grady family of bushfield roscommon

Hi there,

Cloonygormican looks to be in the Roman Catholic parish of Kilbride. There are church records available for Kilbride (diocese of Elphin). These date from 1835 for baptismal records and 1838 for marriage records. You can find these at the National Library of Ireland, Pos. 4614, or the Church of Latter Day Saints, film 0989749. If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for more assistance. http://kilbrideparish.ie/

Civil registration records are available from the General Register Office (GRO). These start from 1864 however. You can access the website here: http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm

You could also try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64). Griffith's is freely available here: www.askaboutireland.com or here: www.failteromhat.com Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at.Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38). Microfilm copies of the books for all of Ireland are available at the National Archives of Ireland (NAI) http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/tithe-applotment-books-and-the-primary-griffith-valuation/ or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS).

Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.

Kind regards,
