I just found a Margaret Sullivan CHRISTENED on 4/19/1863 in >the Roman Catholic, Inchigeelagh Parish, Co Cork, IRE per the LDS IGI >index disk. I think it's the same person, but how does the Inchigeelagh >Parish in Cork relate to the town of Ballyvoige? Thanks for the help, >JOHN John...Some things don't add up...Ballyvoige townland is in the civil parish of Desertserges,R.C. parish of Enniskeane/Desertserges/Bandon. Inchigeelagh is the name of a civil parish..The name of the R.C. parish for that area is Iveleary. Both of these parishes are a few miles apart from each other. You can check the registers for both parishes through the LDS...The registers for Desertserges have a start date of 1813 and Iveleary registers have a start date of 1816. Hope this helps...Jim May God Bless You and Keep You [email protected]
