Hello John, I've been thru my records (which are from around Skibbereen and Baltimore only] and I don't have anything on these Coffeys or Ellen McCarthy.

Mary - I'm going thru my research, unfortunately Whooley is not one of the 30 surnames that I'm researching around Skibbereen/Baltimore. However, I do have Whooleys in my family tree, and in some land research I've done. So here's what I can find: O in 1860, the following Hooley's had land in Lettertinlish, Skibbereen [just outside Skibbereen, known as Letter now]: Patrick, John Mary and Jeremiah. The surname in the land records was spelled Hooly. O in 1880s, there was a Margaret Hooly, John Hooly (Long) and John Hooly (Little) and Patrick Hooly in Lettertinlish. O in 1940s, the name was spelled Wholley and Whooley, although the name Hooly still appears in Lettertinlish. O in 1980s, there was a Denis P. Hooly and Josephine Hooly in Lettertinlish. 0 I believe there are still Whooleys in Lettertinlish. You might try to find them at eircom phone directory online, and write them. O There's an Emmett Whooley who lives in Lisheen, Skibbereen currectly. O I have an Ellen Whooley born in 1870 who married Michael Minihane [changed surname to Monahan]. Michael was from Ballyally, just east of Baltimore, not far from Skibbereen. Don't know where Ellen was born, but probably not far from Skibbereen. She died in Massachusetts. Had first child there in 1898. Sorry, I don't have more extensive info, but I do think that the Hooley is the same as Hooly, Whooley, and Wholley.

Hi Margaret, The name Driscoll has been reported as somehow associated with the Hooley name. I think there must have been some "breaking away" of some of the family, from what I have read but have not been able to go back far enough with my Hooleys to find out. However, thankyou for your suggestion and I will add Welley and its variations to my next search including Whooley. I have found a William Hooley married a Mary Haly in Athenry, Galway in 1808. So the name of Hooley was spelt this way on that occasion. Have also found on Family Search baptisms of Mary Hooley and William Hooley with parents called William and Mary....possibly the above William and Mary? Eldest son of G/grandfather Thomas Hooley b.1835 is called William and not Martin who is shown as the father of Thomas on his marriage certificate.of 1856...this has been a bit of a puzzle to me and I am still trying to work out if the other family names match the Irish naming pattern. Some yes and others no! Found a Martin Hooley in Cheshire Census 1841 but unmarried. Cannot even find Martins death which was before Thomas marriage...certificate showing he was deceased at that time. So you can see I have a big road to search. Wish me luck.

Mary, I agree with Jack, in as much as I would also look at the name Whooley. In the Griffith's Valuation there is just eleven Whooley's listed in all of Ireland, all being in County Cork. Therefore I found the following Whooley's. Catherine , Civil Parish of Ballinadie. Cornelius, Civil Parish of Kilbrittian. Daniel, Civil Parish of Kilbrittian. Denis, Civil Parish of Desertsergis. Denis, Civil Parish of Kilmacabea. James, Civil Parish of Kilcoe. Laurence, Civil Parish of Desertsergis. Margaret, Civil Parish of Kilbrittian. Michael, Civil Parish of Kilcoe. Timothy, Civil Parish of Kilbrittian. William, Civil Parish of Kilbrittian. To further narrow it down perhaps you may want to look at the naming pattern of the children. Hope this helps.

Barbara, When looking for matches of persons in Ireland before registration the only way that I know, which is indicative at the best, is to firstly find the county where both of the names exist, secondly the parish and thirdly the townland. I therefore looked for any commonality between the names of Smith and Cuddehy and found the following.... County Meath, Parish of Clonard, Townland of Longwood. Edward Cuddehy, Longwood Village, Fair Green. James Cuddehy, Longwood. Joseph Smith, Longwood. Patrick Smith, Longwood Village, Longwood Street. Rep. William, Longwood. County Tipperary, Parish Nenagh. William Cuddehy, Town of Nenagh, Church Street. Aquila Smith MD, Nenagh North. Aquilqa Smith MD, Shesheraghkeale . Charles Smith, Nenagh, Graces Street. James Smith, Nenagh, Pound Road. Robert Smith, Graces Street. I could not find any commonality with the names in any other county. Have you looked at the childrens names to see if there is a naming pattern? Hope this helps. John...Sydney

Hi Everyone. I am having a problem trying to find my Great Grandfather in Cork Ireland. On any census and on his death cert he claims to be from Cork or just Ireland. But my biggest problem with him is his birth date..he states 4 of them..1814/1816/1819 and 1820. But it has also been stated that he arrived in Nova Scotia in 1825..which seems impossible as I can find no other record of arrival for any parents, unless they died on the way across the puddle. He was a Liveryman by trade and also an artist as I have one of his paintings and it is unbelievably beautiful. His wife was Anne Graham born 1830 in Ireland?? and she arrived here in 1850. I have census records for 1881, 1891, 1901 and after his death in 1911 when he appears no more having died in 1910. The names of his children are Mary Ann, Margaret, Bridget, Daniel(who apparently went back to Ireland) and Annie..these may be names of siblings also. His grandchildrens names are James, Daniel and Margaret There are more grandchildren but I just included the repeat names. In my 30 years of searching it appears that GGrandfather does not want to be found and is pulling strings so that I do not achieve this goal. James was married in Nova Scotia and all his children born here. Should I keep my search in Cork or go elsewhere. My Dad always spoke of Cork and was proud of his Father. I have a pic of James and he was a BIG man..tall and very broad shouldered..must come from dealing with Horses. Can anyone help me with clues as to where else to search..www.irishgenelogy.ie has not been very helpful and rootsireland is just tooo expensive..especially when they want money up front and I don't know if the info is going to be of any help..sot of like going shopping for clothes with a blindfold on. THANKS for any help. Rita in Prince Edward Island.

I have a Whooley who married one of my distant Connolly cousins from Knockskagh (north of Leap, northeast of Skibbereen). The last time I was there, I think there was still a Whooley family living in Knockskagh. That would be in Kilmacabea parish. Sheila Connolly Middleboro, MA

Hi Mary My father, Sam Driscoll, came from a townland called Ardura beg which is near to Ballydehob and about 12 miles west of Skibbereen and when visiting as a child in the 50s I remember a neighbour called Mick Welley (presumably local pronunciation of Whooley).

The immigration records state that John was a teacher and both he and Ellen's mother were dead when she immigrated to Australia in 1857. Ellen Coffey's last place of employment was stated as Kinsale. I have tried for many years to determine as to where my g.g.grandmother was from without any luck. Any help you may be able to give to me would be greatly appreciated. John...Sydney

Hi John, I just noticed I forgot to mention that I went to the "Archives Search" feature and found a very old posting on some List which offered several variations on the CUDDY surname. So, I'm looking for the origins of a Michael SMITH and Julia CUDDEHY of mid-1800's Ireland. Thank you for responding. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)
