Hi , I have for weeks been trying to find out about my G/grandparents who I belive lived in Roscommon my grandad's name was Lawrence Nugent b. 1877 d.1961 was married to a Teresa smith b.1879 d.1952 .from Kildare. I have tried to look at the Roscommon census ,but got nowhere. thanks for any help I can get . Margaret Newman.

Margaret, I was going to look at the 1881 census for you on Family search. That wouls probably give you the names of Lawrences parents if they are still alive as he would only have been four years old. Unfortunately the Family search site seems to be down as I can't get onto it. You could ask for help from someone who has the 1881 disc if you can't access the site yourself. ann Glos

I also tried to get on to familysearch, but when I tried to search it came back with, unable to search error SEA-001. I will search for you once its working again. Lucia

Margaret, Now accessed 1881 but there is no Lawrence Nugent on there born 1877. Several male Nugents were born in 1877 but I have a geographical problem as I don't know where Roscommon is. Is it Ireland? If so I am not sure if the 1881 on Family search covers Ireland. Ann Glos
