Family Roots from Tullamor/Birr includes 1901 & 1911 census (short version) Birr 1936/37/electors list and Tullamore 1936/37.
Should anyone require a look-up for these I will oblige, please allow a few days and I will post replies on this thread,
Jack

Hello Jack, Just wondered about your look up's for these census - I am hoping to visit Tullamore at some point soon and wondered if this records are available to view in person. I thought I had read somewhere that they were not available for public searches, but could me mistaken.

many thanks

Hi,

Rody Harte (44) of Leixlip Co. Kildare was my farther. Nancy Harte was his aunt. She moved back to Birr in early 80's.

My granfarther was Michael Harte,  he married Annie Doyle of Kenmare, Co Kerry and both lived in New Road Birr. My granfarther died in 1970 and grandmother died earlier this year (aged 93), both are also buried in Birr cemetry.
 
Hope this helps,

I am looking for My gt grandfather Joseph D Armstrong who lived in Tullamore. 1911 census has him as a boarder in Tullamore. Would there be any records after this date to search. Also wondering how I could find out his dob etc from his grave. Can't find anything online. Believe they were Methodist or Presbyterian. His first wife died young and the daughter Helen Armstrong was brought up by aunts as far as I know. These could be Haslams, Morris, Kilroe, Bennett and Clarke. Would love some help

hi Lorelei,

I doubt his headstone, if there is one, has his date of birth, although it could have his age. You could also establish a probable year of birth either from his age on the 1911 census or by looking for his death cert.

familysearch have an Irish Civil index available here : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable

they cover dates up to 1958.  If you find a possible index match you can order a cert from the GRO - www.groireland.ie

the best match to a death for that name that I can see in Co. Offaly is :

 Record type: Death

 Name: Joseph Armstrong
 Registration district: Birr
 quarter / year :  Jul - Sep 1914
 Age: 64                  (est year of birth 1850)
 Volume: 3 / Page: 219

but the age does not fit with the details on the census.. could Joseph have died somewhere outside Co. Offaly ?  The census lists his county of birth as Antrim (c1887)

Thank you for that website. I was aware of the Www.familysearch Site but not the pilot search. JD Armstrong probably died around 1965 which would explain why he does not appear
Is there an authority/ caretaker of graveyards that can give plot numbers/ details?
Thank you again
