Margaret Carrig and John Quinn m 1851

HI btracy . . . 

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out  . . . 

I am NOT the Volunteer . . nearest to your query . .  . but I will try to direct you to that person. . 

I had a quick look at your query . . and have doubts immediately of your principal information input . . 

" John Quinn married Margaret Carrig on 4th of Feb 1851 at Clondegad Kilcreest Parish  John was born in Tipperary "

I think you meant . . March 4th.1851

When I searched for Margaret Carrig's birth ( circa 1830). . on 'Roots ireland' I found nothing.

On Ancestry . . a Margaret Carrig was Baptised on May.10th. . in Limerick . . ( geographically possible) . . as follows

Name   :Margaret Carrig     Baptism Age:0     Event Type:     Baptism/Birth Date:1830     Baptism Date:10 May 1830Baptism Place:St Mary's, Limerick City, Limerick, Ireland    Parish Variants:St. Mary's, Limerick    Diocese:LimerickFather:Jno Carrig     Mother:Cathe Scott . . .

So . . when I search for John Quinn ( born Tipperary) ( circa 1820 +/- 10) . . . on Roots . . 

I get 80 hits . . incl. spelling differences . . . So . . that makes it impossible to pin point your John Quinn . . 

Searching ' Ancestry ' . . too many John Quinn's . . all over Tipperary . . .

The nearest Volunteer to that area is possibly . .

Try contacting Jane direct . . . 

Hope this has been of some help . . . Cheers . . Eamonn.

Dear Btracy:

Welcome to IReland Reaching Out and thanks for your post to the message board.

I am the volunteer that Eamonn mentioned.

A great place for you to start your research would be through the online sources that are available at the Clare Library.  The link for them is below:

http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/genealog.htm

As you will see, there are a number of different sources available to you and it is worth taking your time and going through them bit by bit.

The Clondegad registers were voluntarily transcribed and are on this site under the Births/Baptisms tab at the right.  I have had a quick look at them for you.

In addition, the Griffith's Valuation notes a Catherine Carrig who lived at Cloonmore in Clondegad in 1855.  You can view this using the links on the site.

Unfortunately, the registers only go back to 1846, so you will not get a baptism record for Margaret.  However, you might look at other marriages for Carrigs as one of her siblings may be noted as having married in the parish. 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Jane Halloran Ryan

Margaret's father was William Carrig. Mother possibly Ann. She had several siblings. I will post those here as well and follow up on advice posted  Thank you all
