I am searching for the family of my ancestor Richard William Hemingway born in Dublin in 1839

I believe his parents were William and Mary Hemingway (nee Hamilton)

    Hi,

     

    Thank you for your message.

     

    Do you have any other information that you can share? Most importantly, do you know where in Dublin the family originated from? Most Irish record sources- church records, land records, census records- are based on specific locations. Until you know a specific location within Ireland, preferably a parish or placename, it may be difficult to do anything more with these records.

     

    Did Richard emigrate and if so what do you know about this emigration? Sometimes more information (including a place of origin) can be found in immigration records.

     

    Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search
