Treacy Family from Two-Mile Borris/ Littleton, Tipperary areas.

[jjtjr]

I have traced my Family Roots back to my Great-Great-Grandfather Patrick Treacy (c. 1794-1878). His family lived for a time in Carhoon, Tynagh, Galway and he then moved to a farm nearby in Derrew, Kilquain, Galway. Patrick's brother Nicholas Treacy (c. 1797-1886) continued to live at Carhoon, Tynagh.

Family History says that before moving to Galway that my Treacy Family came from the Two-Mile Borris/ Littleton, Tipperary areas. This is possibly where my Gr-Gr-Grandfather or his brother Nicholas was born.

I am looking for anyone who has any knowledge of Treacy's from the Two-Mile Borris/ Littleton, Tipperary areas.

Thanks,

Jim Treacy

Hi Jim,
The Treacy name is part of my family, different area of Tipperary.
Littlelton is near Moycarkey and I have a birth record for there, it's just up the road from Littleton.
I have picked up the dates for the deaths and have the Church records for you.
Are you oversaeas?

I found the following Treacy’s from the area  in the Tithe Applotments:

Michael Treacy, Ballydavid, Twomileborris, Tipperary
Martin Tracy, Burris, Twomileborris, Tipperary
Patrick Tracy Grague, Moycarky, Tipperary 1829
Thomas Tracy, Forgestown, Moycarky, Tipperay, 1829

The bottom two are also listed as 1831 Tithe Defaulters

Patrick Tracy, Farmer, Grague, Moycarkey, Co. Tipperary.
Thomas Tracy, Farmer, Fugertown, Moycarkey, Co. Tipperary.

Does anyone know where Grague or Forgestown/Fugertown are located?

On the Traceys of Tipperary website, I found this:

Protestants of Moycarkey – Borris (Who signed a memorial to the House of Commons in favour of Catholic Emancipation)

Roger Treacy, Littleton
Wm. Treacy, Littleton

My family is Roman Catholic, but who knows if some of them were not in the past?

I tried RootsIreland.ie, I found a Baptism for a Michael Treacy from Moycarkey on 09Oct1802. His parents were John Treacy & Margaret Keogh.

I also found a Church Baptism for a Mary Treacy also from Moycarkey on 27Nov1804. Her parents were James Treacy & Catherine Burke.

 In addition I found a Church Baptism for a James Treacy from Moycarkey on25Jul1807. His parents were John Treacy & Nancy Burke.

I also found a Church Marriage for a Michael Treacy & Nancy Ryan in Moycarkey on 12 Apr1841 and another Church Marriage for a Mary Treacy from Borris to a Patrick Brein in Moycarkey on 08Feb1810.

If my Treacy Family came from that area these people could be relatives. They match the area and general time frame that I believe my Family might have lived there.

None of this is proof. I am hoping to come across someone who had Treacy relatives from that area in the early 1800's or so.

I actually was able to get in touch by phone with 2 different Treacy Families living in the area. Neither family knew anything about their old relatives from the early 1800's. It was worth trying, but was not successful.

Hopefully I will come in contact with someone who knows something about these Treacy Families from the early 1800’s.
