This is a duplicate of a message I posted on the Killukin board. I couldn't figure out how to edit it after the fact to include it in Killukin (Boyle) as well. Most of what I have heard from others points to the family being in Boyle.

I am looking for information on the Oates family. I know that my ancestor, Patrick, was christened in 1832 in Killukin and that his parents were John Oates and Margaret Donlan. Patrick married Catherine Brady in Lockport, NY, about 1859. I'd love to find out more about Patrick's parents. Thank you!

Good Afternoon
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message.
As you can see from the link below, Killukin (Boyle) is a Civil Parish in Co. Roscommon:
Records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of Killukin and Killumod begin in 1811 for baptisms and 1825 for marriages. There are also some death records for 1820. As this is the case, you could try a search for John and Margaret's marriage record and baptisms for any other children they may have had.
There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:
www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.
www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.
Other important sources include the Tithe Applotment Books and Griffith?s Valuation. Even though these sources only list the head of household, the information is still important:
Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1837): http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/index.jsp
Griffith?s Valuation (1847-1864): http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
Some other websites that may be helpful are:
The National Archives of Ireland: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ you can search the 1901/1911 Census on the National Archives page too
Holders of Land over One Acre 1876: http://www.failteromhat.com/lo1876.php
Remember to post any new information that you find here. 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.
Best of luck with your search
