Dear Ken:
I found a number of Carrolls near Allenwood, County Kildare off R403. If you do not have
one, you need to get the Discovery Series Map #49 to see all the townlands and details.
There is a "Carroll Tyre" and a pub/undertaker located at Allenwood Cross Roads
(intersection of R403 and R415). The owner of the pub is Liam Carroll. Liam told me that
his family originally came from County Offaly. The Carrolls at "Carroll Tyre"
replaced my wrecked tire on my Nissan Mini in less than 10 minutes. They were friendly
and somewhat interested in geneology. I suggest you look in the
eirephone.com and just
call the Kildare Carrolls and you may find that they are interested in speaking to you.
Otherwise, you need to make a trip over there and plan to spend at least three days
getting them to warm up to you. I find that it takes a little time to get them to open
up. Us Americans are very impatient and are always looking for immediate results. It
does not happen like that over ther!
