So looked for William and found 1799 Kilkenny and 2 x 1802 Kilkenny, 1803 Lough, 2 x 1803 Kilkenny and 1804. I then looked up Ballymore Co. Kildare until 1836 was part of County Dublin "in a pocket", so looking for an earlier I looked again for Patrick 1824 specifically - no record. www.familysearch.org - PILOT had both Patrick's and William's but these died in Ireland whereas Patrick went to Australia. I thought Patrick might be in the 1851 census for the UK and I have access to one that specifically identifies Irish born. No record. Here is a couple of websites for a generic search of Ireland www.censusfinder.com United Kingdom Ireland County (Kildare has little compared to other counties) www.igp-web.com County Kildare has some info. www.from-ireland.net explains land divisions by Diocese,County,Parish and Townlands.
