Enright Cullen Family

WexfordKilmallock (Wexford)

Mary Enright, child of Patrick Enright and Johanna Burke was born in Kilmallock, Limerick, Ireland on 3 Jun 1864.  I am looking for any information about any of these people to assist me in my search for my Irish ancestoral roots.  Thank you in advance for any assistance or information you may be able to provide.  Mary Enright is one of my maternal great grandmothers.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information makes a connection with you and helps you to further your research.

In the meantime, have you tried looking at church records to see if you can find anymore information? For example Patrick and Johanna?s marriage record or possible their own birth records. Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For Kilmallock parish, follow this link:
