I have recently discovered that one of my ancestors PETER CARROLL was from Westmeath. I do
not know much about the fellow but here are the few meager scraps I have been able to put
together. His birth year is any where between 1810 and 1823. He came to the United States
and lived in Brooklyn, NY. I have found him there as early as 1860 with his family. Since
1860 does not give relationships to the other individuals living in the household, I am
going to believe that most of the children are his (I know that one is not) and she was
born in NY in 1853. So that puts Peter in the US around the early 1850's. He marries a
woman named Delia (don't know if this is 1st or 2nd marriage) and that in Dec of 1867
he dies in Brooklyn. The obit states that he was a native of the county Westmeath, Ireland
(no town noted). This is all I have found.
Does anyone have access to baptism records or marriage records for this area or could give
me some advice on my next step?
Thanks,
Joan
