That's them! As far as my relatives can remember, the Matthias Rickard I am looking for had daughters named Kate, Lucy, Christina, Maria. So the name Christina is bang on. That must be her.
I must get some of these directories.... you keep coming up with more of them!
Thanks very much for all the Rickards from 1870, none of those names ring a bell unfortunately. It is strange that Matthias Rickard is not there in Killarney, and indeed the same goes for 1867. Perhaps he had died by that time, I don't know. If he had died, perhaps that's why his wife Ann is in Enniscorthy in 1870.
This is all guesswork. I need to pin down church records somehow. He is a hard man to find!

Could you (or anyone) list the directories that would give his information, between 1850 and 1870 say?
I don't know how many there are, or their names, but I can go to a library to look them up if I know what to look for.
Thanks.

not sure which of these directories still exist - but as far as I know the best one for outside Dublin for this timeframe would be Slaters.
I dont know the exact years that it was published but I have editions on both sides of the timeframe you're after - 1846 and 1870
So I suspect they there were a few in the years in between - whether any of them survived after all this time is another question...
There are others to keep an eye out for like Pigots and 'Henry & Coughlan'..
I'd say the best bet is a library in the Kerry, or possibly Limerick area.

according to the Irish Times website (http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/records/directories/country.htm) there is a 1856 edition of Slaters.
It looks like there was a new edition published about every 10 years.

Thanks very much for the tips, and for all your help on this. I've got several clues to work on.
