I am trying to find out about my ancestor, Roger Somers, from Fairymount, Roscommon. I don't have any BMD dates for him.

He was married to Ann McCormick, they had a son, John, born 1839 & a possible son,Henry.

John Somers was the father of my Great Grandfather, Edward Somers  1856-1943. I think John was married to Ann Watson.

I would be grateful for any information.

Thank you

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    The subscription site Roots Ireland has baptismal records for seven children of Roger Somers/Summers and Ann McCormick/McCormack: Catherine 1833 Margaret 1835 John 1839 Henry 1841 James 1845 Thomas 1845 (likely died young) Thomas 1847 The oldest and youngest records are shown below.

    The Fairymount RC records start in 1833 so there could have been children before Catherine. I also did not find the marriage record.

    I did not see any Somers/Summers records in the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Tibohine civil parish.
