I am searching for my gggfather William BREEN who from census records was born in tipperaray c.1798

He was married in London in 1824 to Catherine LOUGHNANE who I guesss he may have known in Ireland.. I am a direct descendant and all the family stayed in London.I am looking more for possible siblings as I know from family sources that my grandfather used to visit Ireland to see relations andthey lived in or near AVOCA Co.Wicklow as my grandfathers house was callede AVOCA after the family ancestry.I think siblings masy have moved to Wicklow possibly mid 1800s.Hope somebody can help,

I live in Hereford UK

Tim I am looking at old queries and few records exist that far back and there is none for a William Breen in Tipperary. There are however two William Breens baptised in WIcklow (they are not close Tipperary and WIcklow, about 100 miles apart) one born 1793 mother Mary Farrell, father Charles, Ballykelly, Carnew, baptised 20 Jan 1793. Also a William baptised in the same parish, address Coolattin, Carnew, father Lawrence, mother Elanor Kenny, one witness is a John Fling, other Anne Kehoe.

You can view civil areas here https://www.townlands.ie/ ;

I can see no Catherine Loughnane baptism to suit, as in near or in Wicklow.
