I would be very grateful if anyone could help me find any information on my great grandfather THOMAS BLAKE (second name could be Dominick). THOMAS was born c 1836 in WESTPORT, COUNTY MAYO, IRELAND. He immigrated to Australia c 1847.
His father's name was WALTER BLAKE and his mother's name was CATHERINE nee O'DONNELL.
Thank you so much, June

Civil registration of births in Ireland started in 1864 so for earlier dates you need to search for church records, if they exist.

Can you please advise me as to any online church records in Westport. I think he would have been Catholic if he was anything. Thank you, June

LDS have microfilmed some of the church records:
Parochial registers of Aughaval (Mayo) 1823-1905 although some is apparently difficult to read. "The Catholic parish of Aughaval, now called Westport, includes the civil parish of Oughaval. There are three chapels: in Westport, Lecanvey, and Drummin West. Aughaval is a variant spelling of Oughaval."
You can order the microfilm for a small fee from your local LDS library to be viewed there.

I live in central Australia in the Outback, so I don't think I'd have access to that help. Thank you anyway, June

Perhaps someone else will know if those church records are available online somewhere like a subscription or pay perview site.

Mayo is covered by the pay site www.irish-roots but many of the parish records start after the timeframe you are interested in.
I dont see anything for Thomas Blake - but here are the Blake Baptisms for Co. Mayo around that time :
Blake Catherine 1834
Blake Catherine 1834
Bleake Honour 1834
Blake Maurice Charles Joseph 1837
Blake Richard William 1837
Blake Henry 1838
Blake 1839
Blake Charles Joseph 1839
Blake Unknown 1839
Blake Julia 1840
could this be a possible marriage for a sibling of Thomas?
Blake Walter 1861 Co. Mayo
(on this site the index search is free once you register - it costs €5 to view a record transcript)
