I am trying to find the Parents of my 4x G/Grandfather Phillip Joseph Campbell, Born 1808 Tuam County Galway Ireland. He married Eliza Mahon 21 Jan 1826 @St Mary's {Pro-Cathedral} Dublin..Any help would be greatful.Tom Campbell Taupo, New zealnd
Tom,
I have checked Ancestry, RootsIreland, and Irishgenealogy and have found no record of Philip's baptism. Some trees on Ancestry suggest he was born in Dublin. In Ireland the eldest son was named after the father's father. Philip's eldest son was Francis, a possibility.
Regards- Mary
Hi, I have an Irish ancestor caIIed Philip who is sometimes recorded as Phelim or Felix. Perhaps your Philip is recorded under another name?
About your Philip's marriage. It would have been unusual at the time for someone from Galway to marry across the country in Dublin. Are you sure the record you found is the correct one? Good luck!
Per a tree on Ancestry. Eliza and Philip had at least 9 children. most born in Dublin. According to trees Philip died in Louth and Eliza in Dublin or Louth??
