Cahill - Doneraile Cork

[sarenid]

I am trying to trace Cahill family from Doneraile.  There appears to be at least 2 sons Laurence b. 1814 Doneraile Charles b. 1816.  May also have been a 3rd son who had daughters Honoria b.1835 Doneraile Amy b.1837 and  Margaret b.1839 - included in censuses as cousins.

Laurence Cahill married Ellen Hanly abt 1840 probably Ireland but moved to London where he traded as a Master Japenner employing 4 men 1851 census.    He must have been in London by 1843 as his first son William was born Camberwell registered Jan-Mar 1843.   He had further 4 children Michael John Cahill b.1845 Camberwell Surrey d. Jun 1864, Ellen Marie Cahill b.1847 Camberwell Surrey, Lawrence Cahill b. 1848 d. 1897 & Daniel Cahill b.1850.  Laurence Cahill died 1865.

I think they were Roman Catholic as I have found no baptism records for any of the children.  Furthermore some of Ellen Cahill's children were educated at convent school and later one worked as a governess at a convent.

Charles Carhill married a Ruth Williams and also had children he was a commercial traveller.

It is the link to Ellen Hanly I am particularly interested as I believe she was possibly a niece of a Michael Hanly b. 1796 Sligo.  Any information regarding this family would be greatly appreciated.

Since posting this message whilst trawling the internet I came across a reference to a death announcement in the Cork examiner which indicates that Laurence Cahill's father was called John:

CAHILL, Laurence "son of late John"; ; Castletownroche COR IRL>London LND ENG; Cork Examiner (COR IRL); 1865-9-22; dja

Laurence Cahill died 19 September 1865 in a road accident.

Hi you posted a long time ago but Laurence Cahill was my great great great grandfather! he had a son called Laurence who then had a son called Laurence who was my grandmother's father. I have heard that he was killed outside the three Kings Pub in Hammersmith - knocked over by a Sarson's vinegar truck.

Hi lovely to hear from you.  If you like  could pm you with my email.  Have done some research into Laurence's family and can give you access to what I have.  It is on my tree on Ancestry but not attached because I am not sure what the relationship connection between my Hanly 3xgr grandfather and the Cahill family was.  There are co-incidences which would seem to indicate some kind of family connection but nothing substantial.  Laurence Cahill was killed in a road accident and I think somewhere I found a newspaper report to that effect.
