I recently started a family tree on Ancestry.com and like many others I am interested to find family members. My 3rd great grandmother was Bridget Curley (O ‘Brien) born 1816 in Ireland. She was married to Kieran Curley birthday is unknown. She left Ireland with her three sons, Daniel,Michael and Thomas.  I would like to know about Kieran , when he was born and died and when they both got married. So many questions and I hope you can find some answers for me.

Thank you for your efforts

    Welcome to ireland Reaching Out!

    Looks like your Curleys came from St. Peter's parish Athlone in Co. Roscommon. I located an 1836 marriage record on the subscription site Roots Ireland. I also located two possible baptismal records for Kieran. See below. I also located the baptismal records for Michael and Daniel.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Thanks Roger, great Information and fast. Wish I would have found this site earlier.
    There is another request.
    Annie M Craven was born in April 1842 in Ireland. Hope you can find something about her and her parents ???
    Have a nice day and thanks for the great work you do

    You were fortunate that your Curley ancestors came from Athlone. Many of the parishes in Ireland do not have records back to the 1830s.

    Anne Craven is more difficult. The subscription site Roots Ireland has eight Anne Craven baptismal records from 1837-1845 but without having her parents names, we can't confirm any of these records and possibly your Anne was baptized in a parish that does not have records back to 1842. By the way, none of the records was for 1842, four were in Co. Louth, three in Co. Galway and one in Co. Offaly.
