Bridget Butler

Hi Lazuli,
John's Place is just off Emmet Square in Birr (Parsonstown)  the road is the N52  (N= National Road)

I saw the marriage 22nd August 1848

These are the Butler names in the Tithe records, so one must be Bridget's father.

For quick searching Ancestry has most records now, I am not a member anymore, you could join for a month.
Do you have Henry's  Army papers?
He may have been at Crinkill. which is just south of Birr.

1864 Civil records were introduced in Ireland, so we rely on Church records, Tithe records, Griffiths Valuation records and the Cenus records.

One Bridget Butler that keeps poping up is a Bridget Butler in Clonebrone, outskirts of Birr.

I just saw a John Taylor aged 30in 1821 in Crinkill Barracks he was a Private. about 69th down.

I hope this has helped,

Thanks so much Margo.....I will look into these suggestions. I have a copy of the marriage info.....I wish they had put a bit more information on it.....like middle names!  I didn’t know about the barracks so I will do some digging. Cheers, Kathryn

Hi Lazuli

Just to let you know I have made a few enquiries re your query but am awaiting answers.  Records in Birr R.C. Church are only recorded since 1838 so unfortunately we won't be able to find any regarding Bridget's baptism.
