<<I did find rellies but it sends you to find my past in England/Wales a paying site.>>   It is a great site, but not all the info is free.    I think this LDS site (Church of Latter Day Saints/Mormon) only prints what they have copies of, and certain US Census years.  Other agencies may have proprietary rights to the info that LDS has "indexed", so LDS can't print that info.    If you sign up for a free account with familysearch, you get access to more images, I believe, but not all are free.  In Cleveland, OH, the libraries subscribe to "Ancestry.com", and "Footnote" and you get free access at the library location.    Regards, Trish

Colman, === The below links are for online OS maps of Ireland. === Thanks for the info on the OS site viewer. I have seen it mentioned before, but for me, it's not practical. I'm on a slow dial-up (max 37 kbps) with an old operating system (Win98) and I've never been able to make those sites work for me.

Peter or others, Try sending an email to Eamon Lankford at the placenames website, he may be able to help for more obscure placenames. He's a cousin of mine and has been working for several years on the place names project. www.placenames.ie The below links are for online OS maps of Ireland. A lister had posted this link some time age, it is very useful and should be bookmarked. The first has online searchable maps, the positioning and enlarging of any particular area takes a bit of practice. If you want the old 6" per mile series click on its link first and then enlarge and position as needed. I tried Dunmanway, the detail is quite good. If the publicviewer link won't work as I posted it try the second one and click on Map Viewer. http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,591271,743300,0 http://shop.osi.ie/Shop/Products/Default.aspx#historic Colman Ahern.

And that would seem to me to be your most likely location. Ballynaloughy has a mile-long border along its North side with Skehanagh townland, and a 3/4-mile border on its West side with Farlistown. Ballyhooleen is a couple of miles to the NNW. Pete - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts </HTML>

Yes, I realize that Dromilisheen is in the RC parish of Dunmanway. I had listed several marriages on my original request - all from the RC parish of Dunmanway. My question: Where is this townland located today?

Ideas welcomed on the " correct " version of a townland that appears in the Ballinhassig / Ballinhassig Goggin's Hill, Ballyheady & Ballygarvan parish as BALLINLOHO and BALLINATOHD There is a townland Ballynaouhy, also a Ballyhooleen in this parish, and if anything I think that it is the former, the only other place that I can think of is Ballinlough in southeast Cork city, just north of Douglas, but this place is far from the parish. This townland is mentioned in a baptismal entry of a HONORA McCARTHY in Oct 1875 in BALLINLOHO. Her father was JOHN McCARTHY, and her mother BRIDGET MURPHY, sponsors Thomas O' Flaherty ( the O' Flahertys were the National School Teachers in Ballyhooleen ) and Catherine Horgan. This couple married in 1873; JOHN McCARTHY and Bridget Murphy, both of Rigsdale, witnessed by Thomas O' Flaherty again and Hannah McCarthy. Also a marriage in August 1876 between JOHN McCARTHY of BALLINTOHD and HENRIETTA COLLINS of Coolatuder, witnessed by John Barry and Mary Kearney. And a son born to them, DENIS McCARTHY of Keilaminogue, baptised September 1877, sponsors Jeremiah Collins and Margaret Daly. John died in September 1900 and Henrietta appears in the 1901 census in Farlistown, and 1911 census on her own land in Skehanagh along with Denis and her other children who were born too late to be included on the parish register that appear online. I am interested in all this because I'm 99% certain that the second John is my g grandfather's youngest brother, but the witness / sponsor to the first John, Thomas O'Flaherty is also intriguing as his family is also related to ours and a Michael O'Flaherty was witness in my g grandparents, JEREMIAH McCARTHY and CATHERINE CALLAGHAN 's wedding in Ballyheady in 1867. So we have two John McCarthys from different townlands but with connections. I also am certain, from other examples, that the place mentioned in a marriage register is not necessarily the place that that person was born. As you can imagine, sorting out the McCarthy branches in this neck of the woods is quite a challenge........... Mary

Pat, you wrote: Try this search string in Google. Be sure to be exact.?A possibility for you appeared. Also, consider drom* ? cork ~townland (drum*) Was I supposed to put in - cork ~townland (drum*) I am not sure what townland you saw.

Hello, Anyone searching for Spillane? I found a John Hanley B. 1866 on the lds site whose mothers name is Francis Spillane. There's a possibility this John Hanley could be me other half's ggfathers brother as himself has been told that he's related to Mickey Spillane, the actor. Granfather Patrick Hanley is reportedly from Ardpatrick. Any input, however small is appreciated. Maggie the Dub

Dromilisheen is in the R.C. Parish of Dunmanway. This is what I got when I googled 'Dromilisheen Ireland' Maggie the Dub

Hi Jenny No, apparently he was brought over to be the Music Director for St Patrick's RC Cathedral, however it was knocked down to make way for a larger building, so he was the organist for St Francis' Cathedral instead, until his death in 1864. (Hmmmmm - I have just found two children of his married at St Mary's, Kilda by the Very Revd Dr Corbett in 1886. My James' children were baptised Ch of Ireland, so this requires a bit more investigation on my part.) Regards Sandra Jenny Stiles wrote: > Hi Sandra, > Would that be St James Cathedral in Melbourne?

Hi Sandra, Would that be St James Cathedral in Melbourne? If so, my 3 X Great Grandfather Rev Michael Henry Becher was incumbent there from 1861 to 1883, so they would have known each other. >From Jenny, Sydney, Australia My Family History Website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~becher/index.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "SandyY" <sandyyd@tpg.com.au> To: "Dennis Ahern" <ahern@world.std.com> Cc: "TG Wilkinson" <tgwilkinson@hotmail.com>; <irl-cork@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 7:59 AM Subject: Re: Cork Examiner Archives > Hello Dennis > > Thank you so much for these transcripts - I am in the middle of breaking > down one of my biggest brick walls!

Just a follow on from my last email......Have found aThomas Mullins with his parents and siblings in Anglesborough in Limerick for my friend in the 1901 Census . Just heard from him that he thinks this is the right family. Also a big bonus as I have found my grandparents Sheehy with my Mum aged 13 and her siblings in the 1901 Census of Kerry. I had not been able to find them before so feeling very happy today.. It is so good when we find our ancestors isnt it? That troublesome brick wall is starting to get holes in it at last..Back to do more searching.

Hello Dennis Thank you so much for these transcripts - I am in the middle of breaking down one of my biggest brick walls! Yesterday I also found out from a cathedral in Melbourne that Wm Augustus Wilkinson was brought out from Dublin to be the organist at a cathedral there. By way of explanation.......I feel he may be the uncle of my Thomas Scott Wilkinson WELSBY- son of James WILKINSON of Baggot St.. Thomas also played music and taught piano under the name of Wilkinson in the wilds of Queensland - and was lost in the bush. (I'm lucky to be here! :) Don't know why he sometimes used the name Welsby. Thanks to Irish Genealogy, I found he had a sister - Ellen Welsby WILKINSON. (Oh.... the mystery of it all.)

Thanks for that seanruad site folks. Just found a townland for a friend. I have been looking for a Englesboro which was written as his grandsfathers birthplace. Of course it was Anglesborough in Limerick. Great site. Thanks again. Now to look for the birth of Thomas Mullins born about 1888 and find other members of his family. Kind regards, Mary

Hi John, I notice the original reference to this name mentions Dunmanaway as the parish. Looking on a list of townlands for Dunmanaway there is one possibility, which you may already have considered and discarded, and that is Derrylahan. I wonder if the priest abbreviated the name and it then looked like Dinlahan?? (or had bad handwriting!!) Just a thought. The lister Maggie mentioned is, I think, Pete who signs himself Peter Scherm - he has great knowledge of townlands and his views would be worth having on this.
