I'm looking for information for Edward H. Blake. All that i know so far is, That he was born in 1843. He was thrown in bridewell prison in 1858. Then came to the U.S. in 1861. That all came from famile search web site. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for your message. I hope that someone with information makes a connection with you and helps you to further your research.
In the meantime, did you know that church records from Dublin have been uploaded to http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/
Perhaps if you can find Edward?s baptism record here it will give you his parents names.
Have you tried looking into the family?s emigration? Sometimes more infomation can be found at the port of arrival rather than that of departure. For information on US immigration records check http://www.archives.gov/research/immigration/
Some other websites that may be useful are:
The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/
