Hmm, I wonder whether there might be a connection between your family and this Ferris family. In Spring 2006 we stayed overnight at their newly opened B&B. John Ferris is a musician and jaunting cart driver, and I believe he said the B&B was located on longtime family land. In retrospect I wished we'd hired him and his cart to go to/through the Gap of Dunloe (and back). I think that would have given a unique perspective on the area of the apparently several townlands to the south of the gap (in Templenoe RC Parish) that at least my Shea/O'Shea ancestors lived in (not sure about the Doyles and Foleys) in the early and mid-19th century. But, alas, after our overnight stay, we just drove back out to the north (to the N72), went east to Killarney and did some sightseeing there and nearby, then drove the N71 and R568 to Sneem. Actually, now that I just looked at some of the YouTube videos on the Gap of Dunloe (accessed by the Google Maps page on the Gap of Dunloe), it seems that at least some (perhaps brave?) people drive the cart road. Ah, maybe on the next trip.... http://www.ferriswheel.ie Marge ________________________________ From: Meg Kenagy <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, August 23, 2010 10:22:46 PM Subject: [IRL-KERRY] Ferris Hello, Listserve from Oregon -- You are a wealth of wonderful information! Does anyone have an idea of where to find a death record or information on this subject: The 1911 census shows my ggg grandmother, Hannah (Joanna) Ferris, age 79 living in Groin, Killarney with her son and family. I have been unable to find a death record in the Irish civil registration Index on familysearch.org or on the RC records online. Any advice or where I should look next?
