Cork was named Ellen Fleming, she married James Roche in l865, in Cork. Her mother may also have been called Ellen, born approx l820, not sure of place of birth. Thanks, Colman Ahern, >> Not sure when the ice age ended in Cork, but I do have a FLEMING relative in Cork City. Anastasia (Anstey) FLEMING is listed as the mother of my g-g- grandfather, Michael CONDON, b. 1843 in St Finbarr's South Chapel. I don't know anything about her except that there is a lady with the same name listed as the mother of a previous child with the name Michael CONDON b. 1832 (died prior to 1843?) and also listed as the mother of a Samuel HOBBS, b. 1808. The first name strikes me as bit unusual, so I think that all three occurances may be the same woman. The dates do seem a bit spaced, though, so I'm not sure. ************************************************ Deborah Pesa CONDON surname Queens, NY list administrator http://www.egroups.com/list/condon-surname/ http://members.aol.com/Dpesa/home.html Ma bhuaileann tu mo mhadra buailfidh tu me fein. - Irish proverb *************************************************
