Hi me again, now no luck I'm afraid on your farm, I have been all around the area of Kilcoo and Kilcrow talking to the older people there and no one can remember the name Bush or Bushy park farm or any Callaghans in their living memory, thats not to say of course that they were not there just no one remembers back that far.
However, anyother small glimmer of hope, I have been told of a 98 year old man named Patrick Barry in the Ballyadams area (right next door to Kilcrow) and apparently he is as sharp as a tack and full of the local history as he has been in the area all of his years so over the weekend I intend to track him down and see if he remembers anything for you. I called up to the graveyard at Churchtown which was the local one for the Kilcrow area most of the older gravestones are unreadable, but of the ones I could read, no Callaghans were jumping out at me , there is also however, a very old school there which only closed to make way for a new one in 2008, it was establised in 1856 and the records for it will be at the National Archives in Dublin, maybe a worthwhile search while you are here for your Callaghans as this would have been the closest school for them.
I have photos of the school and cemetry if you would like them just in case you can connect it so if you PM me a personal email I will send them to you, in the meantime fingers crossed this Mr Barry will remember something, and otherwise if theres anything else I can do for you let me know, regards Bernadette
Hi Celtic Damsel, I had an email from the parish office at Monasterevin...... sadly no Callaghan's.They told me to try St Brigid's R. C. Church, Curragh. So that will be my next port of call. If you know anything about St Brigid's church, I would be very grateful. Take care with your to and throwing. Best wishes. Beavis

Hi Dantracer have you checked the burial records for St Michaels Cemetry in Athy for your rellie ? the cemetry at Nicholastown only goes back to around 1930's according to the key holder and the church in Kilkea is protestant ? Damsel
Hello: can you locate an old (19th century) cemetery in the Dollardstown-Nicholastown area about 2 miles southeast of Athy? Somewhere along the road between Athy and Kilkea/Casteldermont. A Catholic chapel was located near the cemetery in the mid 1800's. We are interested if a Mary Ann Grace is buried there. She was born 1844 and would have been under 18 years of age when she died. The rest of her family (parents and 6 brothers) emigrated to the US in 1860-1862. Thansk you for any help you can provide. I am writing a history of our Grace ancestors.

Hi Again Dantracer, I have been to Nicholastown Cemetry (thanks Blackbird for that) as well as speaking to the key holder and it does certainly look as though burials only started there in the 30's or thereabouts. I am told by the Vicars wife at Kilkea that it is possible Catholic burials took place in Castledermot from there at the time and also St Micheals old cemetry here in Athy if you have not tried that one already, sorry couldnt be of more help to you in my area.
You could try dropping a line or an email to Mario Corrigan, at Newbridge Library, he is very helpful and may be able to tell you about that cemetry , if perhaps it was dug over in the 30's getting rid of all the old graves, and if there was a church in the area of Nicholastown also, I can provide a further service in other areas including research at newbridge in Dublin etc but I would have to charge expenses at that point, and as you know there is still no guarantee's I would find exactly what you want so if I can be of any more help locally contact me again, for now, regards Damsel

HI beavis, I spoke to Patrick Barry this evening I finally managed to track his house down up a boreen !! (I'm still getting used to life in the country after almost four years me high heels are ruined giggles) anyhows not good news I'm afraid he's 96 and says he never heard of Bush/Bushy Pk Farm and does not even remember any Callaghans in the area, so it's likely they were gone before he was born. I have been told theres a Bush Field Farm in the area but it is not close to Nurney or Kilcrow so unlikely to be the correct one so I have come to a dead end I'm afraid, next time your here you could check land records at the National Archives in Bishop St in Dublin, the genealogist on duty would point you in the right direction and hopefully you will get an idea of where it was, I will show you the Kilcrow area when ou are here if you would like and if theres anything else I can help with in the area let me know, for now regards Damsel
Hi Beavis, Scuttling? moi ? no dont do scutteling ! now whizzing around perhaps as I spend a lot of my life doing just that it seems !
Kilboggan is in the parish of Nurney and therefore the records you seek are likely from the Church in Nurney, I am assuming your ancestors were ROI at this point ?, the relevant records are held in Monasterevin and if you write to them with the details you want they will do a search for you, the address is The Parish Office, Drogheda St, Monasterevin, Co Kildare the Church in Nurney is called The Church of the Sacred Heart Nurney Co. Kildare phone 045-526737 I have left a message on their answer machine for someone to get back to me as it may be possible for you to view the records there as well, I will let you know when I hear back from them, hope this helps, regards Damsel

Thanks for that, that makes 2 Bush Fields then JTA but Suncroft is a long way off Kilcrow where Beavis says the certs say the farm was so still a mystery for now, regards Damsel

Hi Damsel,
I have posted some requests on the Kildre site for the Suncroft/Ballyshannon area looking for the names Talbot, Savage, and Collins. I wonder if you had a look at them and if you could help with any info?

Hi Rory I have helped you before read below I never heard back as far as I remember but I did give you some other places to search here  ? regards Damsel
Hi RorY T , well your trip took me to what must be one of the prettiest spots in Kildare ! I was told the Church at a little village called Narragmore was the place to find out about burials for your ancestors based on where they lived, I had emailed the Reverend but hadn't received a reply so I rang the number on the Church Gates (which were closed when I arrived) and spoke to him, he said he was on holiday and would check the records for me but suggested I opened the gates and drive up as the cemetery is around the church. I had to climb over a wall in my skirt so I hope no one was looking apart from the Cows as I must have been quite a sight !!  It is a spectacular view from the Church as it is at the top of a very long driveway and up a hill, the view is down the valley and over to the Wicklow mountains in the distance quite breathtaking !! I checked all of the readable Gravestones for your Talbots ( bearing in mind any other spelling thereof also ) but they are not mentioned there on any of the stones. However as always there are also a lot of totally unreadable stones so now we wait to see what the Reverend Delamere comes up with !! If there's anything I will let you know and go back and get a photo of the actual grave if you want, in the meantime I have some shots of the Church, Cemetery and environs if you would like to get a feel for where they lived send me a mail addy on a personal message and I will forward them to you in the meantime keep the fingers crossed , I also think you could contact the COI Library atlibrary@ireland.anglican.org as you have the address and years of Death so they will be able to tell you exactly where they are buried, if not at this cemetery, let me know if you get anything that way...Regards Damsel |

Hi Damsel,
Yes I remember you relpying previously. I did chase up the church records and got a little info, but I managed to source back through other means. I never got a reply from the Rev (still on hols!!!!).
I am now trying to establish where the sons and daughters of my ancestors (my gggrandads brothers and sisters) went. I found my gggrandads grave outside Old Kilcullen a couple of weeks ago and thus my posting to you. I appreciate that you helped me previously and that you have many replies on this posting, I just thought you might come across something that might be relevant to me in your travles.
Thanks again.
Rory

I found a Robert Escham Turbett (Turbett was the name given to my GGGrandad Adam in Griffiths) 0n thhe IGI Pilot site married in Athy in 1858. Adam (1799 - 1881) had a son called Robert (b. 1824) and hemoved to Athy with him in 1851, I think this might be the same Robert. The fact that his marraige was registered in 1854 shows that he was not RC ,which supports my premise that he is mine" as they were all presbyterians. I have some notes which refer to Robert having a daughter - Margaret (I never noted the source it was a good while ago) - but I can't find any reference to her in the Birth Registration, I was hoping you might have some leads on her.
Many thanks
Rory
