Kevin, You can search by place name. Enter the townland name and the county, barony, union, and parish. Put in all the information that you know and leave the rest out. If it does not give you the option to put all those items in the search, it is not working properly. Give it an hour or a day and come back to it. Also, if it tells you it can't find it, come back later and try again. Yesterday, that happened to me. It could not find something that it had just found a half hour earlier! They are still working on the site, so be patient. If you can't find the townland, look for the name and go back later and look at the townland.

I googled "Kilcaskin," and found the following site: http://www.from-ireland.net/cor/lewis/k/kilcaskin.htm HERE IS WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT THE CIVIL PARISH OF KILCASKIN: "This page is part of an Irish genealogy web site 'From Ireland' ©Dr. Jane Lyons, Dublin, Ireland. County Cork Ireland CIVIL PARISHES Kilcaskin   described in Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837 KILCASKIN, a parish, in the barony of BERE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 16 miles (S. S. W.) from Castletown (Castletown-Berehaven) ; containing 4600 inhabitants. This parish, which extends for more than ten miles along the shore of Bantry bay, comprises 35,701 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £3295 per annum. The greater portion is wild and mountainous, and not more than one-sixth is under cultivation; several of the mountains afford pasture on their sides and summits, but others are rocky and barren. The loftiest is Hungry hill, 2160 feet above the level of the sea, and remarkable for its singular and picturesque waterfall, which, descending from a height of nearly 800 feet and frequently broken in its fall by ledges of projecting rock, forms a magnificent and beautiful cascade; the water issues from a lake near the summit, and after its descent passes by Ardrigoole and falls into the bay. Four miles to the east of this mountain is the large Sugar Loaf, which is 1112 feet high; and of the other mountains in this parish, the principal are the Knocknafouka, the Ghoul, and the Esk: along their summits runs the boundary line between the counties of Cork and Kerry. In this parish is also part of the romantic and celebrated district of Glengariff, comprising the eastern portion, and the scene of a hard-fought battle between the English forces under Sir C. Wilmot, and the native Irish under the Prince of Bear and Bantry, in which the latter were defeated with great loss. (A more detailed description of Glengariff is given in the article on Kilmacomogue.) The principal seats are the Lodge, the handsome residence of the Earl of Bantry; Reemeen Cottage, of R. White, Esq.; and Reen Lodge, of the Rev. R. H. Wright. There is an extensive slate quarry at Roosk, close to the sea-shore. Iron and copper-ore abound in various parts of the parish, but neither is at present worked: the iron-ore was formerly very extensively procured, and large smelting-works were built at Glengariff and Adrigoole; of the latter, very considerable remains exist, forming an interesting feature on the banks of the river. There are constabulary police stations at Ardrigoole and Glengariff, and a coast-guard station at the latter place, forming part of the district of Castletown. A manorial court is held at Ardrigoole every third Thursday, for the recovery of debts under 40s. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Ross, the rectory constituting part of the union and corps of the archdeaconry of Ross, and the vicarage united with that of Bunnane: the tithes amount to £380, of which one-half is payable to the archdeacon and the other to the vicar. The church is a small edifice with a low square tower, situated at the base of the rugged mountain of Ardrigoole; it was built in 1809, at an expense of £500, a gift from the late Board of First Fruits, and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have recently granted £190 towards its repair. There is neither glebe-house nor glebe. In the Roman Catholic divisions this parish is in the diocese of Kerry, and is the head of a union or district, comprising also that of Bunnane; there are three chapels, situated respectively at Mass-mount near Ardrigoole (Adrigole), Glengariff, and Bunnane. There are eight private schools, in which are about 430 children. At Daraheen-Dharmuda a battle was fought between O'Sullivan Bear and O'Donovan, in which the latter was slain. The ruins of the old church are situated in a deep recess in the mountains, one mile east from Ardrigoole; at Drumlane is a very perfect fort, and there are several others in various parts of the parish. At Leitrim is an upright stone without any inscription, called a Gollane, and there are several others of the same name in the barony; near the former are vast piles of loose stones heaped together in the greatest confusion.

Someone may know better than I---but I would guess under the old UK system, an election district was how British citizens of Ireland were allotted to vote for representatives to the Irish Parliament and how local magistrates and government officials stood for office---similar to the state and congressional districts we have in the US.

Hi all, I have been trying to trace my Sullivan/Harrington line for many years. Cornelius Sullivan (of Lawrence and Mary) was born in Kilkaskin, County Cork in 1826 arrived in New York in 1851 and he married Mary Harrington born in Ireland (of Cornelius and Bridget) in New Bedford at St. Lawrence Church in 1857, witnesses to the marriage were Eugene Sullivan and Ellen O'Neil. Their first child MaryAnn was born in Fall River in 1858(St. Mary's church baptism listed a Mary Murphy as a sponsor) as were three sons Michael, John and Florence. The family moved to Newport between 1863-1865 and had five additional children: William (my ggrandfather), Henry, Timothy, Margaret and Cornelius, Jr. Cornelius and all his 7 sons worked at the New England Steamship Compay as boilermakers and lived in the point section on Washington Street in Newport. MaryAnn Sullivan married Jeremiah Sullivan in 1882 in Newport and had five children: John"Ranger Jack", Daniel "Mecca Dan", Florence, Margaret, and Annie. Florence Sullivan married Mary Burke and had four daughters: Agnes, Getrude, Hilda and Alice - all daughters were school teachers in Newport. Florence was the general foreman of the New England steamship Company in the 1920s and 30s William Sullivan married Sarah Lawton in 1889 and had a son William Sullivan, Jr. my grandfather. In the 1870 census in Newport, the family lived with a Hannah (Harrington) Nash, she is related to Mary Harrington but I have not been able to determine the direct relationship. Hannah Harrington (of Michael and Margaret) married Richard Nash in 1861 in New Bedford. Witnesses to the marriage were John Harrington and Julia Murphy. I am Looking forward to hearing from any Sullivan, Harrington or possible Murphy connections.

While doing further research this morning, I came across JAMES O'NEILL and MARGARET CASKEY (= Harrington) who were married on February 2nd 1861. While they were living here in Beara they had 9 children, but there is no trace of any one of them here after that. United States ? Also JEREMIAH O'SULLIVAN(McGrath) & CATHERINE ABBOTT who were married on February 7th 1866 and who had 8 children while here. Five of them were put down as McGrath only --- as was their father. Did any of them go to Australia ? JAMES ABBOTT & JULIA O'SULLIVAN were married here on February 10th 1861 and had 6 children recorded to them while they lived here. The family were said to have emigrated to New York and JAMES was said to have had a saloon there. According to the Civil Records a JAMES GEDDING (= GIDDINS?), a military pensioner, died in the Adrigole Parish on October 21st 1870, aged 116 years. The first O'Leary man, a Stone Mason, came from Iveleary (Mid-Cork) to build the Barony Bridge, Glengarriff (the end of the Beara Peninsula nearest the Bantry Parish). LUDOVIC (= Louis) O'LEARY built the present Adrigole Church circa 1846. Riobard. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 1409 spam emails to date.

I want to thank Riobard for his kind words about my work. The lecture was the 2006 Ernie O'Malley Memorial Lecture, which I gave at New York University in November 2006. It is about to appear in Radharc, the journal of NYU's Glucksman Ireland House, after some delays. I am not sure if it will be available on line, but can send copies on request. Bill William H.

Hello Riobard, Yes, Mary was the youngest of the family who came to Australia. I have her Baptism certificate from Sacred Heart Church, Castletownbere, as well as the Baptism certificate of Hanorah, baptized 1st November 1838. Hanorah did not arrive in Australia with her family, but may have died on board ship as there were several children's deaths enroute; Mary, baptized in 1852, died in Sydney in 1854. I am still searching for the Baptisms of Johanna (born abt. 1840), Julia (born abt. 1843 - my gr.grandmother), Kate (born abt. 1847), Cornelius (born abt. 1848), and Patrick (born abt. 1849), all of whom came to Australia with Cornelius and Catherine in 1853. At your suggestion I did try to locate their Baptisms in Waterford, because of the Bunmahon Mines, but without success.

Hi,  I am a descendant of O'Sullivan and Harrington.  I am looking for Catherine O'Sullivan wife to Johnny Harrington Causkey.  Catherine was the daughter of Mark and Anna O'Sullivan.  She was a sister to Eugene 1850, Timothy1857, Mary 1847,Mortimor1850? and Denis1855.  Catherine was born about 1861 and died after she gave birth to triplets Dec. 1887.  She is buried on Dursey Island, Abbey Cemetery.  I know her parents made trips to Australia and the USA.  She might have even been born is the USA.. Johnny HarringtonCauskey, Lighthouse Keeper, son of Seana Thadhg Harrington Causkey and Joan Murphy,Tillickafinne.  I am sure I too must be related to some of you.  I am looking for more info such as where she was born, Catherine.  Where her parents and sibblings are baptisms of and weddings for her and Johnny Harrington. Thank You, Carole

I have been following the various comments on Harringtons (following the golf win) and thought I would post my Harrington members information again in case the names look familiar to someone else's research. With Riobard's help, and my certificates, I have the following information: My gr.gr. grandparents were - Catherine (Caskey) Harrington and Cornelius (Caobach/Keebugh) Harrington. They married in 1837 in Castletownbere, and they came to Australia in 1853 with their children. Catherine had a younger brother, Daniel, born 1820, (only record available). Their parents were - Timothy (Caskey) Harrington and Margaret (Seer) Sullivan. Apparently Catherine was a native of the townland, Disert. Cornelius' parents were - Cornelius (Caboach) Harrington and Julia Sullivan I have no more information on either family, but would love to hear from anyone who may have similar names, as there is a big gap in the church records in Castletownbere indicating that the family may have had moved elsewhere, then come back again; there are only baptisms records for the first and last of their children. Geraldine, Melbourne, Australia.

As children we used to say that it only took my mother 20 minutes with someone of Irish origin in Fall River, MA to find out she was related to them.
