The Giblin family from Ballaghaderreen
I am hoping to visit Roscommon (Ballaghderreen in particluar) in September 2019 and any pointers in helping me locate information about my ancestors (the Giblin family) would be appreciated.
One of my grandmothers was a Giblin and I cantrace her line of the family back to the early 1800s. At some pointthe family moved to Liverpool, where my mother was later born.
I have information that a Roger Giblin was born in about 1823in Ireland. He was a farmer. He died on 5 December 1891 in Hogfield, Gurteen. He married Bridget Harkin. She was born in 1826 and diedon 13 December 1890 in Hogfield, Gurteen.
Roger Giblin and Bridget Harkin had the following children:
BRIDGET GIBLIN born 9 March 1852 in Ballaghaderreen.
OWEN GIBLIN born 19 January 1854 in Ballaghaderreen.
MICHAEL GIBLIN born 22 May 1857 in Ballaghaderreen.
CATHERINE GIBLIN born 14 December 1859 in Ballaghaderreen.
ROGER GIBLIN born 19 June 1864 in Ballaghaderreen.
ALICE GIBLIN born 17 August 1866 in Ballaghaderreen.
MARGARET GIBLIN born 15 August 1868 in Gurteen.
OWEN GIBLIN born 28 January 1872 in Hogfield, Gurteen.
Are there any libraries/record offices/graveyards that migh be worth visiting?
Many thanks,
Roger
