Hi

I am trying to trace my GG Grandfather James Carroll's birth place and his family. The death certificate says that he was born in Tipperary. His father was also James Carroll, his mothers name was Mary.

My GG Grandfather had a brother Edward. They were Roman Catholic. James and Edward emigrated to Australia (possibly seperately) between 1850 and 1853. 

Thank You 

Sue

  • Thank you very much for your interest in my Carroll search. At the moment I am waiting for state records to send information to me which may confirm that James Carroll was in fact a convict, will let you know what comes of this enquiry. Sue
