Hi Barbara My husband's great great grandfather, Denis Thomas Donoclift married Elizabeth Wolfe at Desertserges on 10 March 1831. That is the only information I have of these two. I would love to find their parents and siblings.

In particular Richard Wolfe married to Mary Hayes or any Hayes-Wolfe marriages in co Cork that anyone has in their genealogy work. So many of the marriages in the Cork Ross Marriage bonds index are my family lines and it is so heartbreaking not to have more information on them.Those 1700 and early 1800 records are so important.(the boohoo of many of us I expect) Were there any fragments left anywhere? How did the index survive but not the actual records? The Irish records would have been in British hands in those years did they never store Irelands records over in England anywhere? Were all Irish records always and completely stored in Ireland only.(guess I do not know my history) There would likely have been 1881 census for Ireland at same time as England .....were none of those kept in England either...were they destroyed in England in time of the troubles by the English or were they all kept in Dublin and destroyed in the fires there completely.(sorry if this stirs the hornets nest) I have copies of the 1881 census for the British Isles which includes Scotland, Wales and England etc so why was there none for Ireland? When county Cork people immigrated to England was there some particular areas where they tended to go. When county Cork folk went to USA was there particular states that drew them more than others, assumably where other family or friend had gone before? The census records often just list Ireland as place of birth, nothing so wonderful as county they came from it seems to me.
