It was wonderful to meet her and her husband after all the years of being told about the irish half of my family. My family are the Fox's, based mostly in Milford. My Grandad was a blacksmith so i'm told and loved Hurling. Any info would be great! Hi there,

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 th 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. Greetings from Stamford, Conn. USA!

I don't have anyone to check with regarding the location--all I have is my memory of things deceased relatives have told me. Carrigtwohill may be where they lived and had some connection to Millstreet. Maybe they had desires to be form there, or were exaggerating their status. I do not know. But if you have found this family then pl;ease tell me how I can get the source data for my family search. Birth certificates, marriage license(s), or other official records would be most helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If you are reasonably certain that you have found this family then…WOOPIE!!
