Hi Eileen - My gggrandfather, Michael Geary, born c. 1800 also had a brother, Roger Geary, born 1803, both born in Gortnaskehy. As I recall there is an Owen Geary listed in Gortnaskehy in the Griffith or pre Griffith. A chart recently sent to me by my cousin in Dublin also shows an Owen Geary. I have emailed him to determine if Owen is a brother of Michael and Roger. Owen Geary is in our line. Eugene Geary of Gortnaskehy/Kilworth area assisted me in my research some years ago and his ancestor is Owen Geary. What time period is your Owen Geary?

Hi, Seeing Parish of Ballinamona mentioned in a post today prompts me to ask for more information about it. My G Grandparents Denis Daly and Mary Fitzgerald apparently lived at Ballynamona near Glanworth. Is this the same place? If it is, was it amalgamated with another Parish? The marriage record I have for Denis and Mary states they were married in Holy Cross Church Glanworth 15 Feb 1863. As far as I know their 11 children were all Baptised at Glanworth. Alice 1864, Michael 1866, Johana 1867, Denis 1869 my Grandfather, Bartholomew 1871, Nora 1873, John 1875, Maurice 1877, William 1879,Francis 1881, Mary 1882. Sponsers names for baptisms include, Fitzgerald, Ahern, Hooper, Howard, Hannon, O'Niell, Mulvey, Connery,Kelly,Sline, Murphy, Carroll, Griffin, Malone and Hanrahan. Does any one have any connections with these names from around Glanworth at these times. Also Driscolls,Children of John Driscoll and Ellen Donovan were Jim b1854, John b1857,Ellen b 1857 (twins),Denis John b 1859, David Baptised 11 May 1862 Glanworth. David married Johana Daly. I have some old Driscoll family photos I would love to be able to identify and share with any other Driscoll descendants out there.

Christina - Is there any chance you can get your hands on the Kingston Estate records?....It is my understanding, Bill Power of Mitchelstown, holds these records. My ancestors were from Gortnaskehy townland, near Kilworth, County Cork. They were tenants on the Earl of Kingston estate. There are many that would like these records to be made public to aid in their family history research. There are a couple of years that are at NLI, but that is all. Thanks for all your efforts.

Actually, the name sounds like it might well be from Lithuania, or from one of the other Baltic countries. The three Baltic countries are Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia.

Hi Sue, Thought you might be interested in this link to a pub belonging to the Cahalanes in Skib, been in the family since 1898 and still is, and is at no 20 Bridge St. My own old family house is at no 25, just across the road from it where the Coghlans lived in the 1800's and the early 1900's. I was there tracing my roots last September and walked down the street and saw both.

Charmine, I guess it should be no surprise that my grandmother's uncles ran a butcher shop on Bridge Street. Thank you for confirming the surname. I'll have to go checking to see if anyone has posted gedcoms on that family.

Is anyone familiar with the surname Cahalane in the Skibbereen area? I have finally found my grandmother's arrival into Boston. YES!!!! On the 5 May 1910 passenger manifest for Mary Beatts, age 24, she lists a cousin Hannah Cahalane (could be Os instead of As) as her relative back in Skibbereen. I'm not familiar with that surname. I'm going to start looking through the 1911 Skibbereen census pages tomorrow and wonder if someone might have suggestions for other versions of the surname I should be looking for. As an update on my search for Mary Bates, the Mrs. Minehane she lists as her Aunt and sponsor has a maiden name of Mary Murphy. In 1910, Mrs. Minehane has actually remarried after the death of James Minehane to a Cornelius Harrington. Right now, it is looking like Mary Bates' mother is either a Margaret Murphy (if she is the sister of Mary Murphy) or Margaret McCarthy (if she is the sister of the bachelor McCarthy brothers). Rather odd for my Irish ancestors, Mary Bates is quite consistent on her age, so she was born in either 1885 or 1886. I have ordered the 1901 Skibbereen census microfilms and maybe can find Mary Bates hiding in them as a domestic in one of the households. Thanks. Sue Richart

Hi Karen, The address in Patrick is now occupied by The Moderne clothes shop and Spectra Photo Shop. Academy St. is correct and the other side street is French Church St. At this site http://www.irelandoldnews.com/obits/ you will find a few Perry Obits in Cork which may be worth following up.

Would anybody know anything about the company John Perry & Sons Ltd on 89, 90, 91 Patrick Street which existed from around the 1830s until after 1900? The buildings are still there and the company took up the whole block including both side streets to it's left and right (one is Academy St. I think). They were Hardware Merchants, and Ironmongers and it must have been a very large business. I am desperately trying to find out which John Perry this was and who his sons were. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
