Tipperary / Re: Nenagh Electoral roll c. 1942?
« on: Tuesday 23 December 08 22:10 GMT (UK) »
Hello again Jack,
I was wondering if you could do me another favour.
Would there be any Margaret (Mary) Costello(e)s living in Nenagh in the early 40s? Quite possibly living with or near a Kathleen Toohey.
Any further help would be brilliant. Thank you so much

Thanks very much for this information Jack. It seems the census entries might not have helped too much at first look, but the electoral register coroborates stories!
Many thanks
Many thanks

Tipperary / Nenagh Electoral roll c. 1942?
« on: Tuesday 02 December 08 22:15 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
This is a fantastic site, and I hope to make a contribution when I can!
I was hoping someone would be able to help me. Would anyone have access to electoral registers for Nenagh in the 1940s? I am looking for O'Donoghue/Donoghue/Donohue etc living in St. Joseph's Park. A key name would be Patrick.
For the 30s, 20s or even 1900s, another key name would be Edward.
Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Matt

The root name - O'Donoghue originated in Cork and Kerry, which is where you will still find most of them (Ross castle in Killarney is still the home of the O'Donoghues, and there is even a place in Kerry called Ballydonoghue!). You will find Donoghues (however you spell it!) in Tipperary for sure - I'm trying to track some down myself!
Also, in case you don't know, don't get too caught up on the spelling of the name. I've seen my family name spelt a number of ways - Donoghue/O'Donoghue/Donohue etc. Best thing to look for is unique forenames and relevant places, as the spelling of the surname could just be down to misunderstanding accents, illiteracy, or the official not being bothered to find out how to spell the name!
eg.
'Is that how ye spell ye name?'
'sure, tis grand'.
It's driving me up the wall!

Hi Jack,
I'd be really greatful if you could look up any Donohue/Donoghue/O'Donoghues in Nenagh, primarily in the 1911 census. Key names are Edward (more likely to be a householder) or William (would be very very young if born at all) or possibly patrick Donohue. a Key street (if it has that information) is St. Joseph's Park.
Any help will be fantastic as these people are proving to be elusive!
