Thank you, Kerry. It's very kind of you to take the time to do these lookups. As I said, I'm always grasping at straws. The problem I have is 6 tombstones all saying Limerick.

Helen, pardon the intrusion but saw your mention that "I believe there was a protestant marriage further back, hence the name 'William'" and am curious...is the name William a dead give away that someone was Protestant or something? I know very well that my own ancestor Michael William SHANAHAN was Roman Catholic but have suspicions that he may have been from a "mixed" marrige--his mother Bridget LUBY perhaps Catholic and her spouse Thomas SHANAHAN Roman Catholic (or vice versa) so your mention of the name William caught my eye. If this is the case, are there other given names which give indications or clues as to someone's religion? What about the given names Henry, Charles, Richard or Frederick, for example???

Hello Kerry. If you could, would you please check on a John BOURKE and his wife Margaret maiden Meaney Two of their children that came with them were Laurence Bourke (b1814 ) and Mary Ellen BOURKE (b. 1826 ), death certificates of the latter would indicate they arrived in Melbourne in 1841. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Ian Sorry that is the extent of the Bounty records on CD, these records include wives and children of convicts and ones sent over to replace convict labour when it ceased in NSW. I have found that many take the gold rush era as the time their family arrived, but have found that the convicts started many chains of migrations, also the Bounty migrants that by the time the gold rush happened in the early fifties individuals arriving already had sibling or aunts, uncles and cousins etc in the colony, also when I have gone through the workhouse books you will find families sending money back to help others to leave. Records after this can be searched at the link below this covers assisted immigration and some of the Gold rush era, of course each state has its own immigration records. http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/archives/record_series_1653.asp Kerry

G'day Kerry Any change that you may extend the search into the 1850s? My lot left Limerick just a little later! regards Ian : Over the next few days only, I will look up Bounty immigrants from Limerick : to Australia 1828-1842 if anyone is interested these records quite often : record the parents names and townland. : : Kerry :

Hi List, as I am reading your posts I see an awfully lot of familiar surnames from the Platte County Nebraska List that Iam also on. For some of you who cant find who you're looking for you might give it a try..A lot of terrific knowledgeable people on that list too. Cris

Liz, You're probably right. However, he was over here making a good living. He might not have had anything to fear by saying such a thing to me. Then again, he could have been a IRA wannabe, who knows.

Hi List Im hoping one of you, maybe someone in Ireland, might know of this story and can help me find out more about it. Once long ago I had been in contact with a person named "Jer Kennelly" in Ireland. he (?) related a story to me of some church bells that were unearthed on KENNELLY property that were hundreds (I think) years old and were then put in a museum or returned to a church???? I know this isnt much to go on, but I thought such a find might just be something someone has heard of..anyone? He also told me of a story about a KENNELLY man that moved so often he never emptied his horse cart..I dont know what a horse cart is. Beryl, I know we have discussed our KENNELLY'S before but Im sorry I cant remember if we ever came to any conclusion. Would you have heard of either of these two incidents in relation to your KENNELLY'S Thanks Cris

Pam thank you very much for your reply. Iam going to pass your email on to someone on the Platte County Nebraska list who is searching the MANGAN name...Strange indeed, as I have come across this name in various searches where I think I might find a LANGAN. Cris Atwater California

Hi John thank you very much..could you tell me how I would proceed from here? How I would find out the given names of these LANGAN's that seemed to be spread out. The town names Ive come across most frequently are Askeaton, Shannagolden, Rathkeale and Limerick, Kerry was also noted somewhere in something I came across. My other great grandfathers (Lawrence or Laurence FITZSIMMONS) obit and death cert. only say Meath, so perhaps I had LANGAN's there also. Im also looking for CARRIG's who may lived near the LANGAN's as, James CARRIG and Ellen LANGAN,sister of my greatgrandfather Maurice Sylvester LANGAN came to the USA together about 1857, they married n Canada and settled in Ilinois before Nebraska. But I havent found the CARRIG's in Ireland yet either. Thank you again, Cris

Kitty, I have Michael Rohan m. Nov 27, 1832 to Elizabeth Dolan in the Parish of Parteen/Meelick. Michael & Elizabeth are my gr gr grandparents. They immigrated to Chicago IL c. 1874.

I hope you realize that someone in the IRA would never discuss such a thing, right? Every culture has it's village idiot, sounds like you ran into one of them.

Hi Helen Yes, I know parts of your family would love to know more especially re Timothy. Main info I know is that Margaret was married to John Canty at Campbelltown, when he died she married John Raleigh also from Ballyhahill area. These Raleigh's were related to Hurley's of Whiskeyhall (Finnoo). Where she settled south of Cootamundra around Cungegong (Frampton) area there were also other families from the same area in Ireland such as Michael Coughlan, Murtagh and Thomas Culhane and of course John Hurley who had the Cootamundra run. Also there was Patrick O'Donnell who's uncle James Fitzpatrick was born Newcastle West and is known by his association with Hume the explorer, he also had land there. There are no Hynes at the Glin schools Margaret may have had a sister Elizabeth Hynes who married Patrick Culhane (Loughill) on the 27 Feb 1867; their witnesses were Michael Hynes and Michael Culhane. All their children were baptized in Glin and are as follows: Mary 1867 sponsor Ellen Nash Ellen 1869 sponsors Thomas and Johanna Culhane John Jan 1870 sponsors Michael and Johanna Culhane Michael Mar 1871 sponsors Michael and Anne Hynes Catherine Feb 1873 sponsors Maurice Culhane and Anna Hynes John* Sep 1874 sponsors Michael Hynes and Bridget Culhane Bridget Dec 1877 sponsors John and Maria Mulvihill Anna April 1876 sponsors Thomas and Maria Mullins *The first John may have died. On Mary's entry they are listed as living at Loughill Kerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken & Helen Harris" <khar9172@bigpond.net.au> To: <irl-limerick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] HYNES family > Hello Kerry, Was very interested to read the post below.

Getting back to the purpose of the original posting, I have Catholic ancestors in both counties Kerry and Limerick. Regional differences may have accounted for popularity of personal names, even within the same religion. The personal names of my various family members in Limerick include William and David, for instance, while in Kerry I have not found these names at all in my family lines - the most common male ones there were John, Daniel, Patrick, and Michael. >From sources such as Woulfe I understand that the Norman influence in Limerick may have added William and David to the mix while these names are less frequently seen in Kerry - West Kerry, at least. Not that the Norman influence was totally absent - Geoffrey and Maurice are not uncommon names.

Hello Kerry, Was very interested to read the post below. Further to that, would it be possible for you to check for HYNES family in your data? My GrGrandmother MARGARET HYNES arrived Sydney Jan 1855 on Ebba Brahe age 18, Nursemaid , from Whiskey Hall. Her parents Patrick and Honora were living at Whiskey Hall at the time. Resident in the colony was an Uncle Timothy Hynes at Campbelltown. She was a Monteagle immigrant. I have cancelled land records (1858-82) showing a PATRICK HYNES renting house and garden from John Blennerhassett at Kilmoylan. Also a in a Statement of the Townland of Finnoo (Whiskey Hall) in 1846. with Pat Hynes, Labourer Loghill and family of four. It would seem that Margaret had at least one other sibling. Perhaps there may be entries in school records. Thank you so much for your offers of help. Sincerely, Helen. > Hi Cris > > There is no Langan or Carrig's but that is not to say that there were no > families of such, as they may have attended another school like > Clonleharde > or Balligiltenane hedge school. > These records are not from a book Cris and are from a private collection > of > records I have from some twenty-five years, or more of working with > resources that myself and others have gathered around Glin, many of the > records I put together were available from the Glin Heritage Centre.

Kathy wrote <Helen, pardon the intrusion but saw your mention that "I believe there was a protestant marriage further back, hence the name 'William'" and am curious...is the name William a dead give away that someone was Protestant or something?> Kathy and Helen, I was named after my father, William Joseph. However, he did not want a junior, so my middle name is Patrick, having been born on March 17. I was raised Catholic. However, when I was 16, I worked a summer job for an off-the-boat Irishman that constantly teased me about being named after William of Orange. Needless to say, I did not take that too well. He claimed he was part of the IRA and would shoot the Protestants in an ambush and then sit down and have a pint or two to celebrate. I only lasted the summer with him. Bill Karr in Peoria, IL., USA

Over the next few days only, I will look up Bounty immigrants from Limerick to Australia 1828-1842 if anyone is interested these records quite often record the parents names and townland. Kerry
