Can anyone tell me if there is a St. Bridget's Church, Old Castle, Westmeath? I found a reference to it on GenForum, saying that there were many Gaynor records there. The only place that I can find that comes close on the maps I have is Oldcastle in Meath. Thanks, Ted

All Irish researchers should be using www.local.ie and then click on the county site and get the town. They have added much information and be sure to double check to the left and use the history click . and then use the Lewis Topography site for the information on the town. very helpful..You can see y our town in pictures too. Charlotte Smith

Jane- besure to click on History to the left of the site on Delvin and then go to the Lewis topography info site and there is where the history of churches etc is.

Vi and Ted Schmitz: If you will go to www.local.ie and then to Meath and then on the blank put in Oldcastle you will get to the Oldcastle site. Then go to the History on the left and click and then go to the Lewis Topograpfy map. It has a detailed info on the town and the churches and dioceses etc to help you find out where to look. Meath and Westmeath are next door to each other.

If you will go to the www.local.ie then click to Westmeath and then on the towns click to Delvin and scroll down you will see information on the history of Delvin and in this it gives the parishes and churches which will help you identify..one seems to be Castlewtown-Delyn and othe oher Killulogh. also click on the pictures of Delvin and see the church.

I'm researching the name of Murtha or Murtagh, Doyle, and Barry. I'm broadening my search to the Delvin area and am wondering if anyone knows what Catholic Church records are available either at LDS or in Ireland. Any other information about research in the Delvin area would be appreciated. Thank you, Jane in CA

Likewise the British indexes which start much earlier 1837 to 1992 for the same names with usual variations Stringless help is offerred. I'm listening...

Does anyone know what year Griffith's was done for Westmeath? Specifically the area of Clonmellon?

Sorry, but no I don't know where Owen came from in Westmeath. Valerie Kronk.

I now realize that the Transcriptions email addressed to a Jane was sent to the whole list, not just to me! I'm sorry about that. Jane N.

Dear Listers, I'm new to this list so I thought I would post my interest in County Westmeath. My gggg grandfather I believe is:- Owen TIERNAN (TIERNEY) Born: c.1780 Sentenced to 7 years transportation in Leinster in 1810. Transported aboard the "Archduke Charles" which left from Cork on 15 May 1812 So if anyone could be connected in any way and could enlighten me of his family in Ireland I would very much appreciate it. Regards, Valerie Kronk, Toowoomba Australia
