My Grandfather Richard Watts was born in Fermoy in 1870 I was lucky and found his registration and one of his brothers in Dublin and the records office.  I also have his parents George Watts and Ellen Colemans marriage certificate for 1860 at the parish Church of Fermoy.

What I have not found is their births.   George Watts was a soldier with the 89th reg  and was the son of Joseph.  Ellen was the daughter of John Coleman.   I wondered if George could have been born in England and posted to Fermoy which is a Garrison town or if he was born in Ireland.

I always thought they were Anglican because they were married in the Parish Church but on my Grandfather Richard Watts Boer War records he stated he was a RC.

So the brick wall carries on.  Sad

G Grannie was born over here but i have a feeling that she was born Ire if any one has anything or any suggestions I'd gladly listen

I do not know of their religion or from where in those counties they originate,  so I guess I've come to a dead end.  Cry

At least I have ancestors from other countries......phew!!

Local legend has it that Noah's ark came to rest on the mountain range called Slieve Beagh.  Bith, apparently the son of Noah, was buried on Carnmore (translates to big burial mound).

Biths daughter Cessair, was the leader of the first inhabitants of Ireland.  So if everyone died in the flood and the ark landed in Ireland that makes everyone alive today in the world descendant from Ireland  Grin

Therefore, everyone has Irish roots at any time frame!

Wheres my salt shaker!?!?

no county.  Agricultural Labourer, so that might give a clue, or not.
