Hi Rootschatters,
I am trying to follow up on Peter Carolan and his family from Castlering, Parish of Louth. Peter’s Father was also a Peter Carolan and his Mother Bridget McCabe. Their religion was Catholic. Both Peter's occupation were Farmers.
Would be grateful for any information on any other siblings from the Carolan/McCabe marriage which would have occurred about 1810+ or anything at all on the Carolan family from either Louth or Monaghan.
Peter had a brother Bernard who’s information follows:
