Could anyone lend some assistance to this one, my Great Great Grandfather? http://www.geni.com/profile/index/6000000003736849373?fsession%5Fid=1278329582598&from%5Fflash=1&through=6000000003736518867#/tab/overview

Daniel, Looking at your Nolan information and the somewhat scarce first names "Lawrence" and "Bernard" appearing together in your line I tend to agree with you that the Myshall baptism in 1832 would be yours i.e. parents Thomas Nolan and a Fenlon. There was a branch of Nolans in the Myshall area with the first name Bernard in the mid 1800s, hailing from the area of Rosslee townland. What I recall from this Bernard is that when he died in 1869 his widow Matilda married another Nolan, a Hugh Nolan (of Shangarry Nolan line). Bernard had two brothers that I know of, a James who lived in the Myshall area and another named John who lived in New Ross, Co. Wexford. After Bernard's death, a legal nightmare ensued which was eventually resolved in favour of Hugh Nolan who had married the widow Matilda and took in Bernard's children. There are many Nolan lines in the Rosslee townland area including my own (Kilknock-Killane-possibly Rosslee line) so research on Nolans in this area is especially difficult. I recommend that you look through the tombstone inscriptions at my website for the various Nolans buried in the Myshall cemeteries (all of which are viewable via my website). Here is a page (2 of 3) http://www.nolanfamilies.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=29&page=2 where you will find a Thomas Nolan of Rosslee buried in the new RC cemetery . The particular Thomas listed here is not the right generation to be the father of your ancestor but at least you can see that the name Thomas had a association with the Rosslee townland. I suggest that you view the other Myshall transcriptions. For example, on page 3 of 3 of the "Myshall-RC-new" cemetery your will also find a reference to a Bernard Nolan of Ballaughmore (townland next to Rosslee). There are 3 Myshall cemeteries documented for Nolans (& related families) at my website: Myshall-RC-new; Myshall-RC-old1; Myshall-RC-old2 To summarize I believe that you are in the right "ballpark". Good luck with your research and let me know if you uncover more on your Nolan family linkage to Co. Carlow.
