MCCARTHY; COR,IRL; 1830-1910 Looking for information on family of Mary Rogers McCarthy, resident of Glantane (outside of Mallow), Co. Cork, and Peter Foley (Church of Ireland minister born in Kerry) who married in Kilshannig Church in the District of Mallow, Diocese of Cloyne (Church of Ireland) Co. Cork, 2 April 1853. I have the parish record of the marriage. Mary had a father named William McCarthy, a schoolmaster, who may have witnessed the marriage, and it was also witnessed by a John McCarthy. Mary was born in Co. Cork about 1831 and died 9 October 1897 in Ballycastle, Co. Mayo, where she is buried in St. John's (C of I) churchyard with her husband. However, older family members remembered that she taught school with her one or two sisters before marriage in, they said, Kinsale. We believe it might have been Kilshannig. One sister named Eleanor continued to teach school in Co. Cork and lived until around 1910. Other Kilshannig records name people such as William Rogers McCarthy, Eleanor McCarthy, Rachel McCarthy, and Rebecca Winspeare McCarthy, whom I believe to be related to my family. The Foley couple named their children William Malcolm (Malachi), Alfred Peter, Eleanor Agnes, Arthur Winspeare, Mary Gibson, Thomas Winspeare, and Anna Elizabeth, most of whom died in infancy. Please reply about McCarthys in Co. Cork only--that's a big enough group! Elizabeth Winspeare Knowlton KnowltonEW@compuserve.com
