Cork / Salmon, Murphy and Finn from Milford near Newmarket, Co. Cork
« on: Wednesday 20 August 14 13:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

Researching my family has been very frustrating as I can find no one else who is also doing the research. Across all the branches, I seem to be the only one, which is bizarre, but I get no matches anywhere. In the meantime, my wife went on the ancestry.co.uk site the other night and within three hours had traced her great-grandmother's line back to 1620!!

 I am trying to trace the Salmon family from Milford, near Newmarket, Co. Cork. Julia Salmon married John Murphy and they then had Michael Murphy in 1866. Michael married Eliza Finn, who was born in the same area in 1869 and the marriage took place around 1887, I think, in Newmarket. I will put up a separate enquiry about the Finns, but if anyone could help with the above, it would be wonderful.

Thanks

Cork / Youghal Asylum
« on: Monday 18 February 13 22:54 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace a relative of mine who ended up in the Youghal Mental Asylum in the late 1800s/early 1900s. I know that he was there in 1911 and certainly had been in 1901.  I don't know how to search for the Census records of the asylum, but my main question is whether this asylum was purely for Protestants or were Roman Catholics admitted there too? From the little I have managed to find out about it, it appears to have been a Protestant asylum, yet he was a Roman Catholic.

Cork / Where is Knockavulling?
« on: Sunday 17 February 13 17:43 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me locate this parish/townland? Google throws up very limited information. It is somewhere around the Kanturk/Newmarket area of Co. Cork, but I cannot narrow it down any further thus far. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

I am trying to find if there is anyone else researching Jeremiah Hayes from Rosscarbery Co. Cork, who died in the Bronx in 1952.

Cork / Puzzled!
« on: Thursday 17 January 13 20:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I am very puzzled as in my family research I have come across two sons called Peter, living at the same time. One was born in 1889, in Fermoy, to my great-grandfather, also called Peter ( born 1860) and surnamed O'Callaghan.  He joined the Navy and I have his records for WW1 and a little beyond that period. However, another Peter is born, also in Fermoy, in 1901 and he also joins the army in 1917. They are definitely two completely different Peters, but they have the same addresses and I have different birth certs for each of them showing that they were born to my great-grandparents. Has anyone else come across a situation where two children in a familiy had the same name?  It just seems very strange.

Cork / Murphy and Reeves Rathpeacon
« on: Thursday 17 January 13 20:49 GMT (UK)  »
I am very keen to find anyone else researching Catherine Reeves, who married Timothy Murphy and who lived in Rathpeacon near Whitechurch, Co. Cork. She died in 1880, giving birth to her daughter, Ellen.

Cork / Mulcahy family Garrynoe Fermoy
« on: Monday 07 June 10 19:33 BST (UK)  »
Mary Mulcahy was born in 1842, married a John Mulcahy and settled in Garrynoe, just outside of Fermoy, Co. Cork.  They had three children that I know of- a daughter, Hannah or Johanna, who was born around 1868-1871.  A son, Patrick, born in 1875 and a son, Thomas, born in 1883.  Sometime between 1883 and 1888, John Mulcahy died.  He was a labourer.  Both sons were also labourers, Patrick being a mill worker and Thomas being an agricultural labourer.  Hannah married a Peter O’Callaghan, who had served in the army in Egypt/Sudan and Bermuda and was a shoemaker.  They settled in Princes St, Fermoy and moved to Cork City in 1902, where they lived in Lloyds Lane, then Easons Lane and, finally, the Old Market Place. 

I would be very interested to know anymore about the Mulcahys of Garrynoe, Fermoy.

Cork / Catherine Reeves/Timothy Murphy Rathpeacon
« on: Monday 07 June 10 14:40 BST (UK)  »
Timothy Murphy  and Catherine Reeves married in 1861 and lived on the Old Mallow Road, Rathpeacon,, just outside Cork.  I am told that together they had 10 children, 5 boys and 5 girls.  On August 29th 1880, the last child, Ellen (Ellie), was born and Catherine died one day later as a result of a haemorrhage from the childbirth.

I know from the 1911 census that Timothy Murphy was still living in the house at that point, with one unmarried daughter, Mary.  I would be very interested to know what happened to the other children of the family.  I know names of only a few of them- a son, Patsy, who moved to South Wales to work in the coal mines, other sons Thomas, Charles and Owen, and a daughter, Elizabeth. 

There is a record of a Daniel Murphy being present at the death of Catherine Murphy nee Reeves.  In the 1911 census, a Daniel Murphy lives in the house next door to the family of Timothy Murphy and he lists several children two of whom bear the names Timothy and Ellie, both names from the other Murphy family, which leads me to believe that he may be the same Daniel and may have been the eldest son of Timothy and Catherine, although he would have been only about 10 yrs old at the time of Catherine’s death if it were he.  His wife is Eliza.

Cork / Connors and Fermoy
« on: Friday 22 August 08 22:02 BST (UK)  »
Catherine Connors married John Callaghan of Fermoy. Co. Cork where they both lived. In 1860, she gave birth to Peter.  I have come across a mention of a John Callaghan and Catherine Callaghan in Fermoy in the 1851 census.  It is possible that they also had a son, John, who may have been a stonemason and another son, name unknown, who joined the RCMP.  I am working here from a mixture of memory of what my grandfather told me and the actual birth cert for Peter in 1860.  Does this link of Connors and Callaghan in this time frame ring a bell with anybody else?
