Peter McDermott - Born Roscommon Jan 1833
« on: Friday 12 April 19 13:18 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I've traced my family on back to this man. 

Peter McDermott.  he was born in Roscommon in 1833.  But after that I'm stumped, needle in a haystack.

Can anyone point me in any direction on how to move further back?

Thanks

Hello and welcome  :)

It would help if you gave more information. Which records show his place and year of birth for example.
Did he marry? Does the marriage give his father’s name?
What religious denomination was he?

That would make him around 105 when he died?

Was this his death in 1938? https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1938/04768/4278512.pdf
Recorded age at death 99 or 94.   :-\  Informant Dermott McDermott, nephew.

During the night?


Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

It may be the same Peter who is the father of the subject in this topic

StuMacke, it really helps if you post what you already have with relevant details.

If this is the right Peter he is here:

1861 1097/111/16
Colchester Barracks
Peter McDermott 28 yrs Sergeant Army b Ireland
Ellen McDermott 21 yrs b Ireland

1881 505/154/17
Peter and Ellen with a large family living in Poplar

1891 1326 /131
West Ham
Peter b ‘Stokestown’ - presumably Strokestown

1901 still living in West Ham b Ireland

I was going to wait until OP comes back but I don’t want you to waste your time Maiden Stone searching in Ireland.  :)
