Hi List
Have just joined this list to see if somebody has come across a Carroll family out of
Wicklow. James Carroll bc 1802 married Maria Byrne bc 1817 from Kildare in 1839 in
Dublin. They had children in Dublin. William, George, John and unknown child were dead
before 1846 when Catherine and then Maria bc 1855 were born. They came to Australia in
1857 on the 'Star of the South'. Margaret was born here in 1858. If the Irish
naming pattern holds, William and Catherine Carroll I would be looking for - maybe. I had
my maternal mtDNA done by FTDNA (32CD5) and it was I. My YDNA is R1b1c and corresponds
with some Carrolls. James was my ggrandmother's father but I cannot find where he
came from in Wicklow! DNA pointed me in your direction.
Hope somebody can help
Regards
