Birth look-up please
« on: Tuesday 30 October 12 22:23 GMT (UK) »
Would someone be so kind and look up birth records please.
 Trying to find if William Wigmore was b. 1802 in Limerick and his brother
Robert b. 1807-bap. 1808 also I have a sister  Rachael maybe born in Limerick not sure.
Their father was Daniel Wigmore and mother Margaret Myres.
I have Daniel & Margaret married in 1799.

Thank you

There is also a James Wigmore b.1803 to Daniel & Margaret.
The Wigmore name was very prominent in East County Cork and there are 2 deaths for name William Wigmore.
1. Wm wigmore b. 1806 d. 1870. Reg District Middletown (Co Cork) age 64
Vol 9 Page 543
2. Wm wigmore b. 1814. D. ap/may/june 1890 age 76. Reg District Middletown
Vol 4 Page 482.

There is a Baptism record for a Robert Wigmore 1st Jan 1808 Saint Munchin Limerick. Parents Daniel Wigmore & Margaret.

There are quiet a few Wigmores on the Griffiths valuation mid 1800s in County Cork. :)It is very difficult to acquire records for the time period you give, if you know the parish it may be possible for baptism but Civil reg wasnt introduced in Ireland until 1864.  I also notice the denomination for the Wigmores is sometimes RC & coi :)

Thank you.
I didn't know he had a son James. Where was he born? So James must had stayed behind with his mother.
A Wigmore family member (no longer with us) did some research but there was no mention of James.
He also mention that Daniel fought in the Napoleonic War (not sure if that's right) haven't found any prove.
I see I have more digging to do. Was there more children?
