Hello, I am looking for the descendants John Collins and his wife Margaret Collins Collins.  According to their marriage record (16-Feb-1889, Bantry), John's residence was Aghaville. I know quite a bit about Margaret's family, from Colomane East.  Margaret and John are in both censuses in Colomane East with their children John (Jackey), Dina (Diana), and Denis, who may have been called Bob.

I am trying to track down Diana's marriage record now.  She may have had children nicknamed Roggie and Pitchie.  Roggie, the boy, had curly red hair.  My aunt remembers the children from a visit to Colomane East in late 1930, when she herself was seven years old, to visit her dying grandfather Denis Collins.

Looking for the marriage of Daniel Mahony and Maryanne McCarthy, about 1898.  They were in Gurranes North, in the DED of Dromdaleague North in the 1901 and 1911 censuses.  The latter census says they were married 13 years and they had six children, all living.  In 1901 the oldest child was less than a year old. 

 

So far I have not been successful looking at civil reg at http://www.familysearch.org.  

 

Maryanne (who also went by Mary) is listed as the daughter on the death record of an elderly Mary McCarthy whose date of death was 16-May-1918 and which occurred in the same place.

My husband's family is Reuby, originally from Cork. Philip Reuby (often spelled Rubie) was born in 1814, and married to Mary Finn. His son, also Philip, was born in Cork in 1836 but moved to London sometime before 1861. He was a mariner, then a fireman - many of his children were born in the living accommodation above Holloway Fire Station.

Does anybody know if any County Cork coroner inquest papers survived the 1922 fire and are archived someplace? I am interested in a drowning that occurred in Lissane, near Drimoleague, in February 1903. The death record says the coroner was R. Neville. The Southern Star news archives do not mention this particular drowning, though R. Neville (I think he was Richard Neville) was the coroner for another drowning in Ballineen that occurred around the same time. I have already googled, and have not found anything at NAI that mentions Cork inquests specifically. The email I sent an inquiry to at corkarchives.ie archivist@corkcity.ie bounced. I am now trying cork.heritage@corkcoco.ie but if anybody knows anything about coroner records I'd appreciate hearing about it.

I have recently added a Facebook Group representing the Yahoo Group I moderate for Cork City, Ireland. My reasoning in doing so was to have a place that was more flexible and had more features that the simple text group.

If Cork City is one of your interests please join us there:

Is anybody connected to Michael Driscoll and Johanna Collins of Currabeg, Castlehaven?

Looking for their marriage. So far I have been unsuccessful with PILOT.

Daughter Hanora was born 20-Oct-1890. In the 1901 census Michael in Currabeg (Castlehaven North DED) he is a widower. Nora is missing (I think I know where she was). The oldest child listed in 1901 is Helena, age 19. The youngest is 6. That would put the family years around 1882-1895.

I searched http://irishgenealogy.ie and found a son older than Helena, Jeremiah, baptized 16-Sep-1880.

I've tried searching PILOT with reasonable variants of Johanna as well as Honora: Hanora, Hannah, Ann, Joan. There are an Honora Collins and a Michael Driscoll listed in Dunmanway in 1878 but they weren't married to each other. Argggh!

Does anybody have Barnane in their family tree? That is a very West Cork name. It may be anglicized as Bernard.

Johanna Barnane married Humphrey Collins of Lissane, Caheragh 15-Feb-1820 in the old chapel in Drinagh. We think Johanna and Humphrey are my gg-grandfather Michael's parents - the problem is we cannot find a baptismal record for Michael. From a death record we think he was born 1822. Johanna's and Humphrey's children were baptized in Caheragh: Catherine 2-Dec-1820; John 18-May-1824; Honora "Norry" 17-Dec-1829; James 7-Aug-1833; Jeremiah 7-Dec-1835. The only marriage/baptismal witness of relevance is a Mary Barnet/Barnane.

Besides the son Michael we think that Humphrey also had a brother Michael and that Johanna Barnane was a baptimal sponsor to his son James, 1-Feb-1829.

It is possible that Johanna died and Humphrey remarried and had more children with a Mary Brien.

I am aware of a few Barnanes in the Drinagh tithe applotment. After that, the trail grows cold as I haven't yet looked around in Dunmanway, Clonakilty, etc.

I'm interested in a village or township called "Kilflynn" from which a Margaret Walsh (latterly Mrs. Torrey) emigrated in the 1860s.
