Caledon Co Tyrone .....

CathieL · Post by **CathieL** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 9:51 pm

I have Patrick Connolly/Connelly born in Caledon Co Tyrone in 1864-65.
His parents were James Connolly/Connelly and Helen McQuade but I don't know when they were married. They were Roman Catholic. I did a google search and found some information on Caledon. Given the little I do know is there any hope of finding his birth cert. or his parents marriage. His father must have died young because his mother married a Thomas Kelly in Monaghan (Castleblaney, I think) and their first child was born in 1868.
Any help at all would very much appreciated

Hello Cathie

Have you been able to move on with your search? The genuki pages give some info about County Tyrone, if you've not already found them:-

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/irl/TYR/#Genealogy

and this one might give good background:-

Apologies if you've already progressed past this point.

All the best.

Hello Liz
I have been on umptynine websites and Co.Tyrone message boards and I still have not found a place where I can get RC records for Caledon. I find the Irish sites very confusing. I am making progress (slowly) with Patrick's life in Glasgow. The man is really jarring my preserves

but I won't give up on him, I will get there eventually!
Thanks for asking
Regards, Cathie
