Hello Ann,
I was going back over some old Rootsweb postings and I found one of yours that I replied to last year. Then I read further on in your posting and saw that you wanted to be contacted directly at your e-mail address, and I didn't do that - I just replied to Rootsweb. So maybe you didn't read it. So I tried to send it again just now direct to your e-mail address and it came back. So I'll post it as a reply again, and hope you get it.
Anyway, I've been researching Dollards in Ireland for several years. Mostly, they come from the Kilkenny area, but mine came from North County Dublin. I had a Mary Dollard who was my gr gr gr grandmother. She was married in 1795 in Skerries to Patrick Seaver, and their son Patrick immigrated to Australia in 1864. I am an Australian, now living in New Zealand. I have been trying for years to establish ary's family line, and although I know of several relations, I still don't know her parents. She had an Uncle Patrick Dollard living n the Skerries area in the late 1700's, plus other uncles, aunts & cousins. She came from the Skerries parish according to her marriage certificate. Patrick was a common Dollard name. Your Patrick was born in the same generation as Mary's children, and I notice you have a Mary also. Have you found what part of the county they came from?
I hope to hear from you. Good luck with your research!
