John Thanks for the suggestion, it was through the South Chapel website what I found out that Patrick had been baptised there, but I haven't had an answer to my question to them about the marriage of Cornelius and Molly. Maybe I just need to wait a little longer ... Again, thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I am researching my Uncle's family tree, and all I know so far is that he was born in Cork (the City) on 23 September 1904. His name was Patrick Dineen, and he was the son of Cornelius Dineen and his wife, Mary Dorgan, known as Molly. Molly may have come from Kinsale, just south of Cork, and her mother was (I think) called Alice). Cornelius was born approximately 1879, also in Cork, I believe. I am told Cornelius and Molly had seven children baptised at St Finbarr's Church, Cork, Patrick being the eldest, so I would imagine the marriage would have taken place sometime between 1897 & 1904. I would like to send off for a marriage certificate for Cornelius and Mary, but need a little more information to enable me to apply. Can anyone tell me if there are any indexes of Marriages in Cork which will help me to pinpoint the location and date ? Thanks for reading.... Eunice Cubbage

yes the writer of the letter was a relative with the title of "District Immigration Agent for the Division of Immigration & Americanization" and the letter was dated November 6, 1957. It provides the only clue so far as to the location in Ireland I should be searching......would marriage records be there also?

Oh, by the way, in the context of birth registrations, Kilmacthomas was quite likely to have been the local registration district, (though you would need to check that to be certain) and was certainly the local chief registration district. i.e. in looking for a birth records they would be looking for a birth in the Kilmacthomas poor law union/ chief registration district.

I have an old letter requesting information for my great grandfather. It says he was born in "the Parish of Fews, Rathmaiden, Kilmacthomas, County Waterford, Ireland". From what I can tell aren't Rathmaiden and Kilmacthomas two seperate towns in the county of Waterford? Thanks for any help...

No, neither are towns. Rathmaiden is a townland, which is not a town at all, while Kilmacthomas is a village, and would have been the local post office. So, what you have is a detailed address: Rathmaiden, civil parish of Fews, postal district Kilmacthomas, Co. Waterford. Clearer? Regards, The Chief

I have an old letter requesting information for my great grandfather. It says he was born in "the Parish of Fews, Rathmaiden, Kilmacthomas, County Waterford, Ireland". From what I can tell aren't Rathmaiden and Kilmacthomas two seperate towns in the county of Waterford? Thanks for any help...

Transcribed from the 16 September 1824 edition of The Enniskillen Chronicle & Erne Packet newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Singular Military Character. Head-Office, London.--A young man, of prepossessing manners and Gentlemanlike address, but rather simply attired, was brought before the Sitting Magistrates, under care of a file of the 48th Foot, and handcuffed. He was attended into the Board-room by a private of the 48th, carrying a musquet with bayonet fixed. The name of the young man is Clements Harris; the charge against him, and sworn to, is that of being a deserter from the 45th Foot. He stated in his defence, that he did not consider himself a deserter; admitting, however, that he had enlisted into that corps in 1817, for a period of seven years. He said, that having remained one year with the regiment, he obtained a furlough for a month; he was then arrested for the sum of 23l. [£23] and placed in Monaghan gaol, where, however, he did not state that he had been kept in close custody, for that the Sheriff had indulged him with the privilege of going abroad sometimes; he was all the while in the custody of that Sheriff. An advertisement descriptive of his person, &c., had been published in The-Hue-and-cry. He wrote to the regiment, advising the officers of his arrest. He was removed to the Four Courts' Marshalsea, under a Habeas Corpus; paid the debt on Tuesday night, and, as he remarked, was then handed over to the custody of the Provost Marshal, by the Civil Power, without being allowed time to change his apparel, the common dress he wore about the yards, for better attire, which, together with considerable property in bills and notes, remained in his trunks in the prison. He said he had been apprenticed to Mr. Fleming, Attorney, of the county Monaghan. We understood that it is understood he was married to the daughter of the gaoler of Monaghan, who, with her father, is now deceased; and it is said also, that when a writ and warrant for his removal thence to Dublin was sent down to Monaghan, somebody stole it, therefore he might have continued there had he not caused his own removal by Habeas Corpus on the 19th of May last. He says that he is a connexion of the Mazarine Family[,] has been long followed by some enemies, whose object is seeking to prosecute him as a deserter as he has a claim to 1500l. [£1500] a year on an estate, to which he says he is clearly entitled. The Magistrates acting on sworn informations, remanded him on the charge of desertion, while awaiting the orders of the proper military authorities. [...] -- Dublin Paper. =======================

I am researching my Uncle's family tree, and all I know so far is that he was born in Cork (the City) on 23 September 1904. His name was Patrick Dineen, and he was the son of Cornelius Dineen and his wife, Mary Dorgan, known as Molly. Cornelius was born approximately 1879, also in Cork, I believe. I am told Cornelius and Molly had seven children baptised at St Finbarr's Church, Cork, Patrick being the eldest. The other children were : Mary Cornelius Norah Michael John Margaret Jeremiah I'd be interested to hear from anyone who could give me advice on how to find anything else about these Dineens, or from anyone able to search the St Finbarr's registers for me. Many thanks Eunice Cubbage
