Dear List Members, I have recently joined this list in the hope that I may be able to find out about my Great Great Grandmother's family. Her name was Catherine CARR. She was born in Tipperary about 1846. I have no further information about where or when she was born. Her parents were James CARR and Mary DOWNIE. This information comes from Catherine CARR's marriage certificate. She married Kenneth KENNEDY a widower who was born in Scotland in 1881 in Dunedin, New Zealand. Although the KENNEDY's were Presbyterian, Catherine was buried in a Catholic cemetery and the minister who officiated at the service was a Roman Catholic. I have searched the IGI and have not been able to find a record of Catherine's birth or Baptism. Nor have I been able to find a record of her parents marriage or the birth of any possible siblings. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Christine
Hi Christine, I collect Carr marriages in Tipp and don't have yours as Downie, but I have something close that you might tuck away. In 1840 James Carr married Mary Donnell in Galbally; they may have lived in Tipp after that. Could be, however, that it was a C of I marriage and I don't have all of those.
