I am attempting to locate a merchant, Jacob Mould, who resided for business in Cork for an unknown period of time ending with his death in 1841. He was most likely in the wool or textile trade. It is unlikely that he was Catholic, his wife was Anglican so parish records are not useful. Can anyone on this list tell me if there were city directories, census etc. where he could be located? How about Civil Court records of wills probated at that time? Newspaper obituaries? funeral notices? How can I find out where an Anglican family would have gone to church? Any other suggestions as to how to tackle this problem? I hope some among you will have a suggestion. Sincerely, Lucille Gordon NYC

Do you have records or info on the area. I am interested in the Bond family, who lived at The Manor in Castlelyons. I have a small book of the area, but it has no reference to that name. I believe it is of later years, although Bond sisters lived there is 1958 is the latest date I have. They were Charlotte Emily Bond Dorman, and Edith Bond. Their mother, Mary Hendley Bond was my gr grandmother's sister. My Dad had tea with the sisters in 1958. Charlotte was married to Samuel H. Dorman, I believe he was a Bishop or Deacon of the church. Would you know of the C of I there or the cemetery. I believe they would be buried there. Thanks for any help. You have a great site. Ann

My 4x great grandfather George Stevelly (1761 - 1837) was born and died in Cork. During his life-time, he seems to have lived at a number of different residences in and around Cork. He was "of Font Hill in the County of Cork" for 1806-8 at least. Does anyone know where Font Hill is, or was? Was it a house, estate or town? I would be pleased to know as it is a problem I have grappled with for a long time. Thanks, Kae Lewis

George MEW was baptized April 1845 and Henry John MEW was baptized March 1850 in the Catholic Church in COBH, County CORK. I don't know if there were any more children. Where would I find the marriage of their parents - Mary COLLINS and George Charles MEW? I do know that in 1870 George Charles was in the Royal Navy. I have written to St. Coleman's Cathedral in COBH but have heard nothing from them. I live in British Columbia, Canada so would be very appreciative of any help in this regard. Thanks in advance.

Hello All I try to act as a one name clearing house for the name RYE. An American called Robert Rye has done a lot of research on RYEs in the Southern States of America, and all the lines lead back to a small group who arrived in America around 1650. The question is where did they come from ? One theory is that they were "Royalists" fleeing Ireland. After the Restoration a Christopher RYE was at different times Mayor and Sheriff of Cork. I have some questions :- (a) Is there a good History of Cork published covering the period say 1630-70 well ? (b) Do any records exist for emigration from Cork at this time ? (c) Is there likely to be any more documentary evidence about Christopher RYE other than that he held these posts ?

I am seeking anything on any of the Sahan and Freelin Families. They came from Ireland, but I am not sure when.They lived in MO, NE, ILL, FL, MI, etc....... One of these families are buried over in County Cork cemeteries, not sure if it is the Sahan's or the Freelin's. I am told that Frank Sahan worked on the Railroad in the Up of MI in the early 1900's, he may have passed away in the 1960's. They also married into the Jones' Family in NE. Please if anyone can help, We would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sherry

Hi, I wonder if anyone could tell me about the Coast Guard in Cork area. My gggf Timothy Callahan, from the parish of Ballynamona near Mallow, had 3 brothers who were supposed to be in it in the early to mid 1800's. Was it a military force or a rescue service or both? Where might one try to find any records of such an organization? Take care, Ed

Greetings, I'm having trouble finding information on my g-grandfather, John Patrick Cassidy, SR. He was born in Sept 1896 and passed away in Nov (I believe) of 1946. He married a Rose Wat(t)ers, date I'm not sure of. I am having no luck really on finding anything about him or his parents. Are there any census' or anything that anyone knows about that could help me? Thanks a lot! Sincerely, Roxanne "The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see, and knows what the mind cannot understand"

Vita; There is a mention of Mr. Walker in "Fermoy to 1840", by Niall Brunicardi. 1978. Page 90 "at a meeting of the parishoners of Fermoy, convened after Divine Service on Whit Sunday, the 6th June, 1802, the Rev. Wm. Adair in the chair, John Anderson, chief proprietor and impropriator of the tithes of said parish, reported at the meeting that, having nominated the Rev. Wm. Adair, A.M. to the curacy of said parish, with a fixed salary........." These minutes go on to record Anderson's offer, gratis, of enough ground for the purpose of building a new church. A committee, of Mr. Anderson, Mr. Walker, Mr. Abbott, Mr. Arthur Baylor and the chairman, selected a site north of the bridge, on ground in the occupation of Mr. Baylor." ========== Note: Baylor would be an extended relation of mine - by marriage to a Murray. He was a nurseryman, who had an orchard at the spot he donated where the present-day church is stands. I checked the 1642 depositions - no Walkers. Page 92 In 1816, when Anderson hit the bottom, shall we say, your Thomas Walker, Esq., was apparently among the members of the public to whom Anderson owed money.
