Muldoon/Dunleer County Louth

[Shiloh0526]

I am trying to obtain information on my G Grandfather's parents.  I have found  my G Grandfather Peter Muldoon's Birth information off of Family Search:

Peter Muldoon
Birth:  05 May 1865 0443, Dunleer, Louth, Ireland
Parents:  Father, Patrick Muldoon
                Mother, Anne Cluskey

Another Child:
Anne Muldoon
Birth: 08 Jun 1869,  Louth, Ireland
Parents:  Father, Patrick Muldoon
               Mother, Anne Cluskey

Also, my Mother has mentioned Ardee as well.  I believe they were Roman Catholic.  My mother also remembers her Grandfather, Peter Mulddon saying that he had a brother named Patrick, but I cannot find any info on any other siblings other than Peter and Anne.

My G Grandfather Peter Muldoon died in Liverpool, England in 1943. 

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Shiloh

The extracted records on FamilySearch are not 100% complete, so there could be other births not listed. Most of the details are from civil records - so details of births before 1864 would not be included.

You would have to check records for earlier details - Dunleer and Ardee are separate but neighbouring parishes. Dunleer baptisms go back to 1847, those for Ardee go back to the 1760s with a few gaps.  Records are available on the National Library on microfilms    Pos. 5602 (Dunleer) and Pos. 5601 (Ardee). Copies are also available in PRONI.

The pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation at www.rootsireland.ie has transcripts of some Co. Louth RC parishes.

Peter Muldoon
Birth:  05 May 1865 0443, Dunleer, Louth, Ireland
Parents:  Father, Patrick Muldoon
                Mother, Anne Cluskey
....

in case you wish to order a civil birth cert then these are the details you need (note the page number is the same as on the extracted record you found) :

  Name: Peter Muldoon
  Registration district: Ardee
  Event type: Birth
  Year: 1865
  Volume: 7 / Page: 443

Ardee is the Superintendent Registrar's District (often called a registration district) which covers the town, and sub-district of Dunleer.

A research cert could give you a few more details such as the informant of the birth, occupation of the father, and possibly a more detailed address.

Shane,

Thank You for the info and assisting with my search.

If you check the free advanced search on RootsIreland there are 6 possible Muldoon/Cluskey baptisms between 1840-1880 that might be worth checking. 5 of these are in Dunleer RC parish.

Experimenting further with the advanced search shows a possible marriage for Patrick and Anne in Dunleer RC parish in 1856.
