Cork / Re: Murphy and Rathpeacon
« on: Sunday 06 January 19 22:43 GMT (UK) »I am searching for Catherine Murphy , born to Timothy Murphy and Catherine Reeves in 1864 in Ireland. Also, another daughter named Julia born 1873. The sisters immigrated to Boston in late 1800s . Catherine married a John James Cochrane and gave birth to Ellen( Helen) Theresa Cochrane in 1889. It is Helen who is great grandmother to my children. The writing in the church register is unclear and it may say Rathpeacon. I can only make out the first four letters, R A T H. If you in future research come across these names, please email me. Thank you.****************************************
I sent you a personal message, Brenda. Hope you get it.

Cork / Re: Salmon, Murphy and Finn from Milford near Newmarket, Co. Cork
« on: Thursday 21 August 14 14:21 BST (UK) »
Thank you for all your help and hard work, Sinann. Yes, when my wife found all that information within a few hours (we were up until 4am), I was amazed and thought that at last, through that site, I would find all my answers. I didn't even find one! It was such a contrast. So many people were researching her family that all the pieces just fell into place. I seem to be the only one researching mine, which can't be true, I hope, but it seems like it.
Anyway, thank you so much for the information. I've now managed to get the details of Michael's marriage to Eliza. The Salmon info is still elusive, but my sister had a vague memory of someone telling her that Michael's mother was Ellen Angland and I have managed to find her marriage to John Murphy and the details seem to match, although the Salmon link was originally the one that was promising. I greatly appreciate your help. The one thing that continues to puzzle me is that in all my researching of the various branches of the family I have yet to meet a fellow traveller.

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 / Re: Is there a Kemp Street in Cork?
« on: Wednesday 27 February 13 01:30 GMT (UK) »
I know the Cork Synagogue well. The area behind it is now a large car park. There is a lane running to one side of the synagogue which is parallel with Rutland Street and with White Street further along and that might be what is left of Kemp St. It may be that it is part of what is now the Lee Garage, or at least running alongside it, but it would be too narrow for any cemetery and maybe the garage was built over the cemetery land or took much of the land the street was on? This is an old photograph of the garage. You can see the synagogue to the left of it and the garage seems to take up quite a large space next to the synagogue. Kemp Street is either lost to the garage, I suspect, or/and to the car park at the back of the synagogue.

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 / Re: Where is Knockavulling?
« on: Monday 18 February 13 15:07 GMT (UK) »
Success! I got a lead from someone who lives in the general area of Kanturk/Newmarket to look at townlands near Tullylease, not too far from the aforementioned towns. The townland of Knockavulling there is variously known as Knockavullen, Knockawillin and Knockawillen, depending on the source. Anyway, I found Knockawillin in both the 1901 and 1911 census returns and found the people for whom I was looking and all the details matched, so I know I found the right area. I guess one of the difficulties in this kind of research will always be the variations in spelling, depending on who wrote down the information and how good an ear they had for Irish place names. I managed to find so much information just by that one lead, and have now identified my great-great-grandparents and great-great-great grandparents and numerous members of their families.

Cork / Re: Where is Knockavulling?

Thanks, Aghadowey. You are always very helpful. It could indeed be the same place. It is only about 25 miles from Newmarket. There is a mention of a Knockavulling (with the n) on a grave in this cemetery in Kilbrin, near Kanturk
http://www.kilbrin.net/KilbrinGraveyardSectionB.html
and my maternal Great-Grandmother's marriage certificate lists her as having come from Knockavulling. She was married in Newmarket or Kanturk and lived in Newmarket all her life, so that made me think Knockavulling might be near there.
