Carol. my g-g-g-grandmother, Mary Finn, came from Fuerty. She was born about 1770. I have not been able to trace her because I do not beleive the church records go back that far. She married an Edward Carty from nearby Dunamon. who was about 60 years of age when they married. He was born about 1730 and died in 1840 (110 years). A son, John Carty, married and lived in Ballydooley, which is close-by .. He had a sister, Bridget Carty, whom I have not been able to find. Edward's son, Patrick Carty joined the RIC and moved about, but finally settled in Kilkishen, Co. Clare, his last police asssignment, and then became Postmaster there. Look in the present tel. directories to see whether there are any BOYDs or CORRIGANs still living in the parish. Perhaps you might write to them before you go and pave the way for a visit. I have yet to do that, and indeed just thought of it. Your husband's ancestors and mine were living there at the same time. I would appreciate your inquiring about the CARTYs and FINNs and PLUNKETTs while you are there. Also, when you get to Fuerty, stop in the pubs. You'll find the old-timers there who might be able to give you some information, We might be able to help each other. I'll forward to you any part of my research and anything else that I might think of to help you. Please let me know if you get any response or assistance from this query of yours.Anita Carroll.
