Andrew Kirwan
« on: Tuesday 11 February 14 16:20 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find what I can about Andrew Kirwan of Rathnapish, Carlow

He was born around 1907, married Anna Stewart [b1900] and worked at Carlow Sugar Factory until he retired.
He died in 1988 in Carlow and is buried in St Mary's Cemetery right beside where he used to live.

Can anyone help with more info?  Anyone on here related to him by ant chance?

Exactly what type of info are you looking for - his ancestry or his life after marriage?

Where was he born - although he worked in Carlow he may not have been born there.

A copy of his marriage cert should give you some parental info

He should be on the 1911 census which is free at  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ but the only entry in his age range was b Waterford and has parents Michael & Margaret

Hi

Thanks for the speedy replies!

I had tried the census registers already and found the entries as listed above. I don't know where he married,as his wife was born in Derry in 1900 but lived later in Benburb.I believe he also spent time in the U.S. so he may have married there.

I am hoping someone might know the people themselvesand remember them and perhaps even know of living relatives with whom I would love to make contact.

Thanks again,and here's hoping...
