My Thomas was born about 1807 in Kells, though I can't find his
baptism. I've got him marrying Lizzie Smyth in 1841 (see below) in
Kells Parish and I've got his children's baptism records. Michael is
in the Griffiths in Drumbarrow renting from Robert Woodward and
subletting to a Casserly. There's a Patrick Carolan in Griffiths in
Townpark and a James Carolan in Cannonstown. I am quite sure they
have a parent or grandparent in common.
According to Catholic Church records from Kells parish, County Meath,
Thomas Carolan married Elizabeth Smyth (est. 1817-1875) on July 2,
1841, with Ann Ferly and Mary McEvoy as sponsors to the marriage.
Elizabeth's parents were likely John and Mary Smyth, who appear as
sponsors at the birth of their son. Born to couple were Catherine on
November 23, 1842, Michael on July 24, 1844, and Ann on July 29, 1846.
Lyndsay, do you know any of the Carolans in Kells today?
