Comment on Guestbook by Kevin Kelleher

I just started searching family history and have found a possible connection to Millstreet. My great grandfather was Daniel Kelleher and he had a brother Cornelius. After checking the 1900 Census for Toledo Ohio where we know Daniel lived we found him living as a boarder with a family. He listed date of immigration to the USA as 1893. I checked immigration list and found a Daniel and Cornelius traveling together to Boston that year. They listed their last place of residence as County Kerry. Searching County Kerry with this new information I found a couple Jeremia Kelleher and Hanora Riordan Kelleher who had baptisms for two sons Daniel and Cornelius around this time period. Thats as far as I have tracked so far. Can anyone help me with more information? I’m trying to search to see if anyone related to Jeremia or Hanora is still living in the area.
Thanks…Kevin

I am coming to Millstreet in July to visit Millstreet and am hopeful to learn more of my family who had at least seven children born mostly in workhouses around Millstreet. My ancestor was John Sheehan who married Catherine Lucy(Lucey). I am unable to find a marriage record but they had these known children: beginning in 1870 Timothy, Mary, John, cornelius, Daniel, Ellen, and Jeremiah(1879). Daniel and Ellen came to Boston between 1895 and 1902. Daniel married Anne Duggan in Boston – who was from Dublin (parents whom I cannot locate were Edmond Duggan and Mary MacElroy). Ellen married Dennis Quill (also from Ireland) and lived in Brockton, MA near cousins/relatives-Kelliher’s and Quills and Buckleys. I know that Ellen came to the US at age 19 and she is said to have attended St. John’s convent in Drishane and she traveled with a Jeremiah Sheehan who was 47 yrs old. Two of the sheehan brothers are said to have gone to Australia to fight in the Boer War. I would love to meet descendants of the Sheehan family or learn anything more about them. If anyone has a thought or lead, please contact me. thank you very much!!

My family came to Boston from the Millstreet, Cork(workhouses) area around 1895-1902. Ellen Sheehan married Dennis Quill and they lived in Brockton, MA and all around them were relations of Kelliher’s and Quills and Buckleys. I found a Hannah Buckley that was a cousin to Ellen.

Just returned from holiday in Killarney. I have been advised that my family history studies need to broaden geographically from Millstreet to include Meelin, Rockchapel, Brosna,Kanturk, Liscarrol, Rathcool and Banteer.
Visited Newmarket, where my g/great grandfather was born.
I should like to thank all the Roman Catholic priests and parish clerks who make time to help with family history enquiries. It is information that would be difficult to find anywhere else.
It was a very pleasant week and I specially enjoyed all the wild flowers blooming on the roadsides.
Best wishes

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for your message. Does my Catherine, born abt 1857, fit as a child of your grandfather? She moved to the Kilmallock area to find work and married a Patrick Burns in 1879, living in Bruff until her death in 1921.

Does any of this tie in with your Lehane family?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
Lyn

Comment on Duarigle Castle by Geoff

I am a direct descendant of the Justices who owned the mock castle. My great Granddad was Robert Nicholas Justice who either owned it or lived there, and his Dad was Thomas (possibly Thomas Chinnery) Justice who did own it at some point.
