I have tried for many years to find out who his parents were and his wife's parents. John Meehan married Ellen O'Sullivan. I think in about 1816 give or take a couple of years. Please help if you can. Marie

On the website where you found the Oola tithes, it gives the film number as: 0256675 What is on the website is an index of all the names I found. I suggest you look at the film to see what other information it included.

Pat, I would say it is definitely possible. I have found ancestors moving quite often. One, a carpenter, appears to have following work, staying at one town or estate until he finished the job. He generally stayed in the same area, within about 20 miles. Another moved several times, apparently depending on where he could lease land. I think you may have hit paydirt, Good Luck -----Original Message----- From: Pat Connors <[email protected]> To: irl-limerick <[email protected]>; cotipperary <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Feb 7, 2011 7:19 pm Subject: [IRL-LIMERICK] Knockainy Civil Parish, County Limerick Last week, I transcribed the tithe applotments for this civil parish which s located not far from the County Tipperary border. One of the names I ound was Bryan O'Connor living in Baggotstown, the same name as my gr gr gr randfather. The tithes were dated 1833. His son, Timothy, my gr gr randfather, was born ca 1810 so this could be my ancestor, however, imothy's death cert has him and his parents born in County Tipperary. lso, Timothy was married in Tipperary RC parish but that is also where his ife was born and raised and usually one did get married in the wife's hurch. To add to this, I have also found a Timothy Connors in 1851 cited for eaving an unharnessed cart while in Tipperary Town. The clerk (Petty essions Court) wrote his address as 'Garryspillane, Galbally Parish. While lose to Galbally Civil Parish, Garryspillane was actually located in allyscaddan Civil Parish which is also not far from County Tipperary or nockainy Civil Parish. Until I can see the RC records for the area, I don't know whether this is my ryan O'Connor or not but I have been doing these tithes for years now and ave never found a Bryan O'Connor/Connors before so this one really gets me ondering if this is mine. Looking at the Discovery Map for the area, it ooks like Baggotstown is about 6 or so miles from Emly in County ipperary. Timothy emigrated to Troy NY where his brother William lived. n Williams' gravestone, it says he was born in Emly RC Parish, County ipperary. In 2008, while I was in Dublin, I looked at the Emly RC Parish airly quickly due to time constraints. For the time period of my search or William and/or Timothy's births, there were gaps in the records, so not inding their baptisms was not conclusive. So this brings me to my questions. Is it possible, that they moved around nd didn't stay put in the area where they were born and raised? Did they ollow the work? Any opinions? I don't know if it is wishful thinking on my art but I have a strong feeling that this might just be the guy I have been ooking for and was wondering what others, familiar with the area thought.

Basil, I have run across 2 Ballyhenry's. One was up in the civil parish of Bourney in No. Tipp, which wouldn't be all that far from Nenagh. The other was on the border of Cullen civil parish and Solohead civil parish in So. Tipp and not all that far from Oola. Oola and Solohead are now a combined RC parish. Ballyhenry in Bourney still exists as a townland, but the one in the south does not seem to have survived as a modern townland. Oola, Solohead and Cullen exchanged areas of land over the centuries, so if you are working on this one, you should look under all three civil and RC parishes. Oola records are in Solohead now and begin 1809-1810 in the diocese of Cashel & Emly. The one in the north is, I think, in the RC parish of Couraganeen and in the Diocese of Killaloe and I don't know when the records begin. Oola is in Limerick but on the Limerick/Tipp border and Cullen and Solohead are just inside the border in Tipp. Janet On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 12:55 AM, Basil Kealey <[email protected]> wrote: > For sometime now I have been searching for my gggggrandfather Darby(Jeremiah)Kealy's Family who the Irish birth records indicate was baptized in Nenagh,County Tipperary in 1794 with his father Daniel Kealy from Ballyhenry,County Tipperary and his mother Honora Scanell from Cork.I recently found the enclosed information from County Limerick,Oola Civil Parish 1826 -Coonagh Barony of several Kealy's-Keeley's-Keiley's residing in Ballyahiff,Kylenagoneeny,Oola Hills area in County Limerick .Can you help me with any information you can find on these family members.It is now thought that Darby Keally immigrated to Canada in 1829.-Thank you and kind regards.-Basil Kealey > > > > http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/LIM/OolaTithes.htm > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Pat, I think they did follow work and sometimes the wife's family if they had something to offer. I have seen a baptism held for one child in a more distant church than the rest, which implies a family reason. Anything is possible. Sounds like you are honing in on your guy.
