Laois (Queens) / Larkin/Fallon
« on: Monday 06 August 12 20:31 BST (UK) »
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. I'm trying to find information about my Larkin ancestors and I've checked a lot of Laois records with no luck so far.
My g-grandfather was named Joseph Larkin, born 1827, and one of his children's baptism record (Roman Catholic and in Latin) says that he is from "Hibernia (Queens)", which I'm assuming means the Laois of today.
His marriage record says that his parents' names were Patrick Larkin and Mary Fallon and that's about all I know. I have no knowledge of any siblings or his life before his marriage here in Ontario, Canada (1861). Census records indicate that he came to Canada in 1855.
If anyone has any recommendations for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
