Hi,

 

Thank you for your message.

 

Do you have any other information that you can share? Information such as fornenames, important dates, religion, emigration details if any will all help. 

 

You could try looking in Church records for information. Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be helpful is the irishtimes where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For  Kilskeer parish follow this link:

For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.

 

You can also check the land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century. There are two:

The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

 

and Griffith's Valuation(1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
