I am trying to trace JOHN CARTY - BORN 1836 IN BALLINASLOE. He moved to Lancashire, don't know when. All my information came from military records. He joined up, and was stationed in India for 16 years. He was discharged because of ill health in 1875, and died approximately 1880 in Dearnly workhouse, Rochdale, Lancashire.
Ballinasloe volunteer notified
Elaine,
The Balinasloe volunteer may have further information relating to Balionasloe. In the meantime, you could check this link https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-gu…, which you may be aware of. There are good records at British Library also.
Best wishes, Kieran
Elaine:
Sorry the Ballinasloe volunteer did no respond to your message. I checked the subscription site Roots Ireland and specifically the Ballinasloe church records. The earliest John Carty baptism in the parish was September 3 1843 (born September 2) father was John Carty and mother was Sara Killack. Sponsors were Bryan Harney and Rose Harney. There was also another record for a John Carty born January 24 1844 and baptized February 12. The father was John Carty and the mother was mary Kemple. The sponsors were Michael Clarke and Susanne King.
I know these records are later than your information but I pass them on as leads.
Let me know if you have any questions.
