Can you help me learn more about my Irish ancestors - William Spring and Sarah Gavan?

Question

I am really keen to learn more about my Irish ancestors William Spring and Sarah Gavan. I think they were married and I think they had at least four children (based on baptism records). I know a bit about three of their children (who moved to Victoria, Australia in the mid-1800s), but that's it! I want to know more about William and Sarah - does anyone have any pointers to where I could find some extra details?

I really appreciate any help you might be able to give me, I'm particularly keen to know more about William as we share a surname so it makes me more intrigued.

Thanks,

Clare

Answer 1

I Have looked for birth records for both,nothing found,Irish Government

destroyed so many paper records,to make paper pulp,because of paper

shortage,very few records have survived.Looked at there original marriage

document,shows no parents names.Catholic Killaloe Diocese is the place

to look.Do you suppose they came to Australia with the children.Find

my Past has good Australia records.
