More records from the petty sessions courts released

FindMyPast Ireland has added another huge tranche of records to its Irish Petty Sessions Court Order Books collection. It brings the total number of these records now online through the FMP database to around nine million.

This latest upload consists of 2.4million entries covering the counties of Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Leitrim, Limerick, Louth, Mayo, Monaghan, Offaly, Roscommon, Tipperary, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow. Details are below.

If you haven't previously delved into this collection, you really must! If you find an ancestor within, you're quite likely to get some great additional information about them, or at least a bit of colour or insight into his or her personality or life. And right now is a really good time to make that move, because FindMyPast.ie is currently offering a free trial and, if you opt for the Worldwide or Britain&Ireland collection, there's also a 15% discount on subsequent subscriptions. Click the image and follow the tab to the 14-day free trial for more details.
