Hi Joanne,
Thanks for your message.
Have you tried looking for information on the family in church records?
Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be of use to you is the irishtimes website. Here they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. The civil parish Templenacarriga, is actually in the Roman Cathlic parish of Lisgoold. To see what records are available in Lisgool follow this link:
For Church of Ireland records check: http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/
Also, some Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic records are currently being uploaded at www.irishgenealogy.ie/index.html, where you can look at them free of charge. However, this is an ongoing process so no all records are available yet.
Some other websites which may help you in your research are:
The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/
The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx
Family Search: https://familysearch.org/
I hope that this helps in your research. Remember to post any other information that you come across, as the more information you post the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to assist or advise you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
Kind regards,
Genealogy Support
