Hi, I have been going through the archives of this mailing list and have seen a few links to the Coffey/Coffee family and was wondering if anyone could help me to place mine. My great great great grandmother was Eliza Coffey. She married Edward Perry and they had 9 children in Liscannor County Clare. Eliza died in 1865 and her obituary (thanks Declan) says that she was the daughter of Francis Coffee, land surveyor. Eliza would have been born about 1822. I suspect her mother may have been Jane Coffey. Jane holds the same lands in Griffiths that Francis Coffee does in the tithe books. Jane died in 1875 and the informant is Edward Perry, although no relationship is given. I have found Francis Coffey's obituary and he died in 1844, at what appears to be a young age. I have also come across several maps in the NLI that he did and reference to the fact that he was the valuer for Ennistymon Union. On this list a few years ago, someone said that they had a "Francis COFFEY born c.1790 married Jane O'DWYER of Kilrush granddaughter of the famous Jenny BUTLER whose 6 daughters married KENNY, SHANNON, MAHON, KELLY, O'DWYER, O'GORMAN". I wonder if these could be my Francis and Jane? I hope that someone can help me to piece all of this information together!

Dear Vicki I can only say that a Frank Coffee was a friend/relative of my great grandfather Michael O'Donoghue and they came to Australia on the same ship. In the Irish family tree, a John Coffee married Anna O'Donoghue (b. 1813) sister of my great grandfather and they had eight children. Eliza and Jane are not among the names I have.
