Find Ancestors

Many thanks for your help. The 1851 on FMP was very useful - Benjamin senior was a coast guard and the famly were living in a Martello tower. One of Banjamin's grand daughters was named Doris Bulstrode Mathews, sadly, she died at a year old.

Once again, many thanks

I doubt you'll find anything as the bulk of early Irish records were destroyed

BUT.......try

https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

In years gone by, one would have suggested familysearch, but that site is useless now

and Rachael Bulstrode or Strode in about 1836.. First child Frances Elizabeth born Cork between 1836 and 1839 but not with parents in 1841. Second child Adam born about 1839 Ireland on 1841 with parents.

Have other children born latter in England and others censuses.

Its just the marriage and birth of first two children.

Many thanks
