They're pretty thick on the ground without a parish Michelle. Do you have the mother's maiden name? With 2 surnames you might crack it on the Griffiths, looking for a parish that has both surnames in it. I've been searching for my DWYERs from Tipperary for 14 years. But we never know what's just around the corner!
