I don't think Mary Burke ever uses a donation as an incentive to look up parish records. I met her a few years ago and she was very gracious with her time taking my inquiries, and sending the info later. Like most Sacristans she is all alone with other duties to perform, and like most Sacristans looking up records comes only after her parish priorities. Sure I offered her 20 Euros which she declined at the time. Of course she works on "Irish Time" too but eventually she e-mailed me telling me that she could find no records re my inquiry.

That's her daughter!! Wow I didn't have a middle name for her. I got my data on ancestry and NEHGS. Bridget was married 7 OCT 1866 in Milford, her birth was circa 1845 according to marriage cert. She died 3 OCT. 1913 also in Milford,MA. Thanks for the middle name, I just had an initial.

Helen Have you considered doing a search for your people on the IFHF site? You can search births/baptisms, filtering by father name and get a series of result. If something of interest comes up, fine you may want to buy it. If nothing of interest comes up, as I have experienced, you can gain some confidence on your search parameters. Elimination can be a very helpful tool. John On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 2:05 PM, Helen <hdipilato@comcast.net> wrote: > Dear list, > > I have been searching for many years for a Bridget Hickey.

All these family members per my info were born on Bere Island, some I have more specifically. Feel free to email me off list if you like. How do you tie into this family?

Margaret.... We are certainly cousins! I believe I have your Mike, b. Sep 1833, son of Timothy O'Sullivan and Catherine O'Sullivan (if there is a diff in spelling I am unaware). He married Margaret McCarthy and they had 3 children that I know of: Daniel b. 1868, Mary b. 1870 and Peter b. 1872. Peter is our connection, I have all his children and am still looking at my tree for the specific connection, what with all these O'Sullivans!

Brian McCarthy, whose uncle Paddy is a well-known member of the Boston Beara Society, is hoping to begin a Beara G.A.A. (mostly football) web-site soon. I have helped him in every way I can with the history from pre-1927 (when the G.A.A.began in Beara) up to 1976. And I have no doubt but that John Murphy, Restaurant, Castletownbere, present Secretary of the Beara Board, will willingly bring him up to the present day. 'Tis many the story that is told about the characters who played football back over the years. The story is told of an Adrigole man who travelled to Cork to play for one of the city teams. The following day, being "broke" financially --- as money was very scarce at the time --- he chanced his luck for a lift back on the train from the city to West Cork. When the ticket collector arrived, our man let on to be sound asleep. The collector was about to awake him when a friend of his came to his aid saying: "Yerra, let the poor old devil sleep away there for a while. He must be dog-tired". The ticket collector passed on, saying he'd return after a while. Our man knew that he would be nabbed if he stayed there much longer so, when the train arrived in Drimoleague, he jumped out quickly and headed for the road walking (about 50 miles). Just outside Drimoleague he came across a stray donkey/ass which he duly "commandeered" and rode all the way back to Adrigole. Just before the Beara G.A.A. clubs affiliated to the Cork County Board in 1927, the Urhan junior team (then unofficial Beara champions) issued a challenge to Macroom who were the county senior football champions. The game took place in Bantry, and Urhan won by a point. Commenting on the game in the "Macroom Notes" in the Southern Star newspaper the following week, the local correspondent said that Macroom were beaten by the representatives of "that remote land" !! At the time there was very little contact between Beara and the rest of the county. Refereeing was a problem then. One young fellow refereeing a challenge match in Ballycrovane, near Eyeries, came in for some heavy threats in the first half. He decided to make a break for it at half-time, but as soon as a section of the crowd saw what he was up to, they set off after him. As he was "clearing" the nearest fence, one of his pursuers caught him by the leg. The ref. somehow wriggled loose and escaped, but he arrived back in Kilmacowen, about four miles away, with only one shoe. Most of the football togs in the olden days were home-made. A Dursey Island woman made a pair of togs out of a flour-bag for her son who was playing with Garnish. In the next game, as the Dursey man was soloing up the field in the Castletownbere pitch, printed across his backside was "Sunburst Flour, 140 lbs. net weight". Football was pretty rugged in the early days. A poetic spectator writing in the "Southern Star" Newspaper about a match played in Bantry (around 1930) between Kealkill and Whiddy Island described it in the following terms: "The ref he blew the whistle And finished up the game; And of the thirty players, Twenty-nine were lame " !! ---- Riobard. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
