Cork / Re: Bridget McCarthy baptism search
« on: Wednesday 02 March 16 02:34 GMT (UK)  »
Passage West was the temporary residence of many people, a kind of suburb of Cork City, and a temporary stop for many seamen, fishermen, boat-builders, etc.  So Bridget Ellen need not have been an only child.  Passage West people often turn up otherwise in Cove/Cobh (Queenstown) records, for example.

Cork / Re: Jane Hosford born Co Cork 1825
« on: Monday 23 February 15 18:03 GMT (UK)  »
I have a James Hosford and a Jane Hosford in my database of five Catholic parishes south of Cork City, both apparently converting to Catholicism, but not necessarily your James or your Jane.  Other Hosfords were mixed CofI/RC, some related to my Maddens.  It would be easiest for me just to e-mail you all the Hosfords in my database as an Excel worksheet.  To do that, you have to send me what RootsChat calls a 'personal message' with your e-mail address.  I cannot remember how to do it.  Perhaps you can figure it out.

Cork / Re: Patrick Punch born ?1845
« on: Monday 10 November 14 02:53 GMT (UK)  »
I have Patrick Punch's baptism (12 Apr 1841) in my database of five parishes south of Cork City.  His parents, Matthew Punch & Mary Green(a)way lived in Barnahely parish at the time.  Godparents are John Riordan and Eliza Greenway.  I do not have Thomas's baptism, but I do have those of two other children of John Green(a)way Punch and Mary Hinchey, Clara and Edwin.  If you have Excel, I can put them into an Excel sheet and e-mail it to you.  But I think you have to send me a 'PM' for us to send each other our e-mail addresses.  Have you corresponded with Garrett Presage and or a Carmody lady about Punches in Australia?  Frank Thompson/NYC

The name Glavin in County Cork was sometimes a kind of nickname (agnomen) for Donoghue so you might try looking for Donoghues.

Cork / Re: Haynes, Haines, Hynes sometimes Hayes?

I have marriage of Thomas Haynes and Mary Buckley and baptism of seven children in my database.  I do not see that Thomas, of Ballinvarrig, Tracton, was son of Thomas Haynes and Ellen Barrett, of Ballygarvan.  Perhaps you have evidence.  I have some notes:  Mary Buckley Haynes, died in Cambridge, MA, in 1904, and was bapt. at Tracton, 24 Feb 1822, dau. of James Buckley and Catherine Scannell.  Eliza Haynes, dau. of Thos. and Mary, married Francis T. Carroll and died in Boston in 1895.

Cork / Re: Mellifont of Cork
« on: Wednesday 06 November 13 20:18 GMT (UK)  »
My grgrgrgrandfather's brother, Daniel Madden, married Mary Mellefont of Ballea (Douglas-Ballygarvan R.C. parish) in 1818.  Mary was probably the sister of Michael Mellefont, of Ballea, who married Mary Dinneen.  Most of the Maddens, and some of the Mellefonts, emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts.  The Maddens and Mellefonts had also been tenants at Coolmore, Carrigaline, with the same landlords as at Ballea.  There was clearly a sprinkling of Catholic Mellefonts, tenant farmers, in the area just to the south of Cork City, very likely descendants of the Mellefonts of Kinsale and Mellifontstown.  A (Protestant) Mellefont is buried in Tracton churchyard, but I could not find other Mellefont graves in the area.  So many inscriptions are illegible, however, that that does not mean they are not there.  You can send me a 'Personal Message', but it is very complicated, and I cannot tell you how to do it.

If your descendants are a mystery, it's no wonder you are having trouble with your ancestors.

Cork / Re: Henry McGowan c.1841 Cork
« on: Monday 02 September 13 05:57 BST (UK)  »
Many McGowans in Ireland, including Cork, went by the name of Smith.  Some officials and clergymen automatically wrote Smith when they heard McGowan.  The same person could appear in records over his or her lifetime as McGowan one time, and Smith the next.

I thought I replied to your Personal Message, but I now don't see it.  The PM system is very user-unfriendly. You ought to have sent me your e-mail address.  FT
