Father Maurice Power was educated at the Irish College, Paris. He was stationed at Kanturk (1825), Cove, Ballyclough (1827-1830), Kilmacabea, Skibbereen (1834), Ladysbridge, Ballymacoda (pastor, 1835-1839) where he built a church, Killeagh (1839-1876). Two fund raising trips to the US, c. 1858, yielded over 4,000 pounds. Some of his sermons in Irish edited and published by Risteard O'Foghlu. Brendan O'Madagain has edited a book of instructions on the Bible, written in his old age, as a thesis for the Ph.D. (also in Irish). His first cousin and housekeeper, Miss Wiseman, strongly disapproved of his habit of keeping open house for all comers. Described as a "holy, humble, and hardworking priest, a tall and powerfully built man." He died in retirement in Youghal on 26 July 1877 and was buried in Killeagh. Father Henry Power, brother of Father Maurice, 1800-1868. Professor, College of the Holy Ghost, Paris (1825-1829). Stationed in Wallstown (chaplain) 1832-1839; Ballymacoda (1839); Killeagh (1841-1859). Died at Killeagh 1 February 1868. Father Maurice sent 20 pounds and Father Henry 10 pounds to the Kilmacabea Famine Relief Fund. If you are interested in a first person account of both Fathers' Maurice and Henry before, during, and after the famine time in Killeagh, I will be happy to send you a copy of Edmund Ronayne, "Ronayne's Reminiscences: A History of His Life and Renunciation of Romanism and Freemasonry." As you may guess from the title, this book is, well, let's say opinionated; however, Edmund was born in 1832 at Gurtrue, lived through the famine (and the "fever" that went with it) while all his family died, and was helped by Father Henry Power. He was educated and went on to found so-called "Hedge Schools" in and around County Cork, eventually emigrating to Montreal, Canada, and finally to Chicago, Illinois. He worked as a teacher, first in Ireland, then in Quebec, and founded and operated a school in Chicago -- until the Chicago fire, that is; there is an interesting story of how the Chicago fire "really" got started. There is also much lambasting of Roman Catholicism, Freemasonry, and just about everybody that ever annoyed the man -- lot's of history, lot's of complaining. The file is large, about 2M, and it's Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) -- you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader (free at http://www.adobe.com) to view or print it. Let me know if you're interested.

I am new to this list and seek information regarding a William Renny, who was 26 when convicted of Larceny from a house, in Cork City, date of trial, 21/10/1836. The sentence was 14 yrs transportation. No ship was listed. Document reference is TR1, p 42. This information is from the NAI site where a search for convicts can be made. I wonder if someone can find more information for me about this man please? Alternatively, he would have been born around 1810 - is anyone able to find birth or christening records for him? Any help appreciated. Leonie

Although I cannot help with specifics about the people you mention, further information might be available from the Representative Church Library in Dublin. They have all sorts of documents about Church of Ireland clergymen. Through the library I obtained copies of extracts from the "Biographical Succession List of Kilmore" which provided some wonderful information about my wife's Hearn ancestors. I don't think a prebendary necessarily lived in the parish. Daniel Hearn was Prebendary of Doon (Emly) 1727-66 and Archdeacon of Cashel 1728-66 but he actually lived in Dublin If you're in touch with the helpful people at this library, they may also be able to give you some useful explanation about terminology as well.

Hello My family lore suggested Waterford because of the surname POWER, but my research is pointing strongly to Cork. If anyone therefore has knowledge of, or connection with, any of the following individuals, many of them RC priests, and all of the same pedigree I've worked out, then I would be most interested to hear from you. There are others, but these are the key individuals: Fr John Power of Leap (1764-1831) Fr John Power, Curate of Youghal 1819, formerly Vicar General of NY (to be confirmed), died 1849 (to be confirmed) Pierce Power, Naval Surgeon, died 1833 Maurice Power (1777-1837), Naval Surgeon Fr Maurice Power (1798-1877), Gaelic scholar, translated the 'Tuireamh an Phaorag', church-builder, fund-raiser in America Fr Samuel Power, b. 1801 Tullineasky, died 1851 Grenada, British West Indies, my ancestor, trained Holy Ghost Seminary Paris Dr Power, emigrated to Germany, ancestor of the Von Kageneck family of Frieberg The family WISEMAN are also connected through marriage so anyone with information on this family would be welcome to contact me as well. Thank you Bernard (UK) email: bernard.ince@uk.bosch.com

Good afternoon. I am new to this list. Can anyone help me with the following please? Any details about JAMES EDMUND BURTON and his career in County Cork. He was born in Tuam, Galway in 1777. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He was an uncle to the explorer, Sir Richard Francis Burton. He served for many years at Terrebonne in Canada. Burton was PREBENDERY OF DONOUGHMORE from 1812 until his death in 1851. Would he have lived there? I am not clear what a Prebendery really does or if it is an honourary post. >From 1836 he was CURATE OF BALLYCOTTON. He is said to have build a church there. Is this likely for a Curate? I am also seeking any details on his first wife MARGARET BOYCE. He married her in 1809. I cannot link her with any of the obvious Boyce families and wondered if she came from County Cork.

Hi Mari, I didn't have anything that dates back to the time you family emigrated to Australia, but I did check Guy's Cork Almanac, County & City Directory, 1914, for those names just in case. I could not find any "Donevaile" in County Cork, but there is a "Doneraile." Unfortunately I didn't find any THOMPSON's or BINSTEAD's in Doneraile in 1914. The parents probably already had passed away by then. Any other towns in County Cork that you might have a reference for? Anyway, you may want to be looking for "Doneraile" connections in Ireland. As for Irish research, the Latter Day Saints Family History Library has developed a "Genealogical Research Guide for Ireland." This has a great Irish research flow-chart depending on when your ancestors were born, married and died. I have this in paperback form, but I think most of the guide information is now available online. Civil registrations of B,M,D vitals started in 1864 in Ireland, so searching for records before then requires finding a town or place name to start with. In your case Doneraile, may be an important connection for searching parish records, etc. Either way, it would be worthwhile to "walk" through the FHL online research guide. Here is the link: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/rg/frameset_rg.asp?Dest=E&Juris1=76 >From there you will probably want to check the Births from 1619 to 1863; then Church Records; then Inventories, Registers and catalogs; then Parish Records; then search for "Doneraile." This will give you: "Parish register extracts, 1731-1905, Church of Ireland. Parish Church of Doneraile." Here are the film numbers: Parish register extracts FHL British Film 596421 Item 3 You can repeat the steps for Marriages, etc. I'm sure others on this list can give you even better ideas about searching the records in Ireland.

Hi listers I am new to the list and a complete novice to family research in Ireland. I am researching my husband's family, tracing them back from Australia. I think I have found a chip in the brickwall and need some help to get further. Samuel Binstead THOMPSON was b 1860 in Co Cork. He married Mary Ann SAVAGE from Co Fermanagh and they emigrated to Queensland, Australia in 1880. Samuel's death certificate states his father's surname was THOMPSON and his mother's BINSTEAD. No first names given. I have searched every online database and the BVRI and I have found this couple: George THOMPSON married to Anne BINSTEAD in Donevaile on 31 May 1855. George's father was named William THOMPSON and Anne's father Samuel BINSTEAD. Samuel Binstead THOMPSONs children are called Annie, George and William. His grandsons were called George, William Thompson (as middle name) and Roy Binstead (as middle name). I am making some strong assumptions that judging by the use of names, I may have found Samuel's parents. Question: Where can I look for confirmation? Where are BMD indexes for Ireland kept? Are there any online resources that I can use? Was there a good census done in Cork in the period between 1860 and 1880? Does anyone on this list have access to any resources that could do a lookup for me? Would be grateful for any help/information! Regards Mari

Mine were obtained by requesting microfilm from Family History Library(Mormons) by the number found in their catalogue that is on-line (familysearch.com). Ordered film number for the state and county that they settled in. The state and county is necessary to locate the Probate Court to which immigrants applied for citizenship.

We have a REGIONAL National Archives. We find out the code to use when looking up a surname by using the Soundex. We then go to a drawer filled with index cards. There is an index card for people who were naturalized in New England - one for each person. Usually the date of immigration and naturalization are on the card as well as code numbers. You copy the code numbers and get a card from someone "at the desk" that allows you to "research the records," that is, you can go in a small room and fill out a request form for several naturalization records, using the information found on the index cards. The copies of the original records are brought into the small room. You can copy the information or pay to have a copy made. Very often enough information is given, such as county of origin, that you can tell whether or not it was your family member. Or perhaps the date of immigration and naturalization matches the dates given on the 1920 census. If you find your relative was naturalized in a FEDERAL court (often a circuit court), the regional archives could also have the Petition of Intent (I think it's called). I know you can send to the National Archives but without relevant information a record won't be found. I hope I haven't been too confusing.

Sorry I made a mistake with the name of the street, it should read Industry Place. Also, there is some confusion as to whether the surname should be O'Connell or Connell. Phyllis Steel
