Looking for the parish

Dear Carrotops113

Referring to your previous email, the same issues arise; that is, the early period of your search. This will make it difficult to find anything about Thomas in particular, though you may be able to find some information about the family if they didn't all emigrate.

Earliest Church of Ireland records for Hollywood don't start until 1809 unfortunately. Roman Catholic records for the parish begin in 1866, even later. There are no Steele entries listed in the Flax Growers List of 1796. The next available online source is the Tithe Applotment Books and the Griffith's Valuation.

Have you tried looking at instances of the family name on Ancestry.com family trees or messages?
