Since I first posted my interests I have found out a few more details, so am reposting: Michael WALSH born about 1852 married Ellen O'DONOGHUE born about 1854. Think they were born and married in Cork as their son Peter Paul was baptised in Blarney Village in 1878. William MACKEY born about 1830 married Kate/Catrin surname unknown born about 1834 in Cork. Their two eldest children were both born in Cork, William about 1850 and Mary Ann about 1853. Would love to hear from anyone with information on these families. Jean
