Hello Listers - I am a new member to this site, searching for my Hammond ancestors in the Thurles area - more specifically in Turtulla homeland - Moycarkey parish. William Hammond and Margaret Butler married Oct. 27, 1844 Children: Mary - Aug 1845 Ellen - Aug 1846 Richard & Hester (twins) - Jan. 1848 Bridget - 1852 James - 1854 Margaret - 1856 William - May 1857 Anne - Apr 1859 Catherine - Mar 1861 The entire family immigrated to the U.S. in 1863; am looking for family ties prior to immigration - in the Hammond, Butler & Maher lines. Thank you, Ellen Legault
