My family believed he was the son of Jane and Cornelius Dennehy, and the brother of Norah. However based on his age 34 in 1938, it is unlikely he was the son of Cornelius and Jane who were married in Millstreet on February 9, 1867. I think your account is probably more accurate. Much of our belief is because the pictures of the funeral in the Millstreet book, which references Jane as his Mother, and a family story about a relative who was murdered in Ireland in the late 1930's. My great grandmother Margaret, was daughter of Cornelius and Jane Dennehy, and the sister of Norah, Jane, John, Mary, Timothy, Hannah, and Julia Dennehy. There may be two other brothers who we cannot account for. I am assuming our Norah, and your Hanora, are the same person. Are you related to Kathleen Collins, Denis Dennehy, and Norah Toomey(spelling?) who I met on my visit to Ireland in 1999. I met with Sean Radley at that time too. If possible I would like to communicate with you directly to compare information. I sent an email to Sean and the other administrators at <email> If you would like to share more information, you can contact them. I told them to share my email with you, if you requested it. Thanks, Bill Peter,

He was the son of Cornelius and Jane Dennehy. Jane is listed as his Mother in the funeral pictures in Sean Radley's Millstreet book. Sean told me it was my family. According to our records we believe there were 10 children, 4 boys and 6 girls. Cornelius, Nora, Jane, John, Mary, Timothy, Margaret (my great grandmother), and twins Hannah and Julia. We do not know who the last son was, but based this story it was probably Andrew. We know and can verify Margaret, Jane, and Hannah emigrated to the United States and died here. Norah came to the US and returned. I am researching my Dennehy roots and would like to connect directly with others who believe they are from the same family.

Cornelius ("Con") had THREE brothers not two, Dan, Thade and Andy. Dan was the eldest and in fact was the one who identified Con's body. Whilst the other two brothers did emigrate to the States they both returned in later life and saw out their days around Millstreet. Neither had any children. Dan married and moved to TwoPotHouse, Mallow, where he had four children, Nora, Peter, Kathleen and Denis. Jane stayed in Millstreet and has two surviving sons, Gerry and Peter.

He had two brothers Thade and Andy (who both emigrated to America) and a sister Jane. The car he was murdered in was brought back to Millstreet by his brother Thade and this was the taxi in Millstreet for years. The registration plate was "ZB 1129". There are two pictures of his funeral in the "Picture Millstreet" book which was published by Seán Radley some years ago.
