This name is very seldom found outside counties Cork and Waterford. It has been associated with Co. Cork (particularly the Skibbereen area) since the mid 18th century. The first I have met is a Cork marriage license bond of 1735. The tradition that it is derived from the two words ship, sea, spoken by a shipwrecked sailor is too far fetched for serious consideration. I think it is merely a variant of the English surname Shipside (ship-sheep, side- side of a hill) Have you checked the Griffith Valuation and the Tithe Applotment Records? Good luck on your search.

JAFFRAY, William; IRL; 1790-1840 I'm trying to trace more about the family of the above William Jaffray,All of the family according to the 1841 Census were born in Ireland,but where I do not know.The family are as follows: William Jaffray b.1790 Barbra " b.1823 Janet " b.1825 Johnia(?) " b.1832 William was noted as a widower,they are living in 1841 in Dunfermline,Fife,Scotland.Janet was married under the name of Jeffray so perhaps this is the correct spelling of the surname.The youngest child appears to be named Johnia but the writing is very unclear any assistance as to what Irish name this might be would be gratefully received.If anyone can help with this family or give me some idea on how I can find out more I also would appreciate it.

DONOHUE / O'DONOGHUE; IRL / WI,USA; 1850- I am starting my family history research again. I am somewhat complete from 1862 to the present on my direct line of the Donohue family. I still cannot find the link to the O'Donoghue's of Ireland. Florence O'Donoghue left Ireland in the early 1850's. He had just buried his wife Ellen O'Connor. He came to America with his sons Florence, Peter and Timothy. His daughter Hannah went on to Australia. His son John stayed in Ireland and went to sea. John apparently did well, came back and settled in Cork, marrying another Donoghue. My first track of the Donoghue's in America is in Hudson Wisconsin, 1862, birth of my grandfather William Florence Donohue. Peter and Timothy are buried in New Richmond Wisconsin. Florence Jr purportedly died in the U.S. Civil War. Florence O'Donoghue signed a deed with his "X" in 1880, deeding land to my grandfather, then 18 years. I believe the sale of this land financed my grandfather in Law School at the University of Minnesota. He graduated in 1896, started practice in Melrose Minnesota, practiced there and in St Cloud Minnesota until his death in 1932. I cannot find record of the death of Florence O'Donoghue. From the Census in 1880, I found he lived with son Peter, on a farm in Stanton Township, near New Richmond, Wisconsin, shown as being of the age of 90; he must have been born in 1790. I cannot find any record of his life in Ireland. Family stories have it they were from Cork, they were of the Clan O'Donoghue of Glen Flesk. I believe the clan land (Glen Flesk) is in both Kerry, at Kilaha, and in West Cork. Timothy died, 1904, leaving a mystery. According to family history he and his wife Kate Mackin were childless. In the obituary in the New Richmond newspaper it is noted his body was returned for burial from his death in Michigan by Edward Donohue, Mrs George Sperry & her daughter Zulu of Decatur Michigan. In checking there, an obituary on Timothy appears noting Timothy had spent the winter with daughter Mrs Geo Sperry and went to live with his son Edw when he died. Edw was informant for the death certificate which notes he had two children. Were they natural? Adopted? Or what was the relationship? I have ruled out hanky panky, these folks were just too straight. Family stories are Kate and Tim were childless. Kate died but two years before Tim. Tim was a naturally gifted mathemetician and did a good deal of surveying. He refused pay for any mental work believing God charged man to earn his keep by his labour with his hands. Timothy's brother Peter, my great gandfather, died in 1907. Peter, born in Ireland in 1831, and his wife Johanna Coughlin, had the following children: Mary, born 1859, married a John Fitzimmons and settled in Rockford, Illinois. Annie, born in 1861, a long time teacher in Minneapolis MN, active in formation of PERA. Hannah, born in 1865, married Dennis James Burke, died in Amery Wisconsin. Katherine Donohue, born in 1867, married a Grinnella, may have lived in Anoka MN, in 1932, also may have lived in Dakotas. Sara Donohue, born in 1872, a single school teacher who died in Portland, Oregon. Margaret, born 1876, married John Cunningham, he farmed, she taught school, in New Richmond WI area. Frederick, born 1877, disappeared from the Pacific Coast, believed to have been "im-pressed" as a seamen, (once called"Shanghaied"). George Donohue was born in 1873, disappeared for many years, discovered by my grandmother then the circulation editor of a Seattle newspaper, previous to which he had been a fur trader in the Yukon. (Who knows?). Arthur Donohue was born in 1880, died in Portland Oregon, worked with the Department of the Interior. I have been unable to trace these siblings adequately. If anyone reads this having knowledge of any of the descendents, I would appreciate contact. I would also invite contract and trade of information on the O'Donoghue line in Ireland. mike4u@boreal.org
