Hi
It’s nice to meet someone else having fun with these lovely Landscapes Irish families!
My grandmother and her Irish family ended up in Salford and Manchester.
However it became clear that they did not come to Salford first,
The Roman Catholic Church they used first only had records from a couple of years after they came
For possibly this reason and others especially family they were still having baptisms and marriages in Ireland
I found a group of families who appeared as witnesses on those RC baptisms and marriages and many of them turned out to be related
The same group including some Carroll’s repeatedly turned up together having baptisms in Ireland
You may be able to pursue similar avenues
In my case my first discovery was that my ggrandmother Anastasia Hoey was born in Heywood. Her parents were married in Bury C ofE. I found some children but not all baptised in Heywood RC. Also many godparents including Carroll’s.
They then went to Salford but the missing baptisms remained a mystery.
Eventually knowing her father John Hoey was born in Dublin with the help of the net I found two missing baptisms at St Michael Dublin. complete with referrals to the mother of HeywoodUK.
To my surprise there were also other events to other Hoeys and people related to them
I’ve also found links before that. Including cousins/ aunts from Dundalk and possible links to a group of Hoeys around Castlebellingham. I’m still chipping away. Like you many went to America.
The best Irish links were Irish genealogy, the big sites such as Ancestry and good old Rootschat
Just a few ideas. Is it worth trying Heywood? Latest Irish records? Back to Ireland? Some of my best clues were from looking at the whole group of Hoey saddlers and the godparents
Also a kind person checked the slow led 1851 census for Salford and that’s where I got my Dundalk and Cassidy link from
I hope you see an Avenue here you haven’t tried
Sorry it’s a bit rambled but you so want to give any one bogged down with these lovely people!
Good luck
Emms
