    1. [COTIPPERARY] Roll Call - English Family of Clonoulty & Annacarty
    2. Somerville/Murphy via
    3. Hi all, My ENGLISH ancestors lived at Carhukeal (which has numerous spelling options) near Clonoulty, with records in the RC parish there and also in nearby Annacarty. Earliest known is Patrick ENGLISH who married Mary HONNERS about 1790. Mary ENGLISH, “alias ONERS” is buried in Clonoulty, so I have her dates as 1768-1831. I know of 5 children, although there may have been more: #1 Cornelius ENGLISH – eldest son, stayed on farm at Carhukeal where some of his descendants still live (well, they did when I visited in 1981) #2 Honora ENGLISH b.ca.1798 – apparently married 3 times and came to Victoria, Australia, with husband John COMANS in 1853. She died 1881. #3 John ENGLISH b.ca.1803 – married Mary CONNORS (who d. before 1855) at Annacarty in 1837. He came to Sydney, Australia, with family in 1855 and eventually farmed at Boorowa, NSW, where many other Clonoulty locals ended up. He d.1868. His daughter Grace is my g-g-grandmother. #4 James ENGLISH bapt.1806 Clonoulty. #5 Grace ENGLISH bapt.1809 Clonoulty, buried 1831 Clonoulty. I’d love to find out more about Patrick ENGLISH (ca.1765-ca.1840), who is described in records as both farmer and innkeeper. There were other ENGLISH families in Clonoulty around this time, which I’d be very keen to connect! Allan Murphy Sydney Australia
