I am trying to trace my wife's Great Grandfather's Parents and ancesters. He was born in Ireland in 1948. His name was John Reardon. I have over the past 9 months tried to getdetails of his mother and fulldetails of his father. On his Marriage certificate he was born 1948 in Limerick and his father was Patrick. (Deceased at the time of Marriage in 1880..
I have tried Roots Ireland, Ancestry.co.uk, FindmyPast and Genes Reunited as well as Family Search. I belong to all of these. Every so often I try another search for his birth and yesterday Family Search came up with a John M Reardon, born July - Sep 1948 in Killmallock. Mother's Maiden name was given as O'Callaghan.
I have always searched for a John Reardon and not John M Reardon as I have never seen the M before so it may not be him. However the spelling of his name has always been Reardon and not Riordon.
I have tried to find a marriage of O'Callahan and Patrick Reardon to no avail.
Can you help me please. If you can I would be most grateful.
Incidently he became a Lance Corporal in the Army.
Thanking you in anticipation

Hi Ron, There were about 150 families of Reardons oin Griffiths Valuation 1850s. Some of them living in Kilfinane very near Kilmallock. Seeing that you had no luck with the online searches. I will find out email address of Limerick Family History research, They will look up Baptism and Marriage of parents for you for a small fee. Will get back to you on this.
You will be able to access Griffiths at www.askaboutireland.ie.
Best of luck
Kindest regards.
