Searching for Launcelot Lowther
« on: Thursday 07 July 05 21:01 UTC (UK) »
I am searching for a Launcelot Lowther who may have been born in Co Meath in 1775. We believe that he appears later on in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hello JonLowther, 

There are three items you require when searching for Irish ancestors.

1. Denomination.
2. Parish
3. Townland.

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.
