Galligan/Cullen in parish of Kilmore
« on: Thursday 17 January 08 14:53 UTC (UK) »
Patrick Galligan and Mary Cullen and their (at least five) children emigrated from Cavan to Fitzroy township, Carleton Co., Ontario, Canada between 1843 and 1851.

Their eldest daughter Bridget, born Cavan 1835, died 9 June 1861 and is buried at St Michael's RC Cemetery at Corkery, in Carleton Co., Ontario, Canada.  Her headstone reads "a native of the parish of Kilmore Co. Cavan Ireland."

I'm trying to figure out just what was meant by "parish of Kilmore".  I know that there is now an RC diocese of Kilmore which covers parts of Cavan and which includes a parish of Kilmore.  But in the 19th century, there was also a civil parish of Kilmore.  Or perhaps there was only a civil parish of Kilmore (was there an RC parish of Kilmore in Cavan in the mid-19th c?).  This family would have belonged to an RC parish in Cavan, but...perhaps their (RC) parish was not Kilmore, but some other RC parish within the civil parish of Kilmore? 

Any suggestions or advice much appreciated.

Irish residences are usually listed under townland, (civil) parish, barony, county, province.
In Ireland the family would have used the townland name as their 'address' but once in Canada would have been more likely to have said they were from Cavan or just Ireland.
Have you tried looking at LDS catalogue to see if any local church records have been microfilmed?
