Carlow Wexford Immigration of 1816*1818

Hello James,

 

I hope this email finds you well. Are you trying to trace your family's information for before they left Ireland or for my information about those who stayed behind? If so, a great place to check, if you haven't already is the birth, death and marriage records database see: https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/. While compulsory registration was in not enforced until 1864, you may be able to trace descendants through this site via the family name and local district; if you have that information. Also, you can search the 1901 and 1911 census here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ by the family name and address. Additionally, baptismal records can be traced here: https://registers.nli.ie/. The Local Studies department at Carlow County Library is also a place of rich sources, though some can only be consulted in person such as the archive of the local newspapers that may also be of insight to you! see: http://www.carlowlibraries.ie/explore/local-studies.

 

I hope this information helps, or at least points you in the right direction. Feel free to get in touch should you need further assistance.

 

All the best,

 

Judy
