In response to the posting about the Historical Society, can any of their membership help me in tracing members of my wife's family from the County. Her maiden name was Woods, and their branch of the family left Ireland in the 1880s or later, settling around Birkenhead. A common name in the male line was Dennis.
As I have researched other surnames, Woods doesn't appear to crop up so frequently. My wife's father is Dennis Joseph Woods, and his father was also called Dennis and was formerly Fire Chief for Cumbria.
Any help in getting started would be gratefully received.
Best wishes
Hector S. MacDonald

Hello Hector,
It would appear that the Tipperary Family History Society is not terribly interested in Genealogy. You posted your message in 2004 and it is now almost March 2006. You would think that a County with a Historical Society could do better tham this. Good Morning Tipperary (Reminiscent of Good Morning Vietnam). Is anyone at home?
Denis Woods lived in Tooreen in the Parish of Donohill, Co. Tipperary in 1850-1 when Griffiths Valuation of the County was taking place. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php
I took the liberty of substituting the cached version
All the Best, Christopher

I agree, the co.Tipp site you quote is really useful , I've found lots of good stuff on there.
Just wondered, did you contact them with a specific query, and if so, who did you get a reply from/
Many thanks
Mags

I asked the Tipperary North FHC If they could help me with any Info re: BDM's for some of My Ancestors!
They replied pretty quickly, with some snippets & a request for £150 (If I wanted them to do a Full Search)! 
Jan.
I will try the site You posted! (they sound like Nice People!)

my maternal family are from Clogheen (Ardfinnan). Names are Maloney, Mason and Maher. my granny was Ellen Maher, born 1869 and my mother was Margaret Maher, born 1904 (died Manchester U.K. 1988). They lived in Councillor Lane (Pound Lane). Any local knowledge would be appreciated. I visited Clogheen last year and found Tipperary terrific!! Cathaldus

Looks like you are related to my husband, who is grandson of James Joseph Maher, older brother of your Mother Margaret. I have corresponded with Mike who I think must be your brother. I'm assuming he has passed information about James' descendants to you & also those of Thomas, the younger brother. If not please respond & we can pool our information. We are going to Clogheen in October, won't have time for research, but just to have a look round as we haven't been to Ireland before.
Regards
Sue

Dear Sue,
I've sent an email over to my brother Michael re. your posting. I know there were two elder brothers (James and George) and the two younger ones Christopher and Thomas. Thank you so much for making contact. You will love Clogheen and Tipperary, it's simply like "going home"

Bill and all-
It looks like we have a Maher search going on here. I'm looking to get farther back than Martin Maher, b, bfr. 1816, Thurles, Tipperary, probably Ballycurrane. He married Anne Fogarty.
This is my "wall" and it's 0200 where I am, so....
Thanks.
