Tipperary / Re: McCarthys Rathronan, Clonmel 1890-1911

They have passed legislation for this release and i have read that they are hoping it would be ready for a full scale release for the 100th anniversary "celebrations". This is of course unless the irish government decides there's not enough money for it and decide to drop it - don't think this will happen though.

hi ancilla, unfortunately they don't mean anything to me. i have stalled on this and am waiting for the next census release (2016) to see where my Michael McCarthy was born (now more likely Cork instead of Tipp). Sorry!

Cork / Re: Ballyhooly area - Shanahans & McCarthys

Nora was born in 1897 in Castletownroche under name of Shanahan. She is in Ballyhooly in 1901 and 1911 census under the name of Dwan. I have the birth certificate (although only from the Cork genealogy website). It is rumoured that she was born from a relationship between Julia Shanahan and a farm worker called Dwan. Her mother Ellen Shanahan named herself as mother on the birth certificate to stop any rumours, although she called her a Dwan afterwards.

The McCarthy situation is less clear cut, cannot proceed until i have confirmed what county Patrick was born in (1926 census should tell me this), as i cannot confirm which Patrick is the real one in both 1901 and 1911 census. His full name is Patrick Joseph - i have found some but they cover Waterford (x1), Tipperary (x1), Limerick (x1) and Cork (x1) for births in 1893 ish. So without this i cannot trace much further back.

His wedding certificate to Nora states his father as Michael but the only Patrick Joseph McCarthy born in1893 in Cork had a father called John - don't know if this is the same (they used to swap middle and first names a lot to suit in those days i believe). 

Confused now??!

thanks a million for the quick reply!

Seen the two Patricks in 1901 and 1911 census and they are too old - just wandering if he was living elsewhere and moved there after 1911 - must be the case. The 1894 birth - is the father Michael?

I meant grandaughter (!).

Thanks again for your help.

Cork / Ballyhooly area - Shanahans & McCarthys
« on: Friday 20 April 12 12:59 BST (UK)  »
Looking for leads on the following:

Patrick McCarthy - born c.1893 in above area
Michael McCarthy - Patricks father

Both were in Gortroache, Ballyhooly early 1920's - Patrick married Nora Shanahan of Castletownroche (i think), she was born c.1897 and was in Ballyhooly in 1911 with the mother Ellen Shanahan (Nora was under the name of Dwane though).

Any help with the Shanahans/Dwanes from late 1800's in Castletownroche would be appreciated as well.

Waterford / Re: Any DWANES OR DUANES out there?
« on: Saturday 18 April 09 10:38 BST (UK)  »
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?
