Daly's of Roscommon
« on: Wednesday 06 April 16 19:22 BST (UK) »
Hello

I've reached a bit of a dead end researching my family in County Roscommon. My great-great-great grandfather was Thomas Daly, who was born c.1847 in Co. Roscommon. His father was recorded as Duminick Daly on his marriage certificate, but I presume this is a misspelling of Dominick. In the late 1860's he enlisted in the Royal Irish Constabulary, and was posted to Co. Armagh. There in 1869 he married Bridget Murphy in the R.C. chapel in Cullyhanna. They left for England soon after, giving birth to their first son John Thomas Daly on the road in Barronstown, Co. Louth. They had settled in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire by 1871.

If anyone has any information/is researching the same family, I would be hugely grateful if you got in touch.

L. Daly
