Hi John,
Thanks again for your message.
I have already responded to the message that you left on Kilbride parish page. A lot of the suggestions I posted there will also be relevant here.
In addition here is the contact information for Wicklow Family History Centre if you wish to contact them for assistance- a fee may apply.
Wicklow Family History Centre,

Do you know what part of Wicklow James was born in? If you can find the parish name it will greatly help your search as most record sources in Ireland are based on specific locations such as parishes.
Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
Genealogy Support
