Still looking for James Lawlor supposedly from Carlow town. Born about 1788/89 Parents unknown, siblings unknown, parish unknown. Came to Saint John NB Canada about 1819. Was Roman Catholic . There is no evidence he arrived with any family members that I can find. I found this info a number of years ago on the LDS website and just tucked it away. There was a James Lawlor baptized on May 31, 1789, Roman Catholic, Killarney, Kerry, I know this isn't close to Carlow but who knows. Parents listed as Hugh Lawlor and Eliz Mahony. The date fits the era of my James. Although none of Jame's male children born here in Saint John were named Hugh, if following naming patterns. There was another son, Hugh baptized on Sept 20, 1787, same place, same parents. I was just wondering if maybe this family went to Carlow when the children were very young and this is where being from Carlow came from. Also wondering if someone else has claimed this family as their ancestor. I know it's a very big long shot but at this point I'll look at all possibilities, even the strangest. Throughout the generations here, we were always told that James was from Carlow town. The only clue we have is that when James died in April 1861, his obituary was suppose to be copied to the Carlow paper (don't know which one or if it even reached there). Barbie
