Looking for Bateman/Bartman/Barkman & Legear/Leganeer

Liz:

Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie has an 1857 baptismal record in Co. Limerick for a Sarah Bartman parents Joseph and Mary. I did not determine the parish.

Roots is a pay site to view a transcription of a church record. They recently changes their processes and you may have to purchase a one month subscription.

Hi Liz

The following births appear for the Parish of Kilflyn for the same parents,  The births are recorded at "Glenasheen" more commonly spelled Glenosheen these days.  This was one of the areas settled by Palatines who arrived from Europe on account of religious persecution and the name would suggest that this family is one of those.

Joseph Bartman & Mary Legear/Leganeer M:30-Nov-1852

Surname	First Name	Year
Bartman	Sarah Jane	1857
Bartman	Elizabeth	1855
Bartman	Julius	1854
Bartman	Anne	1853

Seventeen years previously in 1840, the Bartman's appearing on the Castle Oliver were as follows:

Nr	Townland	FirstName	LastName
390	Glenasheen	Jacob	Barkman
495	Ballyriggan	Jacob	Bartman
496	Ballyriggan	Ellizabeth	Bartman
503	Ballyriggan	Hugh	Bartman

This sort of suggests that the previous generation was headed by Jacob.  If you wished to follow this up, the complete set of rent books are kept in the National Library of Ireland so you could follow the occupancy in Glenosheen that way.

Best wishes
