Any DWANES OR DUANES out there?
« on: Sunday 27 January 08 15:18 GMT (UK) »
My GGreat Grandfather as Deglan or Dagrin Dwane. He was born abt 1848. On his Army attestation papers his place of birth was in the Townland of Templemichael, Cork then this was crossed out and Waterford put instead. I have traced this area to the town of Youghal. I have not had any luck tracing Dwanes in this area of Ireland - Please can anyone who has Dwanes or Duanes in their tree or who can help me look for my Dwanes let me know.

Many Thanks Vicky.

Thanks Christopher

You would think that with so few Dwanes I would find them easily - but no. I asked an Irish website (cant remember the name offhand) to look up the parish registers for the Temple Michael but they had no records of Dwanes. The only other lead I have is from Deglan (could be dagrin or Declan)'s marriage certificate where is father is stated as Thomas.

There is a new site from the Irish Foundation which is putting parish registers on the web so I am hoping this may help me trace the family when it is fully online.

Thanks Vicky.

Vicky, very interested in your post as my grandparents came into Youghal with Patrick and Mary Dwane!  If you PM me, I can show you a copy of the 1943-44 Youghal Electors List where it states they were living on Strand Street (Mall) in Youghal at the time.  I go across to Youghal occasionally (less recently due to new arrivals in my family!) and have spoken to lots of people there who remember both my family and the Dwanes.  I believe that there are still descendants of the Dwanes there.  My interest is that I cannot find out where my grandparents were born/came from so your lead about Templemichael may help me.

BEAMOBHOY very interested in your post as my father came from Youghal and his mother and father was Patrick and Mary Dwane.He was one of sixteen and was brought up by the nuns in Youghal . He joined the Royal Navy when he was old enough
so he lost all contact with his family.Sadly he died last year. I think one of his sisters was called maureen. My fathers name was Michale Dwane born 27 12 1922.
hope any one out there can help me trace any of my relation as I have so little to go on

Hi Mary, I will email a copy of the Youghal 1943/44 Electors list if you PM me (you can only PM once you have posted at least 3 messages on here - do what I did and just send another two messages with nothing on them!).  My family - the McCarthys came into Youghal with the Dwanes (so I have been advised) in the 20's.  My grandparents came from the Fermoy area so might be worth a trace around Fermoy, Mallow, Ballyhooly, Doneraile areas (these areas are where I have traced my family).  I have visited the small house where the two families lived - a real 2 up, 2 down place!  It's on Water Lane in Youghal (don't know if you have ever visited Youghal but it's a small road just up from the Town Hall and Visitor Centre.  My mother attended the school there run by the nuns and had mixed emotions about it! Hope some of this helps you with your search.

To help you out in Fermoy/Mallow etc area, use the following website as a basis:-

http://corknortheast.brsgenealogy.com/

It does not cost to search but does cost to view the records.  I found it really helpful.  Smiley

hi Beamobhoy
Thanks for your post about Mary and Patrick Dwane.I think they are the ones that I am looking for .Do you know the date that they moved to Youghal as my father said there was sixteen children in his family.I don't think they would all fit in such a small house that you described.They might have moved there before they had all the children.

                                                    Thanks Mary
ps this will be my third posting

The small house I mentioned was occupied by the two families in 1943/44 - I am guessing that some of the children might of "flit the nest".  Seems likely that we are talking of the same Dwanes. I made contact with several people in Youghal over the past 5 years or so and some of them do mention the two families coming to Youghal and living together.  I am not sure under what conditions as my mum and her sister always talked about cramped tiny houses and living conditions being far from cosy! Now you have posted 3 times, personal message me your email address and I shall email what I have.  Have you tried the North Cork website I suggested - or have you got dates, locations etc of the sixteen children?
