canice did not reveal the mention of Andrew's baptism.

Andrew left Ireland for the United States and made a home in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania. Andrew mined coal.

He married Catherine Burke in Pennsylvania ( I have no date or place of marriage).

Andrew passed away after 1890 and Catherine deceased in Chicago, Illinois on the 3rd April, 1903.

I have found neither a tombstone nor any mention of Andrew's date of death in records.

I thank you for contacting me if you have seen this family in your genealogy, or you descend from Carrolls in/around Kikenny city.

    Travelling Folk in the 1930s

    <p>Between 1937 and 1939, primary school pupils across the Republic of Ireland interviewed the elderly in their neighborhood to collect and record local stories and folklore from the 19th century. "The Schools Collection" as it became known is held by the Dúchas Folklore Collection in UCD and is and has been digitized online at duchas.ie. One of the topics schoolchildren were asked to write about were "Travelling Folk" or An Lucht Siúil. </p> <p>Here is a selection of what "settled" children wrote about travelers in the late 1930s.</p>
