Hello all,
Yesterday at my local family history centre, courtesy of helpful LDS volunteers, I found my Kerrisk forbears in a place which reads Bealanahulla in the priests handwriting. This is from the Castleisland Parish records.
I haven't been able to find the little place on any map or to find them on any posted Valuation site.
The names are John Kerrisk and wife Nora (nee Connell). They had 3 children one of whom was christened Thimotheus Kerrisk who went to Bermuda in 1857 as a prison officer. Tim had a son William Kerrisk who came to Australia from Bermuda in 1880's, who became my great grandpa.
If anyone has access to records of Castleisland tenants or any other thing at all , I would be grateful for any information on them.
The only other info that I have is that Timothy's sister Nora married Daniel Louney and had a daughter Margaret in 1857. This is from Timothy's will. The Louneys had other children as well, Timothy is listed as godparent to some of them.
My primary interest is the original family of John and Nora Kerrisk and anyone preceding them!!!!!
.
Hope someones got some ideas up their sleeve for me.
Julie
