Place of birth in Croom, Limerick - GRAY

[Liviani]

Looking for help in identifying the place of birth for Jessie Helen Gray, entry 113 in the snip.

Her parents are Patrick Gray, a farmer and Jessie Gray formerly Ramsay.

Thank you!

I suspect the place of birth is Kilderry with a very messy K, same as her older sister Elizabeth

Great thanks. Just looking into this line. Patrick stated he was born in Perthshire, Scotland in their census. Mother Jessie was born Kirriemuir, Scotland. Just wondering if Patrick's line came from Ireland initially. They moved back to Scotland sometime between 1872 and 1874 when their next son, John was born Findo Gask, Perthshire.

Agree with athacliath62 

Kilderry split into two adjacent civil parishes east of Croom.

Great, thank you! I wonder why they moved from Scotland to farm over there for a while? Patrick Gray and Janet/Jessie Ramsay married in Tipperary in Oct 1863.

EDIT: They got married in the "Scots Church" in Tipperary there.
