Nicholson Family Cornafulla

RoscommonDrum (Roscommon)

I have researched my Nicholson family back as far as 1789 in Cornafulla. This date was the birth of Thoms Nicholson who married Annabelle Dolan in 1811. I cannot find any records for this area prior to what is found in the church records. As far as I know St. Peter's/drum is not included in the Elohim census 1749. Does anybody know if there are older records for the area. The landlords in the area were the hussey walshes. I have some pages from their family records, but there is nothing conclusive in them. Any help would be much appreciated

No luck with the parents' marriage I'm afraid

Thanks for that Col,

i have signed up to roots ireland a few times, and found the information you gave me. Thse are the earliest records I have found (in addition to some info that was gleaned from death records in the early 1800s.) I suppose I'm looking for a small miracle. I have access to the Irish newspaper archive, but I haven't found anything there for the pre 1800 period.
