My 3 x Great Grandmother and Grandfather came to Scotland (Stirling) from Ireland .... their names were Bridget Thornton (various spellings) born approx 1821, and Walter Adams born approx 1811
They may have been Roman Catholics, John their eldest son (my 2 x great grandfather) married in Stirling in an R.C church this obviously dosent confirm that the whole family were R.C ... Bridget and Walter had three known children whilst living in Ireland: John born about 1841, Mary 1845 and Patrick 1849 ..... I am trying to ascertain what part of Ireland they were from, and wondered if anybody can give me any idea how I do this
Have tried looking for a marriage for Bridget and Walter with no succcess .. They went on to have at least a further three children in Stirling and the first Scottish census records I have found them on is in 1861. Any help would be appreciated
