Barb, I assume that you have picked up on the following early Lawlor baptisms from the RC Cathedral in Carlow town. These were recently posted to the Carlow website. They may be of interest: 1778 7 16 Charles of John and Rose Lawlor Micheal Lalor and Judy Hughes Tullow Street (RN: Tullow St. is in Carlow town and would be consistent with your family's oral tradition that "James was from Carlow town". Note also the alternate spelling "Lalor" which you may want to explore further.) 1779 7 11 Margaret of Michael and Elizabeth Lalor Mr Nowlan and ? With best regards, Roger Nowlan http://nolanfamilies.org P.S. My Canadian roots are also in New Brunswick - Buctouche area, NB, circa 1818. In 1784, the name "New Ireland" was almost adopted for New Brunswick (NB) and it was a very popular destination for many early Irish emigrants up until around 1830. Many moved on from NB to other destinations in Canada and the US. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barb Pattman" <bpattman@nbnet.nb.ca> To: <irl-carlow@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 7:23 PM Subject: [IRL-CARLOW] Roll call LAWLOR > Still looking for James Lawlor supposedly from Carlow town.

Hi Roger, I did see the posting on the Carlow website. I keep going back to it to see if I have missed something. James was a cooper by trade here in Saint John, then a limeburner. I have the baptism records of all his children, born in Saint John and not one Lawlor is a sponsor so that is why I am assuming that he arrived here alone. I would love to know if his obituary ever made it to Carlow but that is another needle in a hay stack. James is on my Dad's side of the family. I also have Lawlor's on my Mom's side. They are not related that I can find. Mom's side didn't arrive until around 1830 supposedly from Queens Co., this is another brick wall. I'll keep reading all the emails people send and maybe someday there just might be a connection with someone. Thank you for your response, appreciate it.
