Rickard/Duignan and Farrell/Smyth (Killaconnigan/Kildalkey)

[laochrione]

I'm been researching Luke Rickard and Ann Duignan of Killaconnigan/Kildalkey. They had one son (that I have a record for), my great grandfather Thomas. He was born in 1858 in Kildalkey and died in 1938 in Shallon, Co. Dublin. The only record I have for his mother Ann Duignan is his baptismal record. I am unsure as to whether my grandfather Luke may have married twice. As such I can find no other definite siblings for my grandfather Thomas.

I am also researching William Farrell and Mary Smyth from Kildalkey. Mary was born in 1841 in Dunderry to Thomas Smyth and Mary Garry. According to his military records, William was born in 1818 in Kildalkey. He spent many years in the East India Company Army before retiring home to Kildalkey and starting a family with Mary. They had eleven children:
Patrick (1861)
Thomas (1862)
Peter (1864)
My granny, Kate (1865)
Mary (1867)
Mary (1870)
Michael (1873)
James (1874)
Anne (1876)
Henry (1878)
Bridget (1883)
All were born in Clonbarron, Kildalkey
William died in 1896 and Mary died in 1919 in Clonabarron, Kildalkey.
My grand parents Thomas and Kate married in 1888 in Kildalkey. Kate died in 1934 in Shallon, Co. Dublin.

If anyone has any information on either of these lines I'd most appreciate it. If anyone is descended from any of William and Mary's kids, I'd also love to know.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

where do you have Thomas' baptism?

heywood

Thomas' was baptised in Kildalkey in Sep 1858. His Godmother was Mary Bligh.

That must be why I can't find it- is it on RootsIreland?

[laochrione]

It is. Are you related to him?

[heywood]

No  I am trying to help you and thought that if the parish records were online I would search around them in case there were mistranscriptions.

Oh you are so good! Thank you for the thought. The Kildalkey records are only available on RootsIreland or through the Meath Heritage centre, which is a bit of a bummer.
When I come across people looking for information from the Kildalkey parish I will always try to help as it costs a few bob to get the subscription.
