Higgins search

Hi Kathryn,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried looking at local church records in Kilmallock to see if you can find any other records relating to the family?

Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For Kilmallock parish, follow this link:

Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ and http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42

Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.

You could also try contacting Limerick Genealogy for assistance, however a fee may apply. Here is their email address: research@limerickgenealogy.com

Kind regards,
