Thomas Louth

Dear Rihlefeld:

Many thanks for your query to the Ireland Reaching Out message board!

Upon reading  your message, I believe that some of your dates may be out slightly. 

Thomas Lough born in 1835 and married in 1852 would not have been baptised in 1862. 

I see where Thomas Louth was born on 9 June 1857 in Duleek to Thomas Louth and Elizabeth Dullaghan.

His siblings were:

1. Patrick 1 May 1859 and the address is Plattin.

2. James 5 April 1861 and the address is Plattin. 

In the 1901 Census, there are no Louth families in Plattin townland. 

There were three Louth individuals listed in the 1901 Census.  They were living in Killary which is north of Duleek.

If you believe that some of the Louth members of your great-grandfather's family remained, it is worth tracing them forward through the Civil Registration records that are available for free online at:

Kind regards,

Dear Rihlefeld:

 

Further to this post, one of our volunteers, Pat has asked that I also send you this message:

Local tells me the name is now probably now Lowthe and there is one in phone book in Duleek.

The spelling variant is worth looking into and if possible making some contact.

The phone book site is listed below:

The best of luck!
