Thanks Shane, but I don't think that that is the same one. there is another one about 4 miles from Roscrea on the Dublin Rd. I need the name of the Parish for this Town/Village so that I can find out if the records exist and if so where I can view them.

I am trying to find just exactly where ballyduff (Nr Roscrea) is and the Parish that is associated with the same place. The main problem is that there a a few different Ballyduffs and also the one I am trying to find, is definitly in Offaly but only a couple of miles from the Tipperary border where I believe Roscrea is sited. If I can determine the definite parish, I can start looking for my Fitzpatrick Ancestors who lived there in the early Nineteenth Century and probably before.

Thanks for replying so quickly. I am wanting to look at the parish records for my great x 3 Grandfather Patrick Fitzpatrick, who was born in Ballyduff, near Roscrea in 1828. He joined the British Army in 1848 and gave this info at the time. At the end of his service he moved to Leeds and settled. I also live in Leeds and want to make the trip over to the National Library in Dublin to search the Parish records to hopfully find out more, but have found it really difficult to establish the Parish so that I could check that they are available before flying over. I don't suppose you ever found out that info did you? Once I do make the trip I'll also like to see Ballyduff as well. The strange thing is, my Grandmother was born in Blackrock, Co Dublin in 1904 and moved back to Leeds a few years later.

Regards
Steve

Thank you Joe, I would be grateful. I have googled it but got football and B&B's, I wanted the nearest church.
The name Hickey is familiar to me, were they in Daingean?

[Did you ever find the Parish Church of Ballyduff, Offaly? I am now in the same situation and I am also struggling.
