I am trying to locate the birth of Owen Grogan in Ireland
1856 possibly Roscommon. Thanks for any help

There will be no civil record of bith extant if it was a 1856 birth in Roscommon.
Your options are very limited, mainly depending on Church Records but there is a directory from 1856 for Roscommon surviving, Its the Slaters directory of Boyle, castlerea,rlphin roscommon and strokestown, it may list possible father is he had a trade.

Thank you for reply banned-dot I will have a look and see what further info I can get from this source.
Have a nice day

Does he come to England later? I only ask as there is an Owen Grogan on the UK census for 1861, 1871, 1881 etc etc - in the North of England (and listed as born in Ireland) - you probably already know this though

[ironmonger]

Thank you Echolilo. Yes he did come to England but he settled in Birmingham. Merry Christmas to youi

Owen Grogan born 1857 in Co Mayo (next door to Co Roscommon).

any good?

[ironmonger]

Thanls La Diva but his DOB is confirmed at 1856

[La Diva]

Sorry, I rechecked and the Owen Grogan I looked at was BAPTISED in 1857.

What date was he born in 1856? If late in the year, he's a possilbe! What religion was he?

[ironmonger]

Hi La Diva. Many thanks for the trouble you are taking. It is possible he was baptised in 1857. He was a catholic and thats all I have at the moment.
Merry Christmas to you and yours

It will cost 5euros to buy his birth cert.
