CARROLL family, possibly from Coachford, Co. Cork
« on: Wednesday 24 September 08 20:31 BST (UK) »
Any information that could be provided on the CARROLL family that resided in the area of Coachford, County Cork,would be appreciated.  ;D

In the early 1880's Honora CARROLL married John WHONOHAN (Variants: Hounihan and Hounahan).  He was from the Donoughmore Parish, and the marriage took place in a Roman Catholic ceremony on 27//11/1824. 

Two witnesses were John WHONOHAN and William WHONOHAN.

They couple went to live in Donoughmore.  They had a child named Margaret and she was baptised 30/09/1830.  Two sponsors were Robert Whonohan and Judith Carroll, who were somehow related to the parents - but we are unsure of that fact.

As I understand it, Coachford is in the Parish of Magourney, near the parishes of Donaghmore and Cannaway where the Hounihans may be located - at least in time for Griffith's Valuation.  :-*
Carroll, McCarroll, McCusker and McCosker from County Tyrone. Then there are Dillen for Derry, Gaffigan, McGaffigan, Crennan, and Amos.  Now adding: Leonard, Berry, and Gahagan from Strokestown, County Roscommon, also Gahigan, Hounihan, and Whonohan and another branch of Carrolls from County Cork.

Will ask a moderator to move this post out of Cork Resourses and into Cork for you.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

You will have to have patience with this old man as he tries to navigate all of these boards.  Thank you very much for the assistance.
