Dear Linda

Sorry you've not had a reply yet to your post. You'll appreciate that most of the folk on this site are looking for Scottish ancestors, but that doesn't mean we won't try to help people searching in other areas.

I'm only just beginning my own searching in Ireland, so can't offer too much help at present. However, if you've not done a lot of searching yourself, you might want to have a look at this site to start you off:-

All the best!
