    Hi again.
    Having found out more about John Andrews, b 1810, my gggrandfather in Dublin, I now have possible parents for him via a baptism on the rootsireland site. Not certain, but likely.
    Nicholas Andrews and Catherine (possibly nee Brown.)

    The right date, and it fits with a death on Ancestry which gives his age, and also a death record on Familysearch.
    But I can't find much about them. I have of course no ages or origins....
    What I find on http://www.irishgenealogy.ie is that a Nicholas Andrews (Jnr) owned buildings and land…. in Lusk and near Howth.

    Or was this a son?

    And (from Dublin newspaper, 1838) might have been a Catholic Reverend? Not sure dates fit.
    Can anyone point me at any more info?confused.png

    Hi

    I’m not sure if it was Griffith’s valuation you were accessing. You can check it directly at

    There seems to be two Nicholas Andrews in Lusk about 1847-52 – a junior and a senior. They were neighbours on some plots, suggesting they were related. One of them may be your Nicholas. There is also a John Andrews in Lusk. The cancellation books in the Valuation Office in Dublin should indicate who took over each plot listed and when, and could indicate dates of death.

    Interestingly, the site ‘Find A Grave’ lists a Nicholas Andrews, who died in 1891 and was buried in Lusk, who had a brother named John.

    Thanks Mollymoo!
    I'd forgotten about Findagrave, and I found another Nicholas there too, d. 1869, wife Mary, son John - the brother of course.
    This could be the right one - now looking for further records.....
    Seems both owned land. But the wife would have to be a second marriage.

    I am not actually sure of the baptism...it's just the only one I have found that fits...if it is right, then my John Andrews remarried in 1872, same parents. either both are right or both are wrong!
    I do know that he moved house then, sold or let one in Bray!

    The really interesting thing here is that this seems to be a mixed marriage, John Andrews being Catholic and his wife COI. I found the marriage (after two years searching) on
