Verification of parish records
Good morning,
I whould like to determine if there are any records available for the Carroll fmily in Bullaun parish.
My great great grandfather lived at # 44 in Nogginstown in Kilreikle Parish as per the Tithe Applotment Book records for 1826. He was married to Ellen Dungan sometimes referred to as Helen Duncan. He had a son, Michael who was born on August 23, 1829 and babtised on August 25, 1829. The birth certificate showns that the parents were Thomas Carroll and Helen Duncan and the sponsor is shown as Margaret Jennings. The parish/ District is shown as Bulllaun, Co. Galway and the denomination as Roman Catholic.
James Carroll born 1843 left Ireland from Londonderry on June 9, 1865 aboard the ship Hibernian. He was travelling with his brother Owen (1832) and Catherine (1835) as per the passenger list. Their year of birth was determined from their age which was listed. The ship arrived in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada on June 19, 1865.
James Carroll married Winnifred Glennon in Montreal, Quebec on July 24, 1866. On the marriage certificate it indicates that James Carroll's parents were Thomas Carroll & Ellen Dungan from Co.Galway. Thomas Carroll was listed as deceased at the time of James' marriage while his mother was still alive. We now know that Michael was his brother as they have the same parents and obviously Owen & Catherine are also siblings as they were shown as family with James during their passage to Quebec. Winnifred Glennon was from Co. Roscommon, Ireland and her parents were John Glennon and Bridget Norton and both were listed as deceased at the time of their daughter's marriage.
James Carroll died in Montreal on July 28, 1883 however we were never able to determine the day or month of his birth as marraige and death certificates only mention his age.
Where exactly is Nogginstown in Co. Galway if you wanted to visit that location although Nogginstown doesn't exist anymore.
Thank you
Bryan Carroll
