Cork / Thomas Curtin & Mary Scannell Cork City
« on: Thursday 20 January 22 10:12 GMT (UK) »
Greetings!
I am researching the Curtin and Scannell familes of Cork City, County Cork. Thomas Curtin and Mary Scannell of MP Road were married on the 10th February, 1822 at the South Parish (St Finbarr’s). Witness for Thomas Curtin was Michael Danovan and witness for Mary Scannell was Owen Moran.
Thomas Curtin was baptised on the 5th May 1804 at Halfmoon Schabeg. Sponsors were Jerry Hogan and Norry Connor.
I haven't got far on researching Mary and the Scannell family.
I am descended from their son, John, who came out to Australia in 1854 and married Bridget O'Sullivan from Mallow. John's death certificate gave Thomas's occupation as Stevedore which is quite a specific occupation. John worked his passage to Australia as an Able Sailor, but worked as a blacksmith, stove fitter and fireman.
The birth details of children of Thomas Curtin and Mary Scannell are as follows:
Margaret 23rd March, 1824
Eliza 3rd September, 1826
Timothy 14th December, 1828
John S. 1st July, 1831 1882
Thomas 30th June, 1833
Honora 1st February, 1835
William 20th June. 1837
Mary Ann 21st January, 1842
The only other detail I have is that it mentioned on John's tombstone that he came from Evergreen. I would dearly like to know how the family fared during An Gorta Mor. Did they survive?
I hope this rings some bells.
Best wishes,
Rowena
