I am trying to trace relatives born in Ireland and I have Newcastle listed in one of the Census Records as a place of birth, does anyone have any information showing records/resources for this or any other Newcastle in Ireland? Carole

Hi Carole - Here is data circa 1851 from the all-Ireland IreAtlas townland search engine at the Leitrim-Roscommon website. You can likely narrow things down by doing detective work at the locations to which they emigrated - collecting records on known family members and quizzing living relatives as to family lore - North of Ireland or the South, a particular county, etc. Once you have confirmed a particular location, then you can begin searching in Ireland's CP (Civil Parish) and/or Catholic parish records, concentrating on those and the PLU (Poor Law Union, nearest large town/registration district) records. You can "google" Leitrim-Roscommon and the website will come right up, too. Has miscellaneous data on several Irish counties.
