My Michael A Driscoll was born in September 1833 in Bantry, but not McMichael parish. His father was Cornelius Driscoll. Michael followed the Irish naming traditions for his children: Cornelius, Catherine, Ellen, Hanorah, Anna, Michael, Mary, Francis. It's possible Michael and your James were cousins. My researcher in Ireland says the parish records are in extremely poor condition and hard to read. She said it was not worth doing more research unless we were able to develop more clues from this side of the Atlantic. So far nothing, so we will all continue on digging.
