Hi Twinshoes
You mention getting back further than 1850
I'm only back as far as 1832 for my own family tree ( Cootehill side).
I got census 1911 & 1901
Valuation tenements 1856 give names & townland its useful.
Before that tithes 1832 but they only give names not much detai.
That's everything I can get on paper
The church records I haven't looked at many..There used be books in Priests house Cootehill.i went there once for a cert but wasn't able go through books myself.
Alot my ancestors buriel plot is Middle Chapel but headstones are on but not all names..I don't know name of our previous Catholic church.
I know St Michael's Cootehill the grave yard is very recent perhaps late 1980.s
There are birth marriage death records over Cavan town at entrance to Cavan hospital the staff again go through books I was at it years ago they charge a small fee per cert.
If you want Church of Ireland or other religions contact J Smyth.
I can't get any more paper records that's why I tried the DNA tests
Best Regards
SM
