I have Dwyer ancestry. My g-g-grandmother came to Canada from Kilcommon parish, Tipperary, in 1834.
I search the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN parish, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
Co. Clare rcds aren't in the database yet. Suggest you wait until they are.
The Twigg surname isn't very common. I found only 93 B rcds dating from 1681 and 43 M rcds dating from 1716. From the concentration, it looks to be of English origin.
The Dwyer surname has 16,000+ B and 7,100 M rcds. 40% are in Tipperary, another 30% in Limerick and 10% in Kilkenny. Clares abuts Limerick on its south and Tipperary on its east.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
