I am looking for anyone in the Millstreet area who may be related or knows of anyone who is to the above family. My Grandfather, Patrick was born in the Millstreet workhouse in 1872 to Mary, nee Twomey and John Halloran who were married in Millstreet in 1865. They had three other children, Denis born in Millstreet in 1867 and twins John and Hannah born in Cork city in 1869. The family, minus Denis and Hannah, who we presume both died in childhood emigrated to New Zealand in the 1880′s. Hoping there is someone who can help us.
Best regards,

Genealogy: Sweeney / Creedon

Michael — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:28:23 +0000

After a long search I have finally found out where my great grandparents came from i.e. Millstreet and Drishane. I am hoping that someone has some information that coud take me further with my family’s history.

Michael Sweeny was born Millstreet Workhouse on the 25th July 1865. His parents were Margaret Creedon and John Sweeny who shortly after came to live in Brentford, England where they had a further two children, Cornelius (1867) and Margaret (1870), my grandmother.

Another child, Johanna Sweeny, had been born in Cork in 1859 but apart from two entries for her in the 1871/81 census for Brentford, England, I can find nothing else about her although I am sure she married (?Mr Moore) and had children.

John Sweeny’s parents were Denis McSweeny and Ellena Fitzgerald of Drishane.

Margaret Creedon’s (born in circa 1840) parents were Michael Creedon and Margaret Collins of Milstreet.

I would be grateful if anybody has any more information about any of the above. Perhaps I still have relatives in that part of the word. If I have I would love to meet them.

Thank you for your help.

Genealogy: Greetings from Connecticut

Michael — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 05:45:55 +0000

Greetings from Stamford, Connecticut, USA! I am proud to say that my ancestors lived in Millstreet at least as early as the 1830′s and probably long before that. My great-great-grandfather John Murphy married Ellen Curtin in Millstreet parish in 1858. Their daughters Mary and Margaret went to the US in the 1880′s, son Daniel went to NZ, and daughter Ellen (Nellie) and sons Patrick and Daniel (Twins) and John, I have no idea what happened to them. Margaret disliked America and came back to Ireland; she and Nellie ran a guesthouse in Cork city at 8 Kings Terrace, that still stands, from at least 1910 on.

Would love to find out if there are any Murphys and Curtins still living in Millstreet whose roots go back to the 1830′s. Better still would be to find living cousins!

From photos I can see that your area is beautiful, and I hope to come visit soon.

Genealogy: Fordes, Riordans and Buckleys

Michael — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:17:04 +0000

Mike Cotter has a number of queries of people from the Millstreet area:
1) I am trying to find out anything that people might know of the family/descendants of a Patrick Forde and his wife Julia (Riordan), who lived in Gortaveha, Drishane at the end of the 1800′s. I know that two sons of theirs emigrated to the States and one grandchild, Nellie Forde, was born in 1895 in Scotland.
2) I am also interested in finding any descendants of a Dan and Margaret Riordan who lived in Toorboney, who were married in 1903 and had the following children; Tim, Julia, John, Michael and Hannah, all born between 1903 and 1911.
3) Lastly, I would also like to make contact with, or find out about the family of Dan Buckley and Johanna Riordan, who were married on 9/2/1896, and lived in Caherbarnagh. They had 8 children; William, Margaret, Tim, Julia, Mary, Hannah, Josephine and Daniel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Interestingly, another Con Corcoran who was born in Millstreet is buried in the same graveyard. It is quite probable they were related but this one is Cornelius T. Corcoran (March 19th 1880 – Jan 30th 1820) son of Tim & Mary (neé Kennealy) Corcoran of Coolekerane (see the headstone on the right). Read his baptismal information.

Here are photos of headstones of other probable realtions in the same graveyard
