Rickaard-Keenan

Ballymore (Westmeath)

Hi,

I am searching for the following family:

Mary Rickard b abt 1833

Ann Rickard b abt 1835

Thomas Rickard b abt 1837

parents: Thomas Rickard & Ann Keenan

I have no idea where in Ireland they may have come from. However, in the parish records of Ballymore I found the following baptism:

26 Mar 1833 Thomas Rickard, son to Thomas & Anne Keenan.

Can anyone shed any light on this family that would help me confirm (or not) whether I have found the right one?

Regards,

Larry McGrath

Larry,

The surname Rickard and Keenan are in the parish of Ballymore, so it is possible that they are both from the parish.

There is a Thomas Rickard in Connorstown, parish of Noughval 1829 - Tithe Records and a Thomas Rickard in Ballymorin - Griffith's Valuation 1854.

Credit: www.nationalarchives.ie/Genealogy - Tithe Records and www.askaboutireland.ie - Griffith's Valuations. Both are free
