I am interested in finding out more information on the paternal side of my family. My ancestor James Mulcair emigrated to Australia in the 1880's. I have a good summary of his life and family here in Australia but not before. His Mother was Johanna Hayes and Father Eugene (or Owen) Mulcare.
Thank you in advance
Deirdre Mulcair
Rootsireland has a record of Eugene Mulcair marrying Johanna Hayes in Co Limerick in 1862. (Pay to view to get any additional details).
Searching for baptisms to that couple produced 9 in Croagh parish, spanning 1862 to 1885. (James isn?t one of them though).
Thank you........I will follow this up.
They had a lot of children.
You might find the recently available parish registers useful, I have seen a lot of references to this family
