Hi Ralph,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information on this family makes a connection with you.

Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find information on John without knowing a specific parish of origin and also due to the early date of birth.

It may be an idea to contact the Roscommon Heritage and Genealogical Centre to see if they can assist in any way. However please note that a fee may apply: info@roscommonroots.com

I did a search for Knotts in Roscommon in the Tithe Applotment Books. This is a land record from Ireland 1823-38.Here are the Knotts that were recorded:

Are any of these names relevant to your research?
