MCARDLES OF LOUTH

[paul_mc]

I'm hitting a bit of a brick wall and could use an experts help......

My Great Great Grandfather was born 22 Dec 1834 in Kilcurry Parish, County Louth. I have most of his history as he then moved to Stevenson in Ayrshire Scotland however I have very very little on his parents and no idea if he had any brothers or sisters.

I believe his parents were Michael McArdle and Margaret Toole - No marriage dates no death dates and no indication if they remained in Ireland or traveled. I'm pretty confident they were illiterate and that the name was probably spelled differently over and over however even trying variations I'm still hitting a wall.

As direct ancestors this is very important to me and I'd appreciate any hints, tips or help anyone can give.

Thanks in advance
Paul

That in itself is a challenge. I have found out its Kilcurry Parish in County Louth but I have searched on the like u have provided and can find nothing......

According to online searches this might be the correct R.C. parish-

Could anyone help me with this - 6 years on and I'm still no further forward

The link about to the parish records was correct in terms of the Parish but the records weren't old enough to list the family members I'm looking for ....
