Hello List - I am helping a good friend who is visually impaired put together some genealogy of her GRIMES and LEAHY ancestors c 1870 on. My friend insists that the families were from Thurles; however, the marriage record I just found states Parish/District Moyne, Address: Lisheen and it took place in the RC Church of Monynetemple. The ship records I found on ancestry.com say the person was from Templemore. A mapquest search shows Templemore to be about 15 km from Thurles. Your opinion please - would it be usual for people from Lisheen or Templemore to say they were from Thurles? Is anyone researching GRIMES or LEAHY families from that area? Can anyone suggest a particular non-paying website that would have good resources for that area? Have the RC church records been filmed by LDS? Thanks for any and all information!

Hi . For what it is worth some people were married by the priest who baptised them even though he had been transferred ,.
