Trying to find my CARR family from either Wicklow or Carlow. Richard CARR (my Gt. granddad) on joining the 65th reg. in Dublin in March 1852, gave as his birth place/address as Ballyconnell, near Carlow, near Dublin. he gave his age as 18. He sailed for NZ in 1864 on the ‘Egmont” On documentation here in NZ he has stated that his parents were Michael CARR and Joanna FLEMING and that his father was a farmer. I have found on the Irish site a christening that I THINK is his: Richard CARR bapt./birth 29 Jan 1832. Address Mullens. Parish Killaveney, County Wicklow. Denomination R/C. Father Michael CARR. Mother Judith FLEMMING. Sponsors Peter FLEMING and Mary BYRNE. Also found bapt./birth for a John CARR 27 Mar 1828, same address, father Michael CARR and Joana FLEMMING. Sponsors Patt KEATING and Kate FLEMING and also Margaret CARR, same address etc, father Michael CARR and Jany FLEMING. Sponsors Pat FLEMING and Catherine FLEMING I think they are siblings. Does anyone know this family. Where did they live, Carlow or Wicklow? Was Michael a farmer and when and where did he and Joanna/Judith/Jany , live, be born, married, died? When Richard married in NZ his first born was named John, second son Michael and a daughter Margaret. In his death notice it had” Dublin papers please copy”, so he had family back in Ireland and maybe the family were from Dublin not Carlow or Wicklow. Any help would be much appreciated Annette

Annette Carlow and Wicklow share some parish registers, and this is what you have found out, when it says "Dublin Papers Copy" it simply meant that perhaps there was not a current paper in Wicklow, Carr family name figures very highly in the area you mention, plus down at Shilelagh, Cookenno and surrounds, it also can be found in Bray so therefore I feel you have located your family and the mothers name, was often changed by a priest who had became familiar with the family. Killaveny in actual fact is covered by Co Wexford so its neither Wicklow or Carlow although linked to both the registers are covered by Wexford.

HiHave you looked at Griffiths Valuation http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation for your Michael Carr/Carr possibilities? Look also for the sponsors names as this might narrow your search.
