Tracy family

OffalyGeashill (Offaly)

My great grandfather Michael Tracy/Tracey was born in 1838 in Kings County according to the 1901 census. On Michael's marriage cert his father's name is down as Bernard. This is the man I am interested in finding any information on!

I found a Bernard Tracey on Griffith's Valuation in the parish of Geashill , town of Gorteen. I am assuming this is Michael's father as I did not find another Bernard Tracy/Tracey in Kings County/Offaly.

On the Griffith's cancelation books Bernard Tracy/Tracey's name was cancelled in 1858. So either he died or moved away? But the fact that he was listed on his Son Michael's marriage cert in 1880 makes me think he was still alive at the time of the marriage?

Michael married a Mariam/Mary Ryan in Portlaw, Co Waterford in November 1880.
