Hi Kath.

Jim Rees has written several local books as well as "Split Personalities". I would say if you are to make contact with him he will put you in the right direction as to a copy of the book. Amazon have it but its not for sale yet. Even to get his book and see what his sources were.

John.

Very interesting thread. Anyone  have any connections to Murphy/Darcy?  My father's god parents were Timothy and Elizabeth Dary.  His name was John Murphy. born Ballyloughlin, Monaseed christened in Kilanerin. Johns parents were Samuel and Bridget both Murphys.  Bridget's parents were   Michael Murphy, Annagh, and Mary Darcy. Michael's parents were James Murphy, Annagh, and Bridget Kinsley.  Mary Darcy Murphy's  parents were  Michael Darcy and Elizabeth Kinsley.   Other names in the family  Osborne, Kerwan Sullivan, My fathers father Samuel Murphy was from Carriglegan, Ferns. He was carpenter and moved to the Murphys house at Ballyloughlin after his marriage. 
Wonder were these Darcys related to the evicted Darcys?  I know my father spoke about a Cannon Darcy. any ideas, I would be most grateful.

Not sure if they are the same Darcy family but my gt grandfather Daniel Green/e married a Mary Darcy in Kilanerin.  They had two sons, John and Patrick and a female born in Dublin.  Don't know what happened but Daniel, 20 years later married a Bridget Byrne and they had a John, Patrick and Elizabeth.

Do you know where the family were buried?
If you can let me have some dates for your Murphy and Darcy and I will see what I can find

My fathers Godfather Timothy Darcy born 1890 was the son of Michael. Michael Darcy was the son of WilliamDarcy and Jane Blake.  Timothy married in Dublin. He too had a sister Mary Darcy. 

Any help in connecting the families appreciated.

I have quite a few registrations for the Darcy family which you can have but far too many to note here.  They are from the Coolgreany, Ballyfad and surrounding areas.  You may be able to link them together.

It is my understanding we have to correspond three times on this site before we can share email addresses - is that correct Shane?

Hi ailbhe

You mention the surname Osborne.  Where does this come in your family tree?

Here are the details of my gt grandfather's marriage  Arklow Parish Births.  Mary Darcy Marr Daniel GREENE KNOCKGREANY 16 Feb 1863, Kilanerin. Witnesses Thomas Darcy and Denis Garvey
Mary Darcy's sibling.  Mary had a brother Thomas and I have found out the other day she also had a brother Patrick as I have since found this -
Daniel and Mary Greene were godparents to Bridget in 1863 born to Patrick Darcy and Honora Mulligan living in Crohen, page 19 Killenior parish records.

Daniel's brother Patrick married an Elizabeth Kinsella - parents John Kinsella and a Judith Kavanagh.

Do you think the Christian name Miles/Myles would be Michael in 'English'?
