Ellen Cusack, born c1834 - trying to find her father Patrick (not James)

[kob3203]

Ellen married Michael Corbett on 8 March 1859 in the RC parish of Glanworth and Ballindangan, Diocese of Cloyne - sixth entry on the left page here https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633883#page/21/mode/1up )

The couple lived in Ballykearney and had seven children between 1860 and 1872. The informant for two of their children's births is 'Patrick Cusack, occupier'
 - William b14Oct1865 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1865/03550/2307020.pdf
 - Patrick b9May1868 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1868/03437/2262165.pdf

The informant for 66yo Patrick Cusack's 15Jul1871 Ballykearney death was daughter Ellen Cusack of Ballykearney https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1871/020763/7284100.pdf

The informant for 84yo James Cusack's 5Sep1891 death was niece Ellen Corbett of Ballykearney https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1891/06061/4727950.pdf

Ellen died in 1900 in Ballykearney (Mitchelstown, Co Cork) aged 66, so estimated birth year 1834  - entry 362 fourth from bottom here https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1900/05743/4621612.pdf

However, I'm drawing blanks trying to track down a Patrick Cusack who had a daughter Ellen around 1834. Any help would be much appreciated.


(I originally thought that James was her father, as the 29 Aug 1840 baptism of Ellen, daughter of Jas Cusack and Jane Lane was the only record that came close, and it was in the parish where she got married - just over halfway down the left page here https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633882#page/23/mode/1up. But the informant details for James and Patrick's deaths make it quite clear that this is not her)

Maybe Ellen was born and baptised in the same parish, i.e.  Glanworth and Ballindangan, in which case there would be no record available, since the baptism records for the parish only cover back to 1836.

Maybe check for records of possible younger sibling instead


p.s. Griffith's shows a Patrick Cusack as occupier of house and land at Ballykearney, date appears to be 1852

Thank you, that gives me at least two baptisms (can't be sure I've found them all) -

 14 Jun 1840, Mary, Patrick Cusack + Joanna Cantwell, ? Condon + Mary ?, Ballykerny https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633882#page/22/mode/1up

13 June 1841, John, parents Pat^k Cusack + Joanna Cantwell, witnesses W^m Cantwell + Mary Cantwell, Ballykerny https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633882#page/27/mode/1up

Ellen (and other siblings perhaps) being baptised in the same place a year or two before the earliest extant baptism records seems highly probable now.
