I am trying to research the Holden name.

My fathers name was Holden and I am trying to find out as much as possible about the Holdens who lived in both St Mullins,and Tullowbeg,Carlow,Ireland.

If anybody has any information about the family and would like to get in touch,then please leave a message.

My great grandmother was Ellen LEAHY born around 1850 in CORK. Her father was Michael LEAHY a farmer and her mother as yet unknown. She met and married my ggrandfather William HUGHES whilst he was serving in the Royal Engineers, British Army. He helped construct Cork Harbour and Camden Fort.
They married at St Finnbarr's south chapel in 1871, then moved to England when he had served his time in the RE and settled initially in Birmingham. William eventually became a professional photographer. I've been unable to find a record of Ellen's birth though so any help appreciated. Nice to meet you all.

I have recently been compiling my brother-in-law's tree and almost all branches of his family came to England from Ireland between 1800 and 1841, mostly from the south but exactly where is not known. There are a few known to be from Dublin.

I understand that most of the records prior to 1864 have been destroyed and it appears to me that there are very few published indexes, particularly on the internet, prior to that date. Can someone tell me if this is true, because if so it would make it pretty well impossible for someone who is non-resident in Ireland to trace families.

I am one of the M222 clan: Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b1b2e, formerly R1b1c7 also identified as R-M222, was shown to be especially common among family names which claim a descent from Niall. The sample population consisted of the following surnames (and sample number): (O')Gallagher (12); (O')Boyle (9); (O')Doherty (5); O'Donnell (4); O'Connor (3); Cannon (3), Bradley (2); O'Reilly (2); Flynn (2); (Mc)Kee (2); Campbell (1); Devlin (1); Donnelly (1); Egan (1); Gormley (1); Hynes (1); McCaul (1); McGovern (1); McLoughlin (1); McManus (1); McMenamin (1); Molloy (1); O'Kane (1); O'Rourke (1); and Quinn (1).[15]

My late wife's parents (Danaher and Callaghan/O'Callaghan) originally came from the Ballybunion area, before marrying and settling in Bromley, Kent.

Anyone who has any helpful information please contact me.
