Valentine, son of John Roche and Margaret Condon, was baptized in Douglas-Ballygarvan RC parish, 9 Aug 1818, parents' residence Tullig. Tullig More (or Tulligmore) is in Ballinaboy civil parish, about 12 miles north of Kinsale. It was the location of a large flour mill operated by Daniel Keleher (Keller) at that time. The area would now be referred to as Ballinhassig. I show another son of John & Margaret's, Patrick, baptized at Shanbally, Carrigaline (Passage West RC parish), 14 April 1822, godparents Mick Roche and Mary Tuomy. There was also a large flour mill in Shanbally townland. A Valentine Roche operated the flour mill at Brownsmills, Kinsale, at some time, and he is perhaps your Valentine. The buildings were still standing when I saw them in 1983.
'Gara' would be an old spelling of Garraha, a townland in Rincurran civil parish, about 2 miles east of Kinsale town, and maybe a mile from Brownsmills. Frank Thompson
