Hello,

Is it possible to find the birth of Edward Rohan born in the 1830's in Newfoundland.

Sorry do not have any other details.

1835 voter list for CONCEPTION BAY / Carbonear / Irish Town..a Patrick Rohan
http://ngb.chebucto.org/V1928/1835vl-carbonear-car.shtml
1832 voter list  for Carbonear/Chapel Hill ...an Edmond  Rohan

A will of Mary Rohan accounts for 2 of the Patricks and the James found in a cemetery listing.....no Edward mentioned
http://ngb.chebucto.org/Wills/rohan-mary-4-171.shtml

The only mention of an Edward is as a sponsor for 3 births in 1896...so helps to define the area he was in & religion if this is your Edward
Catholic Parish, St. Joseph's, Salmonier, St. Mary's Bay

The more resent censuses listed for Salmonier, Mt. Carmel have Edwards listed...so this may narrow the search

in this 1835 census for Mt Carmel...this Edward is 55...so too old to be the one in the baptisms...
http://nl.canadagenweb.org/smb_cens35moucar.htm   doesn't seem to be anything conclusive in
information online...where did you get the original information? J.J.

[Scott1940]

Thank you foryour reply.

The information came from a descendent of Edward Rohan.  The information about his birth was found on some ship records.  Rhohan's on web site could be his family.

There is this site, and I imagine you'd pay by the hour for the research, but they might find something for you...

Maybe there is something on this site? Similar variations of the name seem to be Drohan, Ronan, Rohn
