Earliest mentions are Grant Books in Dublin Diocese. Elizabeth 1604, Henry 1703 and Simon 1704. Elizabeth is probably connected to Ambrose Upton, Henry and Simon probably of the Templetown Uptons.

Earliest West Limerick mention the 1713 will of John Upton, mentioning the leasing of land in 1694. Earliest East Limerick mention 1768 a Christopher Upton voting who didn't do so in 1761.

William Henry Upton, 'Upton Family Records', 1893.

Available online. Very thorough and accurate. He generally doesn't cite his sources, but you can often guess what they are. The sources when found have nearly always corroborated his reseaerch. He uses the Visitation of Devon and seems to have visited the family tombs also. He also used birth certs, baptismal records, marriage records and wills, and interviewed some people.

4 Uptons mentioned, all in West Limerick.
John Esq - Ashgrove, 1761 - Probably Upton-3160 a few years before his death
Henry - Ashgrove 1768, 1776 - Son of above
John (Capt.), Ballinabearna(1761), Mauricetown (1768) - probably Upton-3170
Edward, Ballinabearna, 1768 - Only Edward is Upton-3256.
Samuel, Kilbreedy, 1761, 1768 - Could be Samuel Ruby, age 19 and 27, or Upton-3062, son of Samuel of Killbraher

Can see a lot of the Antrim Uptons and I think Samuel Upton and Alice Ruby of the West Limerick Uptons and others.

1660 - John - Nobody, a brother in law of a George Clerke of London who died. Clerke's son got 'his lands in Tipperary' but says nothing of what John got if anything.

Family tombs

I think it was mentioned in Upton Family Records that one set of Uptons in East Limerick had their graveyard in Rathkeale. He also mentions a 'family vault' for the West Limerick Uptons in Newcastle West. There is also a family vault in Templepatrick but Upton Family Records probably got all that info, though on the other hand it may shed light on the 'William Upton' High Sheriff of Antrim in the 17th century.

Earliest 1707 Hercules of Castle Upton, as a witness.
Also 1709 John Upton, seems to be of Limerick, but not stated explicitly, probably Newcastle West John
https://irishdeedsindex.net/mem.php?memorial=10005 1715: John Upton. I can't really understand what's going on in these deeds, but this is surely the 1694 John Upton, as it says he was Party 2 to a deed from 1699 along with Charles Conyers. John Upton married Elizabeth Conyers, who could potentially be Charles' daughter. This 1715 deed is the release of a Will by John Mansell.

13 Records
1705 Ambrose son of first Ambrose who settled in Dublin
1709 Richard - Son of Ambrose
1718 Thomas - There was a Thomas who lived in Dublin, maybe him. Doesn't say age or Dad's name, just that he died in 1733.
1724 Samuel - Son of Samuel, of Charleville, Co. Cork, age 17 so b. 1707. Most fits Upton-3062, son of Sam who married Alice Ruby, but I thought he was in Glenstar. Says he was called to the bar in 1725. UFR says he died in a house fire. Says his father was an 'Armiger' which seems to be a squire or an arms-bearer but I dunno how that works in the 18th century.
1783 Shuckburg Whitney - Ancestor of the Genealogist Upton
1788 Clarges - WHU p117, son of Chris/William Upton and Ms. Clarges. gs of Ambrose, graduated 1705
1789 Michael - age 20, so born 1769. Son of Christopher, a farmer of Co. Limerick. Very interesting but no idea who he is. Must've been Protestant cause no Catholics allowed. Maybe son of the Christopher voting in East Limerick. Cloyne Uptons have Christopher/Michael names, it says Limerick but could be the same.
1812 Whitney - Of the Ambrose line
1812 William - I know his dad's name but not his connection to the rest of the Uptons. Could be son of above Michael graduated 1789.
1813 Christopher - Son of Upton-2765, has no wikitree profile himself
1815 Henry - Says son of Whitney but this Whitney doesn't have a son Henry, dates match though. More likely referring to Shuckburough Whitney who's oldest son is Henry.
1818 Francis - b. Limerick Son of William, a tax inspector. Dunno who this is.
1822 David - Son of William Bayly in Tipperary

Civil Records

Began around 1864, slightly later for Catholics. Go until around 1945. Marriages (which mention father), birth (mentions mothers maiden name), death (mentions the witness to the death, which is often a family member).

Catholic Records

1000s of records, findable via findmypast.com. Catholic records are all mostly online.

Protestant Church Records

Don't know how much of this exists. A lot was destroyed in the PRO fire of 1922. Ballingarry is the relevant parish for the Uptons in Limerick, Templepatrick for the Antrim Uptons. These and others has been transcribed onto rootsireland.ie.

Public Records Office Northern Ireland

Fair amount of miscellaneous records including the enfeoffment of Capt Henry who took the lands in Antrim. Another interesting item is the documents of George Upton of Templepatrick in the 1800s, it may shed light on whether the Uptons who came to live with him from Limerick were related or not.
