Help needed Cork City
« on: Wednesday 17 June 20 04:18 BST (UK) »
After researching my family tree for 30 years, during the lockdown, I found I had Irish ancestors.
This is what I have found;
Jeremiah Tuhey Christened 6 September 1802 St Marys Cork City. His father is Matthew Teahy and his mother is Peggy Coleman. His wife was Mary. (I  found this information on an Ancestry Tree )
My relative is Hannah Jane Tuhey who I believe is the daughter of Jeremiah and Mary.
Hannah is my 2 times great grandmother.

I have found a death for Jeremiah Toomey in Bermondsey, London, England dated 1843.
I also found a death for Mary Tuhey in Bermondsey, London, England dated 1859

I would like to find Jeremiah and his family in Ireland

I get lost with Irish records but have had a look and can not find any reference to these people.
I have tried all the different names, Toomy, Teahy, and Tuhey.
Any help that can be provided would be most appreciated

But it's Leahy not Teahy.

A bit more investigation needed.

Simply the wrong family, just another example of how any hint from a tree needs the original checked.

Just double-checked her surname from the marriage certificate.
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=832948.0

Her father was a Jeremiah (Dead)

Yes, the trees on ancestry are not reliable but can have some hints to follow and rule in or out.

Edit;
Hannah's 1st child was Mary Ann
