Hi I am seeking dates of Birth and Parish information For Richard French and wife Grace Caroline Fench (Smithurck?). Both born in Sligo sometime around 1870 give or take 10 years. I know they had a daughter named Grace Caroline Violet French on or around 1986 and she was born in County Cork.
Any additional info would be great.
Daughter Grace Caroline V was born last quarter of 1896 in Skibbereen County Cork. Registered as Caroline Violet Grace French. Grace married in Bandon County Cork in 1920 to Amos John Blackall
You might be able to order her birth certificate from the GRO in Dublin to obtain further details https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
The only Richard French I was able to find was born 15 April 1865 in Ballintubber county Roscommon, not sure if this is your Richard.
I am pretty sure that Richard was Phillip now, and that Richard was his middle name as all the other family members names and dates line up. As well my grandfathers brothers name was Phillip. Thank you again for your help.
