Dear list, I have been searching for many years for a Bridget Hickey. I had a search done at the Mallow Heritage Centre,she wasn't in that diocese. I did a search in the Ballincollig area because at 16 she lived in Milford,MA with the Sweeney/Ring family and the Sweeny's were from Ballincollig. She surfaced with them in 1860. I'm now searching Rings and Hickeys in West Cork. I did a nat. on John Ring he is from Cork son of Denis and Johanna. Bridget Hickey's obit stated she was from Cork and had lived in Milford since her arrival. Is either Hickey or Ring a prevalent Beara name? I am really lost on where to look. Any advice would be appreciated. Best Regards, Helen
I know there are Hickey's in/near Bantry, south of Beara a bit. Don't know about Beara itself.
