I am trying to locate the baptismal place of one Maria Wauhope born in Cavan in 1838. She married a James William Goulden in 1857, Sydney Australia. She died in 1868, also in Sydney. 

Many Thanks!!

  • Hi,

    Saw your other post, but just in case, I put thesame info here for you.

     The Irish Genalogy Toolkit http://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/index.html has great articles on how the records are compiled in Ireland. The guide helps a person through suggestions, pointers, and will enable your search results. Records are compiled through a large variety of repositories but depend on a variety of variables, such as immigration dates, religious preference, Township, etc... Can you track down the type of burial Maria had?

    Some records might be under a variant of the spelling This site can help to find out what spellings there are in Ireland. http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/

    I'm not certain where you are located, but there is an article found that might give some clues on how to approach the australian end of the search. http://www.nma.gov.au/audio/transcripts/NMA_Mcintyre_20110629.html

    The National Archives of Ireland has many links to further assist you in your endeavour.
