Searching for Irish roots around 1826

ArmaghNewry (Armagh)

I've been trying to find any Irish history of my grt grt grandparents who lived in Down (I believe) and who travelled to Carlisle, Cumberland about 1848or thereabouts.

My grt grt grandfather'so name was John Duffy who was born around 1826 and my grt grt grandmother's name was Catherine McGlade, born about the same time. I'm not sure if this is the right parish or not?

If there is anyone who has access to birth or marriage records there, please could you let me know? They had 2 children born in Ireland in around 1844by the namesof Henry and John.

Thank you.

Hi Jan

Here's a baptism record of John Duffy Down from www.rootsireland.ie/:

http://Name: John Duffy Date of Birth: Date of Baptism: 16-Nov-1828 Address: Parish/District: NEWRY Gender: Male County Co. Down Denomination: Roman Catholic Father: Patrick Duffy Mother: Aann McKenneth Occupation: Sponsor 1 / Informant 1: William McLiland Sponsor 2 /

There are a few for Catherine none of which are from Down

McGlade Catherine 1827 Co. Tyrone

Catherine 1832 Co. Antrim

McGlade Catherine 1836 Co. Antrim

McGlade Catherine 1836 Co. Armagh

I couldn't find a marriage record however.
