Seeking any information on the Flood family.
George Flood was born in 1837 and baptised on
6 August 1837, at Castlemacadam. His father was James Flood and his mother was Sarah Flood,(born Jackson).
James died and Sarah married Charles Watson, who she had two daughters with. The family then immigrated to New Zealand, where George change his surname to Floyd.
Any information on James or Sarah would be much appreciated.

Hi
Thank you for your message.
Most Catholic records are held locally - One site which might be of use is - http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/ - where you can ?browse? an overview of available records per county. If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for possible assistance.
Church of Ireland parish registers for the period up to 1870-are public records. Registers are available for about one third of the parishes, however many were destroyed in the Public Records Office in Dublin in 1922. Most 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. A list of all surviving registers is available in the National Archives. http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. The Anglican Record Project is has created an index to their records: http://ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/bunclodyunionindex.pdf
You could try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) https://familysearch.org/ for the family.
