Bannon/Blake

TipperaryTipperary (Tipperary)

Looking for the place of origin  and family of my great grandparents .  The family was always told they came from Tipperary

Patrick Bannon  Married to

Bridget Blake.

They came to Canada in 1832 to Quebec with

their first  son Michael  who was born in Ireland on 24 June 1826

they had a large family in Canada but only Michael was born in Ireland.

They died within days of each other in 1846.  They had young children at the time so we can only assume an accident or typhoid or something similar.

All the children survivied and had large families.  

As for their age I can only assume they were born around 1800.

Someone on Ancestry suggested Foilduff but they have not answered my inquiry as to where they got the information. 

Thanks for your help

Hi Maryanne,

Go to www.rootsireland.ie  and you will find the record for Michael's birth.   I went to the main menu and put in michael bannon 1830 .  I then refined this search and entered his fathers name and then entered his mothers name.  It came up with just one record in the end in Co. Tipperary.

If you then look at the left side and click on county genealogy centres, it will show you a map of ireland.  I clicked on North Tipperary and then re entered the information.   I then went down to the parish/district dropdown menu and did an individual search of every parish.

your michael was born in the parish of Kilcommon RC.   At this stage you will have to pay to view the record, about €5.

Regards,

Anne

I cannot thank you enough Anne .   

 

Thanks  It has taken me an hour to get into the site as it has every time I have  tried to use this website.   Keeps telling me it is the wrong username and password even though it is correct.   Finally got it to work after rebooting a dozen times. 

Now I cannot figure out where the main menu is.  or the refined search.

Not the most user friendly.

I think someone is out to get me with this site.   I have now entered 3 different credit cards and it keeps telling me they are not accepted and that my email address is not correctly formatted.   LOL  Can you believe it.!  So I have no way to pay and no way to access the files.   

Thanks for letting me know where you found it.  I will have to try to find another way to get these files since this site is not easy to use.
