Peter Brennan - Born 1812 in Limerick, Ireland

Limerick

I live in Canada and am searching for information from Irelandabout Peter Brennan. Born in 1812 at Limerick, Ireland. I do not know any specific Parish. His wife was Mary Dee, born 1829 at Limerick, Ireland.

They emmigrated to ontario, Canada approximately 1847. They had 2 children, James and Lawrence while living in Canada.

The family moved to Minnesota, USA about 1853. There they had 9 more children.

Mary Dee died in 1880 at Lakeville, Dakota, Minnesota, USA.

Peter Brennan died at St. Paul, Minnesota in 1897.

The information I am looking for is speciffically as follows:

1. To confirm that this Peter Brennan was born in Limerick.

2. Who were the parents of Peter Brennan, when / where they were born, and also when / wherethey died.

3. Who were the parents of Mary Dee, when /where they were born, and also when / wherethey died.

Tyrrell:

Many of the RC parishes outide of Limerick city do not have records back to 1812. I searched the Roots Ireland indexes and could not find a Peter Brennan baptism in Co. Limerick from 1807-1817. I also could not locate a Mary Dee/Peter Brennan marriage in the 1840s.

On the other hand Roots had a lot of Mary Dee (or variant spelling) baptismal records. There were 16 records from 1826-1832 with a total of 4 in 1829. Without knowing the parents names you can't determine which may be for your ancestor.

Roots is a subscription site.
