Any Welby's

Hi, this request is in two parts regarding the Welby surname.

 I am looking for any information on tracing the parents and siblings of my great great grandfather Patrick Welby. He was born about 1834/35 in Kilcummin Oughterard. He got married in Limerick in May 1858 to Catherine Lillis. He joined the 2nd/9th Norfolk Battalion in Limerick. They had 9 children of which 5 where born in Limerick are. Patrick died in 1898 in Norwich and Catherine 1897 in Winchester. From the 1911 UK census for Grimsby he possibly had a sister Anne Welby born in 1843 in Galway. Can anybody help or have any information?

The second part is that I am looking for all and any information on Welby's in Ireland as part of searching for my own family tree but also as part of my one name study that I have been doing since 1976. You can see my profile at http://www.one-name.org/profiles/welby.html

Any information that anybody has on any Welb'sy marrying into a family or just the family name itself  I would be very grateful to receive.

Many thanks,

Daniel Welby

Hi Daniel

There is a record of the baptism of Patrick Welby in Galway 1832 Galway on www.rootsireland.ie/

The parish is Kilcummin Oughterard RC.

You need to purchase credit to view the full record which MAY have the parents' names.

Dear Col,

Many thanks for the information. I have already joined rootsireland and downloaded most of their information that they have on Welby, and while that baptism does give the names of both parents I have not been able to confirm or deny that this is the correct record. Especially as the records that I have, though one has to be careful with dates given, as born 1834/35. Thats the reason for my "cry" for information from others to see if I can find any other corresponding information. We shall see!

 

Many thanks for replying it is appreciated.
