Looking for any information about Patrick and Frances Gilchrist, parents of:
- Patrick Glichrist b. circa1858 migrated to Australia on ship, Scottish Lassie ex Plymouth 12 Oct 1877
- Thomas Gilchrist b. circa 1859 migrated to Australia on ship, Salisbury ex Plymouth 4 Oct 1878
- Bridget Gilchrist b. circa 1861 migrated to Australia on ship, Salisbury ex Plymouth 4 Oct 1878
Gilchrist was not a common name in Co Derry. In the 1831 census there were just 3 households, all in the same parish – Tamlaghtard. 1 in the townland of Upper Doaghs and 2 in Ballymaclary. All were Roman Catholic.
Death registration started in Ireland in 1864. I searched the records 1864 to 1901 for Patrick & Frances but without success.
Tamlaghtard RC only has baptism & marriage records from 1863 onwards so if that’s where your family came from then sadly there are no records to search.
No Patrick Gilchrist in the Tamlaghtard area in Griffiths Valuation (1858), nor in Co Derry. How sure are you that your family came from Co Derry?
