Looking for info

Cavan

I am looking for any information on my GGG-Grandfather Edward Courtney. He was born about 1815 and arrived in the US on 26 Apr 1836 onboard the ship Colchis. I know that he is listed as being from "Cavan" on the ship's manifest. Any information on him in Ireland would be helpful.

Thank you,

Brian:

Civil registration did not start in Ireland until 1864 so we have to rely on available church records before 1864. I checked on Roots Ireland and they did not have any baptismal records for an Edward Courtney in Co. Cavan from 1805-1825.
