Law Family of Parsonstown

[xpress4]

Hello!

I have a James Law, B. 1824 Parsonstown. Joined Royal Engineers 1847 in York, England. Looking for immediate family such as parents and siblings.

Thank you,
Brenda

Religion?

Unfortunately I don't know. I searched the 1901 census for that location and there is a Margaret Law his generation listed there. Her religion was Presbyterian.

No problem.

RC registers are online...

Hi

On www.irishgenealogy.ie, there's a few Law family members listed in Parsonstown, including the birth of Susan Law in 1864 to Robert Law and his wife Margaret (nee Hunter)

In 1866 a Robert Law died, age 58.

In 1877 a James Law died, age just 17.

Could this Robert be a brother to your James?  If so, was 17 year old James named after his Uncle James, who you're seeking.

Also in the 1901 Census, 81 year old Margaret Law, a Presbyterian - who you found - had 69 year old Clara Hunter boarding, so possibly a relative.
