Regan Family - County Cork

[samanthac]

Hello, I am trying to locate where my family come from in Cork but am having difficulty depicting the words on the image, any ideas?

Ignoring the squiggle on the last letter it might be Castlehaven which is a civil / RC parish in south-west Cork.

Castle Haven looks like a good match - the squiggle could easily be part of the 'y' from Kilkenny on the details above.

Records are included on IrishGenealogy as the parish of 'Castlehaven and Myross'

based on the parents names for Johanna on her marriage record (John Regan and Johanna Finn - see previous topic at : Tobin - County Kilkenny - any info ), found a possible sibling to Johanna in Castlehaven parish :

  Baptism of Michl. Regan -July 1845 
  Parents : John Regan & Johanna Finn
  Castlehaven & Myross RC Parish, Co. Cork

I am in love with this site, thank you sooooooo much Shane and Sonas

Hi again, This may or may not be relevant but if you are tracking the Regans further... There is also a townland called Castlehaven in the parish of the same name.

My Regan Family came from Fermoy-County Cork.  Johanna/Annie Regan born - around 1827 and Mary Ann Regan - birth date - unknown

My g-grandmother was a Hannah O'Regan, born 1859, apparently in Ballycotton. Her father was Timothy Regan. Dates of birth and death for Timothy unknown, but he was deceased at the time of Hannah's marriage in 1878. I have found on the IFHF webpage a Johanna Regan, born 1859 to a Timothy Regan and Margaret Toomey in Mallow Parish, and a Mary Regan, same parents, born in 1860 in Bearforest, Mallow Parish. Is Ballycotton in Mallow Parish? There is still the possibility that my g-grandmother may have been living at Ballycotton at the time of her marriage, but may have been born elsewhere.
