Charles Fox and Rose Reilly!!

[Betty Boo]

Hi Everyone!!!


I am trying to help a friend with her family tree but not having much luck online, can anyone help, I only have a little info she passed on to me below.

Charles Fox and Rose Reilly (don't know when they married) their son John was born in Longford, County Longford I think about 1845 give or take a few years.‏
This is all the info that was passed onto me, not a lot as you can see but any help would be very much appreciate, even if anyone can tell me where to find a website to search, tried Family Search but no luck there.

Just of bit of information so you'll know what's available in Ireland and what isn't.
Civil registration of births started in 1864 so there will be no birth certificates before then. Registration of deaths and Catholic marriages also began 1864 (from 1845 for other marriages).
Before civil registration dates you need to search for sources like church records but to do so you need to know the family's religion and where they lived (parish is not actual townland not just the county).
First complete census is 1901. Only small fragments of earlier ones for a few places survive.

Here's a few sites for Co. Longford but they probably won't be much help until you get a place in Co. Longford:

Hello aghadowey,

Thanks for your message and the information and links.

I know its difficuly if you don't have the place in Longford, I do know they were Roman Catholic and thats all really.

I will take a look at the website you suggested and see if there is anything there that could help.

I appreciate your help, thank you!!

Hi Everyone,

I have now found out Charles Fox and Rose Reilly came from Granard County Longford.  I am not sure if this helps any, I tried Family Search but nothing there.
Their son John was as I said born about 1845.

Hi Gem


That would be great if you could check your book, maybe lucky you never know.
