I have a little mystery that needs solving... Nicholas Comerford and Mary Dee are my 4g-grandparents. Their daughter Bridget married Michael Tobin about 1847, had a son Michael about 1848 all in Tipperary and then emigrated to upstate New York. That much of my info came from a distant cousin here in the states and I have no idea how she got it and I've never been able to find the family in Tipp. I have them well documented once they got to the states. Yesterday I found a baptismal record in the IFHF database for Michael Tobin, baptised on 29/4/1849, parents are Michael Tobin and Bridget Comerford, sponsor is John Comerford, parish is Ballyneale, family is Roman Catholic, priest was P. Power. So, I'm 99% sure this is my Michael Tobin. I found the Roman Catholic parish of Ballyneale in the Waterford and Lismore diocese and in 1846, P. Power is one of the curates and the the post town for the parish is Carrisk-on-Suir. So it seems to all make sense. However, there is a townland of Ballyneale in the Donohill civil parish and in that parish I find Nicholas Comerford in the Grifith's. I find no mention of Comerfords near Carrick-on-Suir -- but I'm also very unfamiliar with this part of Tipperary, since most of my family is from the Lattin-Cullen parish. Can anyone help shed some light on the geography involved here? Thanks so much!

Kathleen . Part of Tipperary is in the parish of Lismore . The Tipperary Family History Research are helpful but the Waterford one is money hungary . The Tobin families are plentiful in Waterford--Tipperary and Limerick . , so good luck .
