Penders of Carlow

RoscommonArdcarn (Roscommon)

I have been searching for the birthplace or resident of my great grandfather Thomas Pender and his brother James Pender, children of Charles Pender and Mary Murphy Pender

Thomas and James came to the USA c1854..all records just list Carlow.....been told Charles is an odd Irish Catholic name yet this name appears in both Thomas and james childrens' names indicating a family tie somehow...assumption is tht would have been poor farmers

Any help appreciated...on trail 30 years

Hi there,

unfortunatley Carlow is one of the few counties that doesn't have it's church records online. Try this site - you may find something but certainly they would be able to do a simple search for you.

Kathy, I'm a Pender in the USA, with roots in Co Carlow and Co Laiois. I've never seen either a Charles or a Thomas Pender in my research among Pender's in those areas. That might sugget that if you do locate a person with those names you should take a close look. Have you looked into the new records that have put on line at Irishgeneology.ie?

Regards, Charles Pender, Wisconsin USA
