CURRANS/LAKES families...CARLOW
Looking for help...CURRAN/LAKES families.
Have a copy of the wedding cert of MICHAEL CURRAN,b.c1849 and ELIZA LAKES,b.c1863.They married 9th Oct.1890,in Bagenelstown.,Carlow.
Father of Michael was CHARLES CURRAN.....father of Eliza was JOHN LAKES...both were labourers.
Under "residence at time of marriage",Michael was living in BOHERDUFF.,Carlow and Eliza was living(I think..not very easy to read)KNOCKTHOMAS.
On googling Knockthomas 1863,I found there was a Knockthomas House,I think,owned by the Tracy family.
If this is the correct Knockthomas(could only find one othe Knockthomas,and that was in Mayo)why would Eliza have this as the place she lived prior to marriage?
Could her father,John,have been a labourer on the estate?Could they have lived in a cottage on the estate?
I would be very grateful for any snippet of information.
