Report on the O'Carroll Family of County Offaly

We conducted a search of the Roman Catholic parish records of Kinnitty where we were successful in locating your ancestor Patrick O'Carroll's baptismal record. We then extended the search to the surrounding Roman Catholic parishes of Seirkeiran, Kilcormac, Eglish, and Banagher/Cloghan in an effort to possibly locate any further information relating to your ancestors but unfortunately these parish records did not provide any further information directly relating to Patrick Carroll. There were a couple of Carroll families located in the Roman Catholic parishes of Eglish and Banagher only, but unfortunately none of the records appear to relate to your family history.

Your report also contains maps showing how Co. Offaly is divided up into Roman Catholic parishes and civil parishes. We're also enclosing a more detailed map of Kinnitty parish showing the townland of Forelacka where your ancestor Patrick O'Carroll originated. We've also highlighted the townlands of Sheskin where it appears his family resided prior to living in Forelacka townland. We have also highlighted the townland of Spink where the O'Carroll family later resided.

Please note where variants of spelling occur through your report, these spellings are taken exactly as given in the registers and records available to us. The variation in name spelling was often due to phonetic registration of the name by the priest.
