Well, I'll start!! I am researching my Gough line that actually lived in Clonmel Tipperary, but after fruitless searching at the Tipperary Heritage Centres I have found out the records for Clonmel are in Waterford..... because Clonmel is in the diocese of St. Mary's Waterford. Luckily I still have family in the area who have been going to the Waterford Heritage Centre to search the books and records themselves, however the Waterford Heritage Centre does do searching for people, and I am told they are very quick about it. Father Michael is in charge there now, and I have corresponded with him. Several years ago there were problems with many of the Centres taking a long time, but now that is not the case with Waterford. You can check out their page at http://ireland.iol.ie/~mnoc/ On the 1901 census we found: John Gough age 65 farmer Bridget Gough age 60 wife John Gough age 34 (son) coachman Catherine McDonald age 32 (visiting) Eileen McDonald age 2 (visiting) interesting that the census taker happened to catch their daughter Catherine there visiting from her home in Ardfinnan! Their other daughter Mary Ellen Gough had left in 1885 to go to Brooklyn, where she married John Henry McCarthy (they later moved to Bridgeport CT). Mary Ellen Gough is my great grandmother. Anyone else searching in Clonmel area? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maura Petzolt Mobile, Alabama USA mpetzolt2@webtv.net =============================== visit the IrelandGenWeb home page at http://www.worldgenweb.org/ireland/index.html
