I am searching my ancestors from Westmeath Newtown. Robert Smallhorn born between 1795 and 1805 and Mary O'Brien born 1808 both born in Newtown. They both died in Australia.

Hi Gerard,
There is a church baptism records for Mary O'Brien in Westmeath 1809 on www.rootsireland.ie/
Newtown is not in the list of parishes however.
I couldn't find Robert Smallhorn; the Smallhorn birth/baptisms in Westmeath on rootsireland are
Elizabeth 1832 Anne 1834 Joseph 1836 Mary 1838 John1842
In the Tithe Applotments which are free to search there is a James Smallhorn in Newtown Mullingar Westmeath 1833.
Griffiths Valuation also free to search has Michael & James Smallhorn in Mullingar Westmeath 1854
There are no Smallhorns in Westmeath in the Irish Census 1901 or 1911 and none in the current Irish phone book.
The Wilson/Perkins public member tree on ancestry.com has Robert's father as James who died in 1825 but I couldn't find this either.
Sorry Gerard, not much joy for you I'm afraid.
