Hi Margaret,
Thank you very much for your query to Ireland Reaching Out. I have passed on your message to a member of the community in the Eyrecourt area. Hopefully someone will be able to help you out.
Have you tried looking for a marriage record for Elizabeth and Patrick? You could try the General Register Office (GRO), or failing that try writing to the parish priest in Eyrecourt who may have a record of it. This should give you more names, such as witnesses, etc.
Kind regards,
Sinead Cooney
Hi Margaret,
Thank you for your query regarding Elizabeth Clarke and Elizabeth Kelly. If anything comes up, I'll let you know. Neither were listed in the 1901 census for Laurencetown which only means they weren't living here in Laurencetown at that time...they would have been around the ages of 30 and 15 respectively. Did you receive any results from the Eyrecourt search?
kind regards,
Diana Murray
