Michael & Anne Farrington
Hi Robert,
Are you sure that your Thomas Farrington was the same one that was born to Michael & Ann Farrington in 1837? I am quite certain that the Thomas born in 1837 remained in the Valleymount area and married there in 1876. He was from Bawnogue in Valleymount and his mother was Anne Quinn. Do you have any other info on him? I have gathered info on the Farringtons of Valleymount and may be able to help.

thomas farrington
thats a spanner in my works . no im not sure , as i cant find a marriage cert in states . all i have is A thomas farrington travelling to N Y on 2nd nov 1857 age 20 on ship australia , cant get him òn any census in states . in 1911 dublin census hes on it as born wicklow age right for 1837 .
his name cant be read on census , look for michael hanrahan at 44 long lane . i used wicklow heritage for the record which gave parents names and had assumed they were correct as i cant find any other for that date . id appreciate your help if your willing . thanks , robert
