I am looking for any information on Patrick Downey (1868)( he was married to a Bridget Hughes). I believe his father was Bartholomew Downey (dates unknown). Hopefully can find parents names and siblings. Patrick’s daughter was Alice Downey (married name Kenny) 1896. I have information on Alice, but looking for information on Patrick. Thank you

The 1901 Census has Patrick Downey born in Co Kerry, i have looked in Kerry for a Patrick born 1863/1873 with a father Bartolomew none found, or any other children with father Bartolomew.

To find Patrick Downey you may have to search in the Catholic Parish Registers. Looking at Griffiths Valuation there are Bartholomew Downeys in 2 areas you could start with-one in Boherboy,Kanturk, co Cork which is in northwest Cork very close to Kerry border and another Bartholomew in parish of Kilcatherine, co Cork which contains part of Kerry as well particularly Eyeries which can be listed as part of co Kerry. Remember even tho' Civil Registration for Catholics began in 1864 it was a while before many registered births of children. You best bet is to try the Parish registers.
