BANNON, GOREY & KELLY INFO NEEEDED

Hi,

 

Thanks for your message and interest in Ireland Reaching Out.

 

You seem to have a lot of work done on your family history! Have you looked through church records for any record of the birth/baptism of any possible siblings? 

Most Catholic Records are held locally. One website which may help you is the irishtimes websites. Here they give an overview of what records ar available in specific parishes. For Trim, follow this link:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Meath&parish=Trim&churchid=963

 

For Church of Ireland Records, check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.

 

Do you know much about John's emigration? Generally, more informtion was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure. If you knew which city he arrived at, it may be somewhere you could find information on him. A good place to start looking through such information in the US, is the US National Archives at the following link:

http://www.archives.gov/research/immigration/

 

Some other websites which may help are 

 

The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/

The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx

and

Family Search: https://familysearch.org/  

 

I hope some of these links help, and that they may direct you somewhere that you haven't already looked!

 

Kind regards,

Emma,

  Sorry it has taken so long to respond, but I just saw this, 3 years later.  Iwas in Ireland 3 years ago & walked the land & was in the homes my great grandparents worked & lived.  Very emotional to say the least.  I'm still looking for John's parents, Arthur Kelly & Alice, unkn.  Thanl you for the time you took to help me.
