Patrick Doolan

WaterfordLismore and Mocollop (Waterford)

Patrick Doolan gave his birth place as Lismore, County Waterford when he enlisted in the 51st Regiment of Light Infantry in 1825.  He was 18 so a birth date of 1807.

I cannot find the baptism records of Catholic Parish of Lismore pre 1820 and assume they were destroyed. According to John Gresham, there were three Doolan families living Lismore by mid century. So perhaps there is some local intelligence on these families elsewhere.

Any references you could point me to will be most welcome.

They were not destroyed it is just that there are no RC baptism records for Lismore (or for a lot of parishes in Ireland) before 1820. City areas are lucklier. Beacuse of the lack of BMD records we find that the land records can help plave families in areas

John Greshan is referring to Griffiths Valuation of 1850s

There are also Doolans mentioned in The Tithes applotments books of 1825

You could try searching www.rootsireland.ie to follow the lines of the Doolan families. It is a pay site. 

The 1901/1911 census records can be found https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie

I hope this helps
