Wedlock family in Co.Cavan

[Irishseeker]

New member here, looking for family who left Ireland around 1844-50, I only think they were in Cavan, Bailieborough, Skeagh. Wedlock; William and Elizabeth nee Smith. Can someone give me any leads on what to do to move ahead on my search. Are there any specific churches or libraries holding records? I sound pretty thick eh? Getting Frustrated Thanks anyway

Welcome to Rootschat. The dates are before the start of civil registration so you will need to see if church records exist. What religion were the family? Some church records are on microfilm (PRONI, Belfast or LDS- libraries worldwide) whilst others may by in local custody (the church itself).

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.

[Elwyn Soutter]

Judging by the 1901 census your family were Church of Ireland.

Griffiths Valuation of Ireland in 1856 has Wedlock households in the following Co. Cavan townlands: Drumamuck Glebe (parish of Knockbride); Clonraw and Killatee, both in Drumgoon parish.

Skeagh is in Knockbride parish. Bailiborough is in Bailieborough parish.

Knockbride COI parish records start in 1825, Drumgoon’s in 1802 (with gaps) and Bailieborough’s in 1824 (baptisms) 1809 (marriages). You can access copies in the RCB library in Dublin or at PRONI, Belfast.

Many thanks for all of those Wedlocks.Will work on them in the hopes that they are related.I have been wondering if there was census in Ireland  in the 1830s and 1840s. Again thank you for your time and help 

[aghadowey]

The first complete census for Ireland is 1901- only small fragments of earlier years for a few places survive- see CAVAN RESOURCES at top of this board for details.
