Surnames: Doyle Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WWC.2ACI/3290 Message Board Post: I am searching for information on a James Doyle born about January 10, 1811. On James' application for citizenship he stated he was born in the parish of Muckelvee, County Kilkenny, Ireland and emigrated to the USA in May 1831. The Muckelvee parish is believed to have been in the south-west corner of County Kilkenny in the Barony of Iverk. While it is thought to have existed alone as late as the 1850s; it now is a district within the Parish of Mooncoin. James is thought to have come from the Portnahully area and was thought to be the son of Patrick Doyle and Mary Quinn. I am looking for confirmation that the parish of Muckelvee did exist in the southern part of County Kilkenny around 1831. Also looking for descendants of Patrick Doyle and Mary Quinn.

RAVENALL is 'Huguenot' name in South Carolina. There were some of the family in Dublin earlier on.

Hi Maryann, I have been trying, without success, to find any information on my Grandfather's parents.

Hi Carol, I have book "Irish Land Owners in 1876" which lists anyone owning 1 acre or more of land in that year by county. I know this time frame is much later than your inquiry, but sometimes it is helpful in locating or giving hints where surnames congregated. In Kilkenny County there are no Pendergast's or Kelley's listed, which only means either they had left by 1876, or they didn't own land. I also checked Tipperary County because of it's proximity to Kilkenny County and the overlap in some cases of towns/villages. There are no "Pendergast's" listed but there are several "Prendergast" land owners. Since spelling changes aren't uncommon in genealogy, I thought I would list those people for you. Tipperary County - value is L for pounds and S for shillings: Prendergast, Archer, Landoff Lodge, Thurles, owned 343 acres, value 124 L 10 s Prendergast, James, The Castle, Ardfinnan, 15 acres, 21 L 0 s Prendergast, Jane Mary, Clonmel, 847 acres, 446 L 15 s Prendergast, Robert K., Netley, 230 acres, 302 L 5 s Prendergast, Rev. Thomas, Clonmel, 6 acres, 19 L 15 s Good luck with your search.
