Hello all
I have been stuck on my family Tree now for a while due to fact my Great Great Grandfather was born in Ireland
I live in Australia & know that my GGGF (William Holmes) married here in Sydney in 1878 & his Marriage certificate stated that he was born in Ireland & that his Parents names were Michael Holmes & Honora Foley
On discovering his Death certificate I found he was from Ardmore, Ireland which I hoped was Ardmore, Waterford however RC records from this county show up Nil records according to one of teh search agencies over there
His Death cert stated his Fathers name was Samuel however I tend to believe it was Michael as per his MC due to fact he was alive at that time to verify this
His DC stated he had been in Aus for so many years which indicates he arrived around 1877 (1 year before marriage) but I can't for the life of me find any means of searching when or where he arrived
Would anyone know where I could search for such arrivals into Australia for around this year? I believ he was unasisited due to nothing showing up in the assisted lists & think he was born around 1856-57 according to age when married & death but it is almost impossible to find any information for the Ireland side of things unless I have the County
Does anyone know if there are other towns called Ardmore in Ireland apart from Waterford?
Thanks in advance
John
