I am researching the family of Patrick McCormack (Ireland 1811- 1868 Nottingham) and his wife Catherine (Bridget on one census) Hewes (1820 Ireland - c 1875 Nottingham).

From the English censuses from 1851 to 1911 I have ascertained that they had at least four children in County Mayo before moving to Nottingham in around 1850, (approximate dates); James McCormack (1840), Roger McCormack (1841), Michael McCormack (1847) and Mary McCormack (1849).

While all the above specify County Mayo as their home County in at least one census , only Mary names her town of birth as Ballinrobe. In 1911 she was a widow living with her brother John McCormack (1855 Nottingham) and his family in Grove Street Nottingham as Mary Gallagher Sister 62 born Ballinrobe Mayo.

I am keen to find the Irish records of all the above but don't know where to begin. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Richard

Can't see anything for them on irishgenealogy.ie, nor on FamilySearch or Ancestry (pre-1851).

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Bear in mind that vast quantities of older Irish records have been destroyed at various times
