Lynn You didn't say which St Michael, there must be thousands in Ireland. It was usual for a couple to be married in the church of the brides family, but given that her name was Murphy that doesn't help narrow it down much. There was a Maurice Power who was PP in Killeagh at that time but as Killeagh has no St Michael and his name is Power not Powers, then it is probably not the right place. Given that you have both surnames the best course would be to check the 1867 index for the civil registration of marriages, note down every Owen Keiran in both Cork and Louth, then look for a matching Murphy. You can do all this at your local mormon FHC, they also have the register entries for that year.

Hi folks; I have a photocopy of a report on the transcriptions of the headstones in Castlelyons graveyard, which is located in North Cork, just south of Fermoy. There are 776 memorials, of these 372 were inscribed memorials, 132 are footstones and 272 are unmarked stones. The report is titled Castlelyons Heritage Project and is dated 23 Nov 1990. It is 179 pages in length. If you would like me to look for your family please send your request to me OFF-LIST and include as much information as possible. It may take a few days to reply, but I will get back to you with a positive or negative response. David N. Murray Web Address: http://www.davidmurray.net Email Address: dmurray@totalnetnh.net

Hi; I have been very successful in researching my family back to the 1700s in Castlelyons (civil parish of Mogeely). Mogeely is now part of the Catholic parish of Conna. Before that I can make an educated guess as to where they come from. If I wrote they stepped off an alien spaceship in the 1700s, that would be an accurate description of what my research has concluded. David N.

Looking for info on my g g grandparents Owen KEIRAN and Mollie MURPHY. They were from County Cork and County Louth, but I'm not sure who was from which county. They married at St. Michael's Church in Ireland, with the Rev. M. Powers officiating on 1 July 1867. They came to America on their honeymoon, settled in the Louisville, KY area and had twelve children, several of whom died at an early age. My g grandfather, Edward James KEIRAN (b. 1 Nov 1878) was the seventh child. I don't have birth or death dates, names of parents or siblings, the name of the ship they travelled on or the port of entry, or anything else. If any of this is familiar to you please contact me. I'd be happy to share information on later family members. Thanks in advance. Lynn

Wayne I don't know if this relevant or not but there was a Fr Daniel Horgan who was PP of Conna 1832-45, buried in Conna Church, obviously not yours but perhaps related ?

I am still searching for a connection of my *Ole Richard* who arrived in Va. about 1782-5, married in Front Royal area on 5 Nov 1792, raised a large family that is still rather strong in the area. I have had the DNA TEST which indicates a tie to two families in County Cork, Ireland. in 1750 and one group in Bedminster near Bristol in 1784 and Launceston in Cornwall in 1792. I have made contact with one descendent of a Millstreet, County Cork family which was suspected as being *Irish cousins* for a number of years. NO contact thus far with the other County Cork family!! More recently, I have been connected to another Richard Pomeroy born about 1775-1788, married 20 Sept 1807 at St Mary Church, St Olave Road, Rotherhithe, London [to Isott Webber, daughter of John & Mary Webber] ; died in 1850 @ age 62 at 1 Clarence Place, Stepney buried at St Dunstans Stepney, London. This latter connection shows 22 of 25 markers [this means there is a 99.9% likelihood that we have a common ancestor.] The DNA test subject is living in Australia, age 82 born 1920 in Tottenham. This Richard has a connection to a second family in Somerset, the third from Stockport in NW England, (possibly Worcestershire), and the fourth from Wiltshire. Can anyone help by identifying POC for any of these families ? Help greatly appreciated.... Chuck Pomeroy

Dear Listers, thought I would re-submit my interests again, hoping someone out there is also searching for information on the same family line. My ancestors came from Newmarket Co Cork and are as follows Timothy Bambery born Bally Longford Co Kerry and the son of Richard Bambery and Mary Kennelly , married Margaret Forrest born 1852 Newmarket Co Cork Married in Australia 1878. Margaret came to Australia alone. Margaret was the daughter of Michael Patrick Forrest b 1826 and Ellen Rahilly/Reilly Newmarket Other children born to Michael Patrick and Ellen were John Forrest Mary Michael Catherine - also came to Australia and died in house fire in her 20's.

Greetings. I have interest in the following family `of Ballingarry Co Cork. ( Please note that some information is still being researched ) JOHN WILLIAM HORGAN born `abt 1850 `of Ballingarry I presume. JWH was recorded as a member of the RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary). On 23 May 1876 JWH married Margaret COVENY in Ballingarry County Cork. Margaret`s father was recorded as John COVENY `of Ballingarry. I have two recorded children for JWH and Margaret: - JOHN COVENY HORGAN born 1 Jun 1879 in Sligo (according to the IGI) married Anne DOHERTY (var sp) immigrated to Canada. - "FATHER" PATRICK HORGAN born `abt 1880 possibly in Sligo or Ballingarry County Cork recorded as a Priest died in Cork. I would certainly be interested in any further info on these families. Best Regards Wayne Wayne Hannay .. wghannay@shaw.ca

For the past twenty-four years, I've searched without success for any clues to the origins of my 4g-grandfather John KNOX. He was b. ca. 1724, place unknown; m.(1) unknown; m.(2) Mary SALTER 19 Nov 1778 at Windsor, Nova Scotia; was planter w/wife, 1 child, log cabin, 6 acres land at Grimross Neck (Gagetown, New Brunswick) in June 1783 before Loyalists arrived; His will dtd. 21 Jun 1816, proved 3 Dec 1819.

I am new to this list, and currently working on my FLANAGAN line in parish Ballyagran in County Limerick, just outside of County Cork. While I am having difficulty researching this line, I do have one little piece of history in my hands that may help out: a letter from Stephen MOLLOY (also has been spelled MOLEY, MALLOY, MULLOY, and all one-L spelling variants) to his wife, Anna FLANAGAN MOLLOY. The letter was dated Feb 20, 1849, from Liverpool and sent to his wife in Charleville, County Cork, to a place, or maybe a street name that looks like "Coppanahane" or "Coppanahave" (it is hard to read his writing). The letter, basically, is telling his wife that he is about to board a ship, the Anglo-Americano, for Boston, sorry for the short notice, love you forever, etc... Sounds like a guy on the run, and we are surmising he may have had some link to the Young Irelanders of that time period in and around the city Cork. Anyhow, the letter was written about a year after these newlyweds had given birth to their daughter, Catherine. Owing to the fact that Anna's brother William FLANAGAN was from "Parish Ballygran, County Limerick" (according to his grave monument in Chicago, 1893), I had always tried to find family records in County Limerick. But I now have learned that parish Ballyagran spanned some territory in both counties, and that Charleville is only about 6 miles to the south of county Limerick. I am wondering if Charleville is in a separate parish, and if I should be looking for birth records for Catherine in County Cork. If anyone can inform me of the proper place to search for birth and/or marriage records for those living in Charleville, I'd appreciate it.

Alan with luck you might find a marriage certificate (civil registration began in 1864) that will give you the name of the fathers of bride and bridegroom. You should also have a look through my web site, you might find something http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hanson/ Happy Christmas Michael > My great grandmother was Margaret Kelleher.

Barbara, Most townlands have been spelled phonetically for years and there have been different versions as a result. When searching at www.seanruad.com use the search method at the right which gives you the option of "anywhere in field", "beginning of field" and "end of field", or "must match exactly". In this case if you place "Ard" in the townland area and use search method "beginning of field" you will come up with a number of townlands including "ARDNACLUG" in the Civil Parish of Inishannon. None of the methods. however, work for Toonadrooma anywhere in Munster never mind Cork. I would suspect that townland is totally mis-spelled or misinterpreted. Bill Fahy

Barbara at BarbT10447@aol.com writes: << Does anyone know what Townlands Ardnaclugg and Toonadrooma of County Cork might be? >> Barbara, I think I can give you some options for the first one, but the second one.......aarrrgh! The most likely candidate for Ardnaclugg would be the townland of Ardnaclug, in Inishannon civil parish, less than a mile due west of Inishannon town (and 3 miles NE of Bandon town). I tried to find someplace in that general area which looked like Toonadrooma - but there are no townlands or parishes or baronies or PLUs in the county of Cork which start with "T" and look anything like Toonadrooma or Tooradrooma or Turradroma or............ But I decided to stretch the Ardnaclugg a bit - to Ardnacloghy - just in case. There is a small townland of Ardnacloghy in Carrigaline civil parish and just a mile NW of the town of Carrigaline. And there's another Ardnacloghy way out west in Kilmocomoge civil parish, about 2 miles SW of Kealkill "town", along the R 584 and about 4 miles NNE of Bantry town. But nothing resembling Toonadrooma in those areas, either. That's all I have - unless we can get a significantly different "reading" of that townland's name. Sorry. By the way, I searched the counties adjacent to Cork, also. Nothing there either. Nor on Google. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
