Thanks for the church marriage record for Michael Dunphy and Ellen Guidera. This indicates that they were married in County Tipperary, but unfortunately as with the great majority of church marriage records the names of parents are not mentioned. Thanks for your help.  Mike

Thanks for your reply. Yes, these are the 2 folk I mentioned in my query and the townland you found is where they lived. I'm not sure of Ellen's origins, but I seem to recall she was from Tipperary. Despite a good search I haven't as yet been able to find a marriage cert for Michael and Ellen. This cert would likely give me the names of their parents which would be a big breakthrough. Regards - Mike

I'm researching the Dunphy family who lived on Coolkerry townland just east of Coneyburrow Bridge. Only one wall of their home, formerly a thatched roof cottage remains. I have established that Michael Dunphy (b.approx 1814), his wife Ellen (nee Guidara; B. 1828) and their 4 children lived on site. Subsequent generations of Dunphys continued to live in the home. I'd like to know who was Michael's father and also more about Ellen, Michael jnr wife. Can anyone help?

Saw your query re the Donnellys from Cavan. John and Catherine are my gg grandparents too and I have been working on them for about 10 years now. I even wrote a book on them in 2006. I still have plenty of queries on them. I did manage to track down Mary Ann's wedding to John Early in Ireland and also the baptism of their child child Catherine. I have loads of information on John and Mary Ann in Tasmania. I have never been able to find what happened to James. I assume that John and Catherine lived close to Cavan Town on the basis of the location of the parish for their wedding and the baptism of Catherine. More than happy to have more discussion on this.
