Hi Cindy!of the woods. Finding out who his parents were may not be easy but I would concentrate on that particular area and the Latouches of Harristown etc.. would they have any family papers in archives etc?
I came across a Bernard Devine born to Bernard and Ann in 1832 at kilcullen parish in county kildare. This is a few km from Harristown, the Latouche residence and Carnalway, your ancestors birth home so I think you can be sure they were from this neck
I also saw the birth of Dennis 1835 and Lucy 1830... not your average Catholic names! Again maybe look at the names of sponsors.. usually family or friends. Who were they? Did they stay in Ireland? In short, work with what you know for sure and learnas much as you can about Bernard in Ann, so doing might just lead you back a little further! Good luck 😉
Hello- I've been researching my GGG grandfather Bernard Divine (Devine) but seemed to have hit a brick wall.
Things I know: He and his wife and children immigrated to the US on Nov 20, 1846 aboard the Patrick Henry. His wife is Mary Ann Agar. They were married in 1829
Things I have been told : he was born in Carnalway in 1801.
I found a message on a scrap of paper from my Granddather that says: was clerk of courts in Kildare under LaTouche. Also family is related to the Divine one Huguenots of France. Can anyone please direct me on how to find out his parents and family?
Thank you
Cindy Divine
