AoB volume 2 chronicles the various McCarthy lines. One citation is very puzzling: see page 1145 volume II MCCARTHY (WEAVER) (BALLYCROVANE) Back in the 1840’s there were two brothers: Denis Rohane and Timothy Rohane. Denis went “cliamhain isteach” to a small part of the Hanley farm when he married Mary Hanley, daughter of Timothy Hanley, Ballycrovane. Timothy Rohane married Catherine O’Sullivan. They were parents of Denny (the Weaver) McCarthy. The query is: how did the McCarthy name arise from the marriage of Timothy Rohane and Catherine O’Sullivan.... is Timothy a McCarthy from Rohane? GRMMA, Terrance O’Dwyer

In answer to Terrance's question: "Is Timothy a McCarthy from Rohane ?" The answer is "No". Tradition has it that this section of McCarthys in Beara came originally from the district of Carrigrohane, which is very close to Cork City. The surname McCarthy in Gaelic, Mac Carthaigh, means son of Carthach {Mac in Gaelic means SON]. Carthach, from whom the name originated, was King of Cashel [Co. Tipperary] around 1040 A.D. ----- Riobard. On 23 March 2013 01:25, terrance <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > AoB volume 2 chronicles the various McCarthy lines.

Riobard my friend,Place names vs branch names are they the same? How important are they to remember and keep. I put my Mom's O'Sullivan families branch name on her death cert. It was hard to find and in this way their name would be remembered as long as someone was researching her life.God be with youSeamus --- On Sat, 3/23/13, Riobard O' Dwyer <[email protected]> wrote: From: Riobard O' Dwyer <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [BEARA] new McCarthy Beara query To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, March 23, 2013, 5:19 AM In answer to Terrance's question: "Is Timothy a McCarthy from Rohane ?"
