I am trying to trace Matthew Ronan was born in Wexford 1854/55 I do not know were he was born father Michael Ronan. Got married in1876 in Askamore church to Annie Murphy. Went to Dublin work in Guinness from 1884 died in 1913 can anyone help me to find were he was born

Do you have his marriage cert it should show residence at time of marriage - May be of help to identify a locality.

Hi There and Welcome !

If you have the marriage cert do you have an occupation for his father Michael ?

I've noticed that the surname Ronan does not feature in Askamore from around the time that Matthew would have been born !

Hi There

Can you give us the name of Matthew's daughter's in birth order as this can sometimes give leads as to names for his Mum (traditional naming patterns).

Yes Kiltilly Kilrush rang Kilrush/Askamore church No joy there

Matthews father was a Labourer. Matthews has 13 children one was my grandfather

There WERE Ronan's in Kilrush and one of the was a Michael Ronan.

Given the timeline AND the fact that Kilrush was on the marriage cert then I think the Michael Ronan of Graiguemore looks like a very good possibility !

I'm afraid that it would appear that the baptism years that you are looking for are missing : re this link !
