Hi Jack

As your interest is Tullamore I thought I would ask if you can help me with some research?
I am searching for the Potter family from Tullamore. Sarah Potter born 1811 married a gentleman named Smart and had a son called Thomas Born 1836 in Ireland . Mr Smart may have died as the next time I locate Sarah (in 1841) she is living with her son and twin brothers John and Henry (born 1821 in Tullamore) in Lincolnshire. Thomas Smart died in 1842 and Sarah married into my Shickell family. I suspect that Sarah and her brothers probably left Ireland at the time of the famine.

Best wishes

Hi
Thank you very much for that information; so maybe some Potters remained in Tullamore and this family are their descendants. This is purely conjecture but may lead elsewhere, did the record that you found have ages listed?

Best wishes

Sorry, no, but it is taken from the Offaly 1901 census, so if you can get access to that, then it would shorten you search time.
