Hi. Does anyone have access to a legible version of the St John's, Waterford parish records c 1805-1810? Looking for the parents and siblings of James McNamara, baptised St John's Waterford c1806-1808. I did find a Martin McNamara baptised 13th March 1808 with parents James McNamara and Joanna Quin? Sponsors Michael Hogan and Catherine McNamara. Hoping that someone can find a record for my James McNamara around this time. Thanks. Colleen from Perth in West Aust.
Have since managed to get a marriage certificate for my James McNamara who married his 3rd?/4th? wife in Western Australia in 1861. On this certificate it says that his father's name was Patrick McNamara. Definitely from the parish of St John's in Waterford - that's on all his British Army papers. He was in the 84th Foot Regiment.

Hi, doesn't sound as though your McNamara in UK is related to mine.
I only know that my James McNamara was born in the parish of St John's in Waterford, Co Waterford c1806-1808. He actually joined the British Army and served in various places. He ended up in Chatham, Kent where he was discharged.
One daughter, Catherine McNamara was born in Limerick c1840; Bridget McNamara was born in Burma/India c1845. I believe the soldiers often took their wives with them!
My James McNamara then came here to Western Australia as a pensioner guard - ie in charge of convicts. He arrived in 1853 with both daughters and (another?) wife, Julia. He died here in WA in 1883.
