Thanks Thomas. Edmond seems to have been a popular name in Tipperary. I once read that the spelling Edmond shows that the family had strong Norman roots as it it more of a French spelling. On the other hand, if the spelling is Edmund, it shows more of an Anglo origin. Don't know how true it is, plus don't know how many could spell in the time frame we are working in.

She wed Michael Bohan of Collegehill (Templemore) in 1820 and emigrated to America (Wisconsin) in 1846 with her 9 children, including her youngest, my grandfather Edmond Russell Bohan, 1839-1905. FWIW.—Tom P.S. They went directly to Wisconsin because her Russell relatives (including Patrick, of singer Tom Russell fame) had gone there in 1841.

I have no access to, say, Killaloe records, so I am going to be of no help to you. Really sorry.
