I have been looking for three families that I believe might have originated in Co. Carlow: BOWE, LARGE, and KAVANAGH. Thomas Large married Bridget Kavanagh by 1826 or so, and they appear in Co. Kilkenny by then. I think this Thomas may have been married before to a woman in Carlow. One of the Large children later married a BOWE in Pennsylvania. I have been looking at Ballyknocken records since they contain both Bowe and Large families, but I am not limiting my search to that area. Would be interested in any information on any of these names in Carlow. Thanks! Deb DEBORAH LARGE FOX Read my blog for Irish research tips: "Help!
