My Great Great Grandparents lived in Shanballyard and Clashavadra. Their name was (O')Grady/Gready. I don't know of any connection to the O'Donnells though.

Hello Mick,

Yes I see a John Grady at Clashavaddra. If I ever come across a connection I'll let you know.

Catherine and  Patrick Keating of Kilnaracy were my great grandparent on my mothers side

PatCro,

Thanks for your reply. I have done abit more research since posting my initial message. I do not think the the above Catherine O' Donnell is an ancestor of mine. It says on the marriage cert that her father was dead in 1889 which would be to early. What townland is your Catherine from?

[PatCro]

From her marriage certificate 11th May 1889 she was from Shanballard, Clonmel.
Her fathers name was Andrew and he was a farmer. He was noted on the marriage certificate as being dead at the time of the wedding. Based on her entry in the 1901 Irish census she was born in 1859.

Can you confirm who Catherine's siblings are? So as I can officially cross her off my list!

I'm not sure where Shanballard is, maybe its Shanballyard?

I have a good bit of info relating to O' Donnells from Maginstown and Graigue. You can contact me directly on (*) if you think I may be able to help you out!

I don't have any more information on Catherine's siblings but here is what I can get from the censuses. Shanballard I think is a misspelling of Shanballyard. Looking at Griffiths Valuation there was an entry for Andrew O'Donnell in 1850 in Shanballyard

see Griffiths Valuation Entry http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=doNameSearch&PlaceID=1180076&county=Tipperary,%20south%20riding&barony=Iffa%20&%20offa,%20east&parish=Inishlounaght&townland=%3Cb%3EShanballyard%3C/b%3E

In the 1901 and 1911 Censuses there is an Edmund O'Donnell living in Shanballyard aged 40 who would be the right age to be a sibling of Catherine. Also his first born boy is called Andrew which would imply his fathers name was Andrew

see 1901 Census entry http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_year=1901&surname=o%27donnell&firstname=&county=Tipperary&townland=Shanballyard&ded=Ballyclerahan&age=&sex=&search=Search&relationToHead=&religion=&education=&occupation=&marriageStatus=&birthplace=&language=&deafdumb=&marriageYears=&childrenBorn=&childrenLiving=

and

1911 Census entry http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_year=1911&surname=o%27donnell&firstname=&county=Tipperary&townland=Shanballyard&ded=Ballyclerahan&age=&sex=&search=Search&relationToHead=&religion=&education=&occupation=&marriageStatus=&birthplace=&language=&deafdumb=&marriageYears=&childrenBorn=&childrenLiving=

In 1826 tithes there is a William Donnell in Shanballyard
