Charles Samuel Dixon

LaoisDurrow (Laois)

Hello,

I am trying to find out more information regarding my husband's GGG Grandfather Charles Samuel Dixon was baptised in Durrow, Queens in 1841. Charles Samuel Quinn's father wasHenry Dixon,

I have no further information except that Charles Samuel Dixon got a job on a ship and arrived in Australia where he stayed, married and had a family.

Hoping that I may be able to find more information, although it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hello again!

I assume your Dixons were Church of Ireland.

This link  https://www.ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/registers…  has information on the availability of C of I records and it appears that Durrow records up to 1837 are held in the Representative Church Library in Dublin. Not sure where the post-1837 records are located.

You may want to contact the Anglican Diocese to see what they can tell you about Durrow records.
