Broe/Brough of Rathfarnham Dublin
« on: Saturday 22 September 07 08:10 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any information on this family. Thomas Broe was born around Dec 1824
 in Roundtown, Rathfarnham. There are records I have seen for the 1850s and later for this parish where instances of this surname occur but I have yet to find anything for the 1820s and 30s. Can anyone please help

Anne ??? ???

Hello Anne,


What denomination was Thomas Broe (Brough)? Was he a member of the Catholic faith, the Established Church (Anglicans or Church of Ireland) or a Presbyterian?

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

I have just discovered a Broe connection in Dublin in my line.

Amelia Broe married JOhn Laphen on 10 October 1836 at St Mary's Procathedral.
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/217a090048753

unfortunately no details of where Amelia came from or of her parents.

If we do find a connection I have heaps of information of their children etc.

Establishing that connection is the challenge!! ???

these are the records relating to Thomas Broe from Irishgeneology - not sure if you have seen these. Not such from early 1800's.

Have you already seen the site which includes this page? The Anne contributor mentioned could be the person who started this thread. Lots of info on Thomas's siblings and parents John Broe and Elizabeth Brown.

Thanks John, No direct link evident from that info.

I grew up in Dublin and never heard the name Broe before ( and my parents too having grown up in Dublin are also unfamiliar with the name) so there cant be that many Broes??!!

Will keen looking

kind regards

Barbara

from the census returns, it looks as if they're mostly in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow, and Cork too.

I've some in my tree, distant 3rd/4th cousins - no ancestors.

Hi folks - dont know if this might be of any help - but re the Broe name in Dublin. I myself am tracing a branch of my dad's mother's tree and the name broe is there. There was an ellen whitty(wexford/kilkenny co. border) who married a james broe from Rathmines / Ranelagh in Dublin.  That family canbe seen online inthe irish census records. My dad recalls him visiting later descendants of the family in dublin and vice vesa. There are still broe family in south dublin - but I've not yet managed to contact them. They were in an online forum in dublin recntly- but by the time I found it registration was closed due to some misconduct Ithink - which is a pity.
Rathmines,Ranelagh & Rathfarnham are all pretty much next to each other.

regards

John Laphen and Amelia Broe were my gggrandparents on my
mother's side. I have some information on the Laphens but
very little on The Broes.

Hopefully we can share some info?  :)
