Hello,
Can any one find the birth of a William Henry
born in Sligo in 1849.These are the only details
i have (clutching at straws me thinks).
Thanks

Hello Mel,

Griffith's Valuation of Co. Sligo in 1858 shows several Henry families. There were nine Williams which might be worth a look ... if William was not named after his Dad or Grand Dad or if the family had emigrated prior to that date it could be a difficult search.

Hi Mel,
I have been doing research on my family (Lundy) and I think my great-grandfather was Dennis (Denis) Lundy of Aclare.  He married a Margaret (Margeret) Henry.  It is not clear whether or not William my have been Margarets' father.  Dennis and Margaret had a son, my grandfather, James Aloysius who was born 1869 or 1870 or 1872. 
I am sorry I don't have any dates for Dennis or Margaret that might help you zero in on William Henry.  I hope what little I have will help.  If you have anything on the Henry or Lundy family I would appreciate a heads up.
