Knockskagh is near Mountain Common, Ardfield. This is a few miles south of Clonakilty, County Cork. My mother's father was from Mountain Common . As far as I know Connolly's still live around there. Google turned up the following CONNOLLY From: Knockskagh, near Leap, Co. Cork Date: 27 Mar 1999 Time: 09:19:42 Comments I'm trying to sort out what happened to all the siblings of my grandfather John Connolly, who emigrated to New York in 1907. Sibs were Michael, Catherine, Mary, Jeremiah, Ellen, Thomas, Patrick, Julia and Denis. Ellen and Julia also emigrated. Some were said to have gone to Australia. I think Patrick took over the family farm. Any info? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 02 March 2009 13:11 To: [email protected] Subject: Subject: Re: Cork emigrant to Australia I too have some Cork relatives who are said to have gone to Australia, all early in the 20th century. The family stories were a bit vague, but one great-aunt went to visit them in the 1930s, I believe (she told my mother about it). The names are Michael, Jeremiah, Thomas and Denis Connolly, brothers from Knockskagh. Thomas seems the most likely, but the others are unaccounted for as well. Their youngest brother John was my grandfather, but I never knew him. Sheila Connolly Middleboro, MA **************Need a job? Find employment help in your area.

Hi John found your reply interesting. What is NLI pos? Any of these records on line? I have found memories of Sydney. Been there three times. In 1980 I found that my husband had about 30 relatives in Australia. In 1983 even got to Mt. Isa and the Gregory Downs, Townsville, Cairns. Melbourne, and many others towns where family lived. Three reunions in Ireland. Fond memories. Jackie Sullivan **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Thanks Steve - tried that but the page content has simply disappeared! The main Bandon Genealogy site is still there, it is just the guest book page which has been lost. If I search using the guest book URL I simply get the domain page of the service provider, which is under reconstruction it seems. Will advise when we have a new guest book up and running and those who posted messages previously might like to return and post afresh.

Hi June, You have just contacted the best Rootsweb Irish County site, only problem you will be leaving us to join the Sligo county site. Your illusive little Rose stated in most census returns that she was born in Ireland, in the 1901 census she stated that she was born in Wellington, Shropshire, but in the 1861 return she stated Sligo, Ireland, her husband was Edward and I also get the feeling that some more of her family may have been floating around Shropshire and maybe married to a Picken.

Hi again Helen - on M Grogan's website there is some information regarding Castletownroche/Ballyhooley: http://myhome.ispdr.net.au/~mgrogan/cork/cork_rc.htm Not sure what date this was done so the contact details may be out of date. But a letter to the PP in either place (or both) might get a response. Worth a try if you haven't already done this. At least it might establish what records survive for Ballyhooley. According to John Grenham - Mallow has the Casteltownroche records but he does not mention Ballyhooley. However on the Irish Times Ancestors site (which I think John Grenham administers) the same information is recorded under the heading Castletownroche/Ballyhooley, with the added information that it does not include originals held in local custody. http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/counties/rcmaps/corkerc.htm Sorry this is not more helpful to you.

HI I am new to this list and I am hoping that someone out there is also researching this particular family. I wish I had more information and apologize for the lack of it but even so this is what I do have. Rose Doherty born 1835 in Ireland, died in Nottingham England in 1910. She married Edwin Picken on the 5th Sept.1858 in Wellington, Salop, Shropshire, England. They had 6 children, John 1858, Edward 1860, Sarah Ann 1863, Edward 1867, Thomas 1876. Alfred 1878 The children were all born in Wellington, Shropshire, apart from Alfred who was born in Nottingham. I know that Rose's father was Thomas Doherty who was born in Ireland, but sadly I do not know the county Does anyone know anything about this family. Regards June

Thanks Janet - we tried that but it just takes us to the website page of the provider which appears to be under reconstruction. The Bandon website manager is attempting to contact them, so far without success. So we may have to add a guest book page using a different service - all far too complex for me but understood by the other half of the team!

Hi listers. Just to let you know that for reasons beyond our control we seem to have 'lost' our Guest Book link on the Bandon website. Sadly, all the messages left there have been 'lost' as well. We hope to get another one up and running so if you left a message previously and would like to re-leave it, please keep a look out for the new page. Not sure how long this will take. In the meantime, if you are researching in and around the Bandon area, do take a look. www.bandon-genealogy.com/ Regards, Patsy - New Zealand

Reminds me of the time my husband went to register the birth of our first child, a daughter. He smiled at the cheerful policeman who took down the details at our nearest "cop shop". , When asked when he was married he said July 1952 when asked the date of daughters birth he said 19th August......the policeman looked at him with raised eyebrows, to which my flustered husband added, yeah but the following year 1953! The kids still tease us about this!!!

Might it be a mis-spelling of Conva?

I think it helps to remember that any census record is (usually,) only as good as its informant.....that it's not the record that is wrong but the person who gave the information. When this happened to me I asked myself what the informant had tied up in giving wrong information, because surely he knew where he was born? As it turned out, he didn't, so obviously he hadn't been listening! Or, did he know and have some other reason for not revealing his place of birth? Whatever, it's worth investigating what appear to be mistakes. . The other problem with the censuses, in my case English, is the difficulty in deciphering the enumerator's handwriting on the original images. I am very grateful to volunteer transcribers and appreciate what they have done for family researchers, because even if they don't get it exactly right, they are usually close. Off topic, but amusing: one of my great grandfathers must have been so excited about the birth of his first child that on the registration form he stated that he and his wife were married in South Australia, just one year before the son's birth. I have their Victorian marriage certificate. What it told me was that they must have spent some time living in S.A., and sure enough, after investigation, they had.
