Does anyone know what name the nickname "Norry" was used for? This name shows up in the baptismal records for Ballyvourney, County Cork. Could it have been used for Johanna? Thanks for any input!! Kay

The Second Edition of the British Isles Vital Records Index has just arrived in my hands. I have used the first edition but didn't find much on Ireland there. This edition claims to have over one million Irish records. Just as a test I tried my mother's maiden name, Moher, which is quite a rare Cork name. I got 59 returns which seem to be from civil registrations from 1866 to about 1874. I noticed some older records from Parishes. Not the answer to all our Irish problems but it might be worth the $20 US investment for some. This is an LDS product so the price is very reasonable. Most of the records are English with some from Scotland and a very few from Wales. It appears to be real hit and miss if there is anything useful. God Bless John Paul Barrie, Ontario

Can anyone furnish any info on a DINEEN family of Leap, County Cork?

Thank you Bill. It is the Catholic Church, but so far no luck has been found. I believe that thay were associated with the Archdiocese of Cork. Pat > [Original Message] > From: William P.

Hi Nora, I'm sorry I can't help you with your request but I was happy to see your email because I have the same situation. My great-great grandfather (Thomas James Murphy b. 1845) left Ireland (County Cork) in July 1870, along with 11 other men because there was a price on their heads. They landed in Northern Michigan and were bonded persons of the railroad and mining interests there. Thomas had to leave his wife Mary Margaret Connor (b. 1841) and their newborn son, James Thomas with Mary's father (Michael Connor) in Leeds, England. Ten years later Mary and James were able to join the men in L'Anse, Michigan. My questions are what happened in County Cork in 1870? Was that the time of the Black and Tans and Oliver Cromwell? How can I get records of the arrest warrants? Thank you for any information anyone can give me.

You have to have a townland, a civil parish or a religious parish and then, more than likely, your only recourse would be to check the local church records to see if they go back that far. Bill Fahy

I am searching for vital records for a Michael Harrington born September 16, 1816. What is the best way to do this? Thank you Pat Stiles Jacksonville, Florida >

Nora, The following is from www.seanruad.com Townland of Cousane 1,826 acres, County Cork, Kilmocomoge Civil Parish, Bantry Poor Law Union Bill Fahy

Nora at topsey@bellatlantic.net writes: << Can anyone verify if Cousane is in Bantry Parish for me >> Nora, If you mean the RC parish of Bantry, yes it is. This RC parish appears to coincide with the borders of Kilmocomoge civil parish. Cousane townland lies along the R 585 road, about 4 miles east of Kealkill. It's quite rugged (but picturesque) country. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

Hi Listners Can anyone verify if Cousane is in Bantry Parish for me Thanks in advance Nora

This is a reminder that there is a hint on my Helpful Hints page on how to find Irish Civil Registration records 1864+..... I see many questions on lists about this subject, and you can read exactly how to do it on that page. These records can be found via your local FHC of the LDS church, some need to be sent for from Dublin record office if they are not filmed. See url for Hints page below in my signature.

I have been told that one of my greatgrandparents came from Ballygriffin in Co. Cork, it could be either of the families detailed below. I have 1881 Cencus info on them as they moved to England sometime previous to this. My information is limited but I would appreciate any advice on trying to trace them further. Are there any look-ups available, or any online information accessable? The families are as follows: Carrolls in Jarrow England in 1881 cencus: Patrick Carroll born Ireland 1846, wife Mary Ann Carroll (nee Higgins) born 1851 in Scotland, and they had a lodger Francis Higgins, born Ireland 1821, who I assume is a relative of Mary Ann, father perhaps. McDonalds in Crosscanonby, Cumbria in 1881 cencus: Thomas McDonald born Ireland 1857, wife Ann McDonald (nee Clint) born Ireland 1857. I am unsure if they would have been married in Ireland before leaving for England. Any advice would be gratefully received, I know its not much to go on!! Many thanks, Catherine McDonald _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Hello, I've just joined this List. My 3 x great grandmother was Mary RAGAN. Born c1798 in Cork (not sure if City or County) - this information is from English censuses. She married James LIDDY, date & place unknown - possibly Ireland? She died in Wandsworth, Surrey in 1886 aged 88. Is anyone else researching this name in Cork - I realise, of course, that it's a not uncommon name, so there are probably thousands of Mary Ragans! James LIDDY, her husband, was, according to the 1841 Census, born in England, but I believe that his family was also Irish further back. Hope to hear from someone.

I had always believed that my father's family came from Mayo and have had no luck at all searching there. I have just seen the 1901 census for the local area and in it my g.g. grandfather and his sister both state that they were born in Cork! This has come as a great surprise to all the family. My g.g.g. grandfather was DAVID CONWAY His wife was Mary. Mary died in Southport, Lancs, UK in 1860, aged 62 according to her death certificate. I have not been able to trace David's death anywhere, althought I know he died somewhere between 1846 (his last daughter was born around 1847) and 1852, the year his son, my g.g. grandfather was married. (David is noted as "deceased" on the marriage certificate) David and Mary's children were: Mary born circa 1822 James born circca 1830 in Cork Bridget born circa 1837 in Cork Ann born circa 1847, possibly in Mayo I believe that the family moved around and when they came to England they did come from Mayo, as older members of the family remember relations saying they came from near Westport. The following names appear in all the generations: DAVID CONWAY JAMES CONWAY JOHN CONWAY EDWARD CONWAY TERENCE CONWAY so there could be a David, John, Edward and Terence born between 1820 and 1850 . Does anyone out there have a connection to this family or can anyone help me with details of where I can look for birth records? Any information will be gratefully received. Nadine Taylor

I had always wondered why my husband's g grandparents left Ireland in 1898 while in their 60s. They had land (tenant farmers, probably) and were educated. They transferred the land to a non-relative when they left. I just found out that their son, William O'Regan FitzGerald, had a warrant for his arrest hanging over his head. This was due to his writings for the Irish Cause. William and his brother, James, left Ireland about 1885 and came to New York City. My questions: Was there a newspaper that printed these articles in Cork? The name of the newspaper? Are copies in the National Archives or Library in Dublin? If a warrant was issued on William, is there a copy somewhere in the Archives? What about police records? Thanks. Nora Hopkins FitzGerald
