I am interested in a marriage between. a Timothy O'Donovan and a Joan Hayes.  The wedding would be in West Cork, possibly in Kilmacabea (Leap) or nearby Roscarberry.  I estimate that we are looking in the 1845-1855 time span.  Anyone with links to both names, I would love to hear from you.

Nos waith dda o Gymru/  Good evening from Wales.  For the past 8 years or so, I have been trying to claculate the relationship between my O'Donovan family, in the Tullig, Leap area and Tadgh An Asna O'Donovan, leader of the United Irishmen in West Cork; killed at the Battle of the Big Cross, on June 14th 1798.  For years as a child and adult, I heard that we are related to the great man, but at the time, never had the presence of mind to ask the nature of our relationship.  Sadly, there is now nobody left to ask, on either side of the Celtic Sea.
A friend of mine, Clonakilty born and bred told me the following story;
It was said in the area that you draw a line from Clonakilty, around Rossmore, Reenascreena and over to Tullig and return via Foxhall, Sam's Cross and the Pike, all of the families within this are are related to each other.  This particularly interests me , as my O'Donovan family were from Tullig and Tadhg's from Kilbree, also within the triangle.
Anyone know anything about this story please?

Noswaith dda/ Dia Duit, from Cymru.   I am interested in a possible marriage/ connection between Donovan and Santry, within the Leap/ Tullig/  Reenescrena area of West Cork.  The Catholic parish would be, Kilmacabea.
Because of the copious amount of Donovan families in this area, families were often assigned an additional tag.  My Donovans were and, I believe, are still known  as Sean Og.
Hope to hear from somebody.
Diolch yn fair/ go raib maith agat/ thanks Keith

Hi all.  Researching Murphy family in Kinneigh.  Fairly certain my g,g,g grandmother was one Nelly Corcoran, married to Ned (Edward/ Edmond) Murphy.  They had at least 6 children, Pat, Margaret, Jno(?), Edmond, Con and one other unknown.
Grateful for any connection, or indeed explanation of what Jno is short for.

Diolch/ thanks.
