Thomas Rickard and Ann Keenan

WestmeathBallymorin (Westmeath)

I am seeking information on the family of Thomas Rickard and Ann Keenan.  After spending some time with Griffith's Valuation, I think it likely that the family resided in Ballymorin, County Westmeath, as that appears to be one of the only towns in Ireland that had a Thomas Rickard at that time.

The couple had at least 3 children: Mary, born abt 1833, Ann, born abt 1836 and Thomas, born abt 1838.  The 3 children were living in Buffalo, New York by 1860 - no sign of the parents.  I am interested in finding a marriage record for the parents and birth records for the children. 

I would appreciate your help in directing me to where these records may be found.

Civil registration in Ireland did not begin until 1864. Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie has RC baptismal and marriage records for Ballymorin parish going back to 1781.


Roots is a pay site to view actual records.
