I just googled 'Old townlands of Cork that begin with Drom' Drom=a ridge. I didn't look at all the sites-time consuming. I did not find it. If you don't find it, perhaps it's not a townland but the name of a house, farm or area? Maggie the Dub

Perhaps I did not copy your words correctly, but I did not come up with any old names for Irish townlands. Were you able to find Droumlisheen or Dromilisheen in Co. Cork? janfortado@comcast.net

Hello, Thank you to the help with my questions. Yesterday I was reminded that researchers have found out that John H. FITZGERALD, b~1858 Ireland, had a brother, Michael F. FITZGERALD, b~1865 Ireland, with him in Boston. In an 1890 directory, both brothers and their wives were living in "Haymarket Square." (Lynn St., Boston) And both were "fish dealers." The 1900 census had Michael married for 20 yrs., and immigrating in 1878. I haven't had a chance to try to find out more about the brother, Michael. But, it means the FITZGERALD siblings we are close to have more what I call "very distant cousins" than they were aware of. I'm just offering this in case it will help someone else with FITZGERALD research. By the way, a researcher has found out that, when John's 2 teen-age sons were orphaned in 1893, they went to live with an aunt's family: Mrs. Mary (SMITH) COSTELLO. So, Catherine Mary (SMITH) FITZGERALD, b~1855 Ireland, had a sister, Mary. And, it looks like the COSTELLO couple only had one child, a daughter, Delia ?, who might not have married. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (I have access to USA census information through "HeritageQuest" from my local library. These census pages can only be found through an Index, and the COSTELLO family was not in the Index. I only found them when I searched for the teen-age, Michael FITZGERALD. I tried other spellings of COSTELLO and still couldn't find them in the Index.)

If you search irishgeneology / the hunt for a townland, you might get some info there on old townlands. Cheers.

I tried to send message direct to your it was returned - should appear on Cork list message.

I do not know anything except what is below about the Mulcahy's, and have no idea where Bruff is. Denis Mulcahy#1 born 1804- baptized in Boherbue RC church, married Julia Cronin approx, 1834 They had at least these two sons Denis #2 ( 1834) and John ( 1835) there may have been other children. Denis Mulcay #2 and Margaret Ring* married in Kanturk RC church 1854? Denis #2 was a laborer. (he died in Cork city in 1877) Denis #3 b. 1860. They also had Margaret and Nora/Hanora, who was my grandmother b. 1859. Other children born before Denis, Nora and Margaret, (they may have died either at birth or very young, and two of them were named Margaret and Hanora.) The family lived in Watergate and in Bluepool areas of Kanturk. In approx 1884 Denis #3 came to USA. settled in NYC, married a Nora Cronin, had 2 children there and moved to Calif. in 1890, where they had 9 more. They both died in the 1920's in San Francisco. *Margaret Ring Mulcahy (their Mother) came to NY approx 1888 may have stayed with either dtr. Nora who arrived in NYC about 1884, or Denis, maybe both. She died in Ca. in 1890s. Nora/Hanora stayed in NYC , married a John Sullivan had 8 children, was widowed by 1890, only 3 living children by then, She then married John Carmody in 1900/1901. They had only one living son, John, who was my Father. Nora died in 1914, husband John died in 1926, and their son John in 1966. None of them left any documents as to any pertinent information regarding family. The reasons the Denis Mulcahy's are numbered is because there are so many Denis names in family on both sides, it was easier to remember who was who. The John* Carmody who married Nora (Mulcahy/Sullivan) was born in Middlesex, Eng. 1863 to a Denis Carmody #1 and Johanna??? both born in Cork. They had 4 children, Patrick, Annie, John* and Denis #2. Only John left England for the USA in 1889. They had a cousin Patrick Carmody of Kilbrin, Cork who I am trying to find a descendent of , possibly for family info. If you have a connection I would like to know.

I see others speaking out about these elusive rellies leaving Cork 1840's to go to Wales and England. It is easy to find info once there due to the many resources in GB. I have also been unable to get them back to Cork. In Merthyr Tydfil Wales marriages 1849 William Reardon father Timothy m. Mary Collins father Timothy 1853 Timothy Collins father Timothy m. Margaret Murphy father Maurice my gggparents. She was married first to a Buckley apparently in Cork 1853 Richard Casey father William m. Honora Murphy father Maurice 1826 Maurice Murphy born Cork father Maurice I have lots of info on the family and extended family from 1849 on just wish I could find before. Joan

<<Trish - I don't see anything in my records for these Daly men.   Barbara>>   Barb--Thank you for your help.  Trish

My great grandparents came from West Cork, town unknown but possibly near Kilbrin or Liscarroll areas. I have the names of the great grandparents who because of the famines in 1850's made their way over to England ( Middlesex area) for work. My great grand father, Denis Mulcahy was a agricultural labourer/farmer, according to British census of 1871-1901. At some point in time during the 1880's a cousin/nephew of Denis, made his way over from Kilbrin. He was Patrick Carmody to stay in same area as my great grandparents. Denis and wife, Johanna had 4 children, Patrick, Johanna/Annie, John, and Denis. Only John made it to the USA, became a citizen and joined the US Army, then married a widow, Nora Mulcahy Sullivan, from Kanturk, Cork. I know that the other 3 children stayed in Middlesex area, Patrick was a guard at asylum in W. Drayton,and stayed single, Annie married a John Carter, Denis joined the Metropolitan Police, also stayed single. I have managed to trace thru the Carter family, some info as to family but no one knows exactly where in Cork, the parents Johanna and Denis Carmody came from to be able to trace back any info, in over 40 years of tracking. I am now trying to concentrate on the cousin Patrick Carmody of Kilbrin , he married a Norah Healy about 1887 near Uxbridge, I think. They worked and lived at St. Mary's Orpahange, last known to be a farm hand there . Together, they had 11 children, among them a Michael, Thomas, Hannah, Margaret, Andrew, Ellen, Kate, Norah, and probably a Mary. ( That's all the names I could find). I am hoping to find a descendent of one of the children who might have some family info/lore of the Carmody family. If anyone knows someone by the last name Carmody, please pass this on. I am hoping some kind soul would make a copy of the current telephone directory of Middlesex , and mail me a copy, so I could possibly snail mail the people and see IF they would have any knowledge of these illusive Carmody's from the past. I would gladly pay charges of copy and snail mailing. I am clutching at straws here, I know, but after all the years and money spent I can only try one more time. I live in Florida, USA. I have tried the 192.com site but it would cost a small fortune for site listings to join for the info they have. I could probably fly over and stay a day or so and make copy myself, with the costs of Ancestry, 192.com and others. Thank you for any help you can give. I never got to know my grandparents as they died before I was born. My Father knew little about the family when I finally got to be with him as an adult my having grown up in RC homes.I would love to know some info of the family before I meet them face to face someday (LOL).
