Hello.

My 2nd Great Grandfather, Christopher King, came from Kells. The information I have is as follows:

Christopher's parents were Christopher King and Mary Mangan. We are not sure where Mary was born.

Christopher (the son) was baptized (Catholic) on  9 January, 1815 - sponsors were Christopher Sheridan and Mary Hickey.

Christopher's brother Laurence was baptized 4 October, 1816 - Sponsors Thomas Sheridan and Mary Donogan

Christopher's brother, Charles was baptized 30 October 1822 - sponsors John Tobin and Margaret Newman.

Christopher's sister Catherine was baptized 6 May 1822 sponsors Mathew Murphy and Margaret McCormack

Christopher (son) was married on 30 November 1851 to Mary Fitzsimons. Witnesses were Pat King and Mary Glannon

I am visiting Ireland next month, specifically Trim and Kells. If there are any extended family members still there, I would love to meet them!

Any assistance that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Hello Lucy

    Thank you for contacting me. Unfortunately, I have not gotten any response. I was hoping that, since I have some specific information, that I might find SOMETHING that would lead to my finding any extended family still in Kells (or any other part of Ireland). I will be in Ireland next month, staying two days in Trim and I plan to visit Kells and the church that my GGGrandparents were married in. If nothing else, I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know the local people there. I am a newspaper photographer and I am planning to document the entire trip!

    Thank you in advance for anything you can do to help!
