Died at Cloughjorden ,Co Tipperary

[tempogold]

Hello
I have just discovered that my 3xgreat grandmother died 8 January 1885 at Cloughjorden in Co Tipperary but which grandma? . As my 2x great Grandmother Catherine Rochford was born Ireland 1820 I an guessing its a Rochford-and her mother-sorry do not have a first name--or any more information.We know nothing about the Rochford line.This would make her mother about 84/6.
 The alternative granny would be Latham, but as she had her first Child Thomas Latham in Co Cork in 1807 and the family lived in the Skull and Dunmanway area ---I think it unlikely.

Not sure how to start this search and would appreciate any advice.

Many Thanks

Urlingford district is a bit to the south east of the district for Cloughjordan, which is Borrisokane - but it's the closest I could find...

The Registrar in Nenagh should be able to give you the names of everyone who died in Cloughjordan on the day in question.

There is a Rochford family living in Mullinahone, Co. Tipperary. That would be in the Urlingford area, but Urlingford is in Kilkenny and registration is done by County. That said parts of co. Waterford were registered in Clonmel until 25 years ago

thanks for the message.  I think you may be on to something. I have a photo of my 2x G Grandmother Catherine born 1820 taken as ayoung women in Kilkenny--which didn't mean anything to me--sorry have not got my head around the locations in Ireland. This was only found last month but as we have  A photo of her taken in 1896 in England--we knew it was the same person.
Could you tell me how I find the information on the Rochford family in Mullinahone please.

Until the entry in the birthday book found last month that suggests that it is the mother ( born late 1700s) of Catherine Rochford b 1820 who died--- we had no idea were in ireland ny Rochford side of the family may have come from --or any thing at all about them.

Not sure how to go forward with this but a very big thank you --we have something to start with.

Mullinahone is in South Tipperary so the Registrar is at the County Clinic, Western Road, Clonmel. But for anything earlier than 1864 you'll have to consult the Parish Records.

Just by way of an update.The Register at Nenagh was very helpful but could not find anything. Given I have a photo of Catherine Rochford born 1820 taken in a studio in Kilkenny --looking at Parish records would seem the way ahead but that is not practical from here. Can anyone tell me more about the Rochford family in Mullinhone

Many thanks for all the leads.
