Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried looking for the families in the two land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century? They are both online:

The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

and Griffith's Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

For information on Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.

The following weblinks may also be helpful:

The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/

The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx

The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/family_history.htm

The National Archives UK ? genealogy search: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/

I hope that this is helpful.
