Dwyer

Limerick

Hi,

I'm hoping someone is able to help. I am trying to find a date of birth or baptism for Patrick Dwyer. His wife Bridget Shanahan was born 16/02/1837 and they married on 14/09/1859 in St Michael's Catholic Church.  I have details of their children etc and I know that their son Michael Joseph Dwyer moved to Dublin at some point. I can't figure out when.

I've been searching for burial records, baptismal records and honestly anything really.  If anyone has any idea how to proceed, I'd be most grateful for any help.

Thank you,

Christine

When Elizabeth was born in 1881, the family lived on Quinn's Lane Nelson St.

I searched the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie and if you check the fourth record at this link, there is a Patrick O'Dwyer who died on Nelson St. and his widow was Bridget Dwyer.

See fourth record at this link for an 1899 death record for a Bridget Dwyer from Nelson St. She died in the hospital at the Workhouse. She is listed as a spinster but they probably did not know she was a widow

There were no Dwyers living on Nelson St. on the 1901 census.
