Hi
I don't know if this helps but I have a Thomas Carroll in my family tree.
He was born in Rush, Co Dublin, Ireland in 1850 ish (his babtism was 3 May 1850).
His parents were Michael Carroll and Eleanor Russell.
Thomas was one of ten - 2 girls and 8 boys - 2 of the boys stayed in Rush, my father
thinks these were the only two males who didn't emigrate. Some of the boys emigrated
to Australia/New Zealand but there is an American connection too, in particular and
Elizabeth Carroll from New Orleans, who erected a gravestone for one of the Carroll males
who stayed in Rush. There is also a connection with a Bulger of New Orleans.
Does any of this sound familiar
