Leitrim-Roscommon

Hi all,

Am a complete novice with tracing Irish ancestry so any help and tips welcome.

I'm looking for 2 families in Roscommon, not alot of information to go on but here goes.

Keogh family
Thomas born c1835 his father was also Thomas a shoe maker. Thomas junior came to England around 1850 to settle in Walsall Staffs

Naughton family
William Naughton c 1815(shoe maker) and his wife Margaret
had 3 children Mary c1837,Martin c1839 and John 1841. from the censuses born in Roscommon, the family moved to England sometime around 1850 and also Settled in Walsall.

Thanks very much for that, I would never have thought of searching with those names. something to try and work on

Sorry back with another question,

am particulary interested in the first lot you found,would Brigida be a similar name to Bridget? Where exactly did you find them please? I know my Mary Naughton married in our local RC chapel so could be that one, and she called one of her daughters Bridget

Thanks
