i'm looking for the date of birth for my great great grandfather Patrick Conroy born 1840 Mount Mellick County Laois. He left Ireland to live in Bradford West Yorkshire and lived at time of death in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
I hope that by establishing his date of birth i can then find his parents identites.

Religion?

Is he the one in 1851 2307/368/23
With parents Murt and Mary living in Bradford with siblings?

Thanks Heywood. I’d love to say yes yes yes. I think there’s a good chance it is him and his parents but I need to find other detail to be able to confidently say that’s my man.
Much appreciated.

Heywood
His wife was Hannah. Born Leeds.
He had three children Ada Adelaide, Annie Eliza and Emily. Annie Eliza was born in India while he was serving there in the British Army and it was from his service record that I found the Mount Mellick reference.

You'd need to do some research in UK, then look in Ireland based on research results!

The marriage certificate would give you his father’s name to confirm.
Here is 1851, Bradford - family Search shows two separate entries because the census goes over two pages.
Pat Conroy 10 yrs b Ireland
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SPMD-9TL
Mart Conroy (census reads as Murt)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SPMD-S34
If this were your family - baptism is in Rosenallis parish
Pat Conroy 19th January 1840 - right hand page 4th one down
Parents Murt Conroy and Mary McDermott

According to 1851 the children are
Michael 15 yrs
Patt 10yrs
William 6 months
All born Ireland
There are other baptisms in Rosenallis parish
Michl 9th October 1836
Elisabeth 29th January 1843
Cath 22nd June 1845
You do need the marriage certificate though to confirm father’s name
