O'Brien Ballybacon

[Aboreal Addict]

According to John's attestation   he was born  in about July 1862 in Ballybacon parish.   He attested at Duncarion? Father Micheal and mother Bridget   there were two younger brothers Micheal and David.
I am trying to find a baptism for John initially and also details about his parents.

Thanks Wendy

where your O'Brien's RC ?

Ballybacon is the name of a Civil or Church of Ireland parish, in the south west of Co. Tipperary and on the border with Co. Waterford. Civil parishes rather than townlands are commonly recorded as place of origin on Military records. The corresponding RC parish was Ardfinnan with was also the principle town in the area. I dont see any town or townland named Duncarion or similar in the parish...

Historic RC records for Ardfinnan parish are available in the National Library on microfilm Pos. 2457
and cover baptisms back to about 1809, and marriages back to 1814, although there are some details missing for the 1820s.

Transcripts for this parish appear to be available on the pay-website at RootsIreland.

Hi Shane,  Thanks for your reply, Yes it is the same family as before  and they were RC,   but I have now received the army papers,  I wanted to make sure that Bally bacon and Ardfinnan were consistant
So I should check the Ardfinnan parish records which should be at  the national library ?

It's better to keep a query to just one thread and update it if you have new clues or search results, that way you keep all the details together, and it saves on people carrying out duplicate research.

As well as the previous replies & searches, there's details in the other threads that would have been useful to know - e.g. Bridget's maiden name, Ardfinnan parish , Cahir etc..
