Kiernan from Westmeath-Street ?

[KiernanNZ]

I was wondering if anyone can help me with info regarding my Fathers family from Street in Westmeath ?

His name was Patrick Joseph Kiernan and died in 1981 in Donegal Eire ?

Hi

Welcome to the forum. How old was he when he died? Could this be him with his family in 1911?

Hi there Blue, thanks for the info, it maybe a bit early.....I think my Dad was born 1927-28 ish in Street, westmeath and am making attempts to piece together a family tree with very limited info and a Very scatterered family to help me.....but I shall soldier on, Thank you again

Always best to work from the death/burial backwards picking up information along the way and using what you find to establish the next step back. Only by purchasing certificates can you ensure that everything is right. You can purchase relatively cheap photocopies for 4 Euros from Ireland. Street appears to be in the civil registration district of Granard. I can't find any matching birth indexes for 1927-28 but these are near matches:-
   
Name: Patrick Kiernan

Volume: 3

Within the Granard civil registration district is the Street sub-district. Both these districts cover parts of County Westmeath and County Longford. More information here:-
