Ohh, Anthony, now my hopes are really up. I'm just back from Ireland and had some wonderful finds....My GrGr.Grandfather Thomas L'Estrange was born WM 1836 and enlisted in the DMP 1854. I found his parents marriage in 1827 up in WestMeath, Thomas's birth record and also five siblings. I was able to visit with the parish priest and to also see the site of Thomas' birth. My wish is to find HIS [Thomas']marriage which I did not find in WM. So this leads me to believe that he married a Dublin lass. Before I went to WestMeath and while in Dublin I went to the City Library on Pearse street and scoured the marriage index for an 1860-61 marriage between Thomas and Jane McKeon. One I found was listed at Cookstown, vol 4, page 210. Would that be Cookstown for marriage in Dublin? Or are the 'locations' listed in the BMD index's under the barony names? (((I'm prepared to learn that Cookstown is a barony in Ulster or some other unlikely cty. I'll be very disapointed. ))) Awaiting your reply, Anthony. And thank you so much. Janice Boston PS....I also found 3 baptisms at St. Kevins' plus a new addition, to that family...baby Michael! So I was really pleased to plump out the family tree.

There are two, the one in south Dublin is in the Barony of Uppercross, the Parish is Tallaght. The second is in the Parish of swords in the north of the county Regards Anthony J.
