Hi, Looking for information about Patrick Wall, b 14 Mar 1817 to Michael and Mary Wall. Patrick married Mary Hickey b @1830 Ireland. Patrick emigrated to Boston 1845 and married Mary 1847
We are hoping to travel to Ireland in 2020 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and would like to learn more about our Irish ancestors and hopefully to visit the area they were from
many thanks

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Unfortunately, there is a large gap in records for Blarney/Whitechurch RC parish. Baptismal records start in 1791 stop in 1792 and then pick up in 1821. So there is no record of Patrick's baptismal record on the subscription site Roots Ireland but I did find records for three younger siblings. See Below. I also located the parent's marriage record in 1813 See below. Here is the link to the parish register https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0020 Early records are in Latin as you can see from the 1813 marriage entry https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632520#page/55/mode/1up
I searched the Tithe listings from the 1820s/1830s but no Wall record was listed in Whitechurch civil parish. I also checked the 1852 Griffiths Valuation head of household records for Whitechurch and there were no Wall entries. So I'm not sure what townland they lived in.
Let me know what questions you have.

Dear Roger, Thank you so very much. I find the Ireland research so very confusing, and I am so grateful for your help and the information you provided. Do you have any idea of what towns might have used this parish for baptisms and marriages? Thank you again! Chris
Chris:
There are two civil parishes that feed into Blarney/Whitechurch RC parish and no surprise they were Blarney and Whitechurch civil parishes. The largest village would have been Blarney which is about six miles north of Cork city. Beautiful area to visit and of course the Castle is there. Blarney Hotel is a great place to eat/drink and it is just a short walk from the Castle. Blarney Woolen mills is also right there.
Roger
Thanks so much Roger!
