Hi Millstreet,
I am looking for any information on my great grandfather John T. Egan (born 1807). He migrated to London, England and married Elizabeth C. (Egan) who was 34 years younger than he. She was from Southwark, london, England. If any one has any information or can suggest places in or around Millstreet to look, I am coming over to County Cork in September to research. Many thanks, Glenn Egan

I live in Pennsylvania, USA andenjoyed an equestrian vacati originating in Millstreet – probably about 8 years ago or so. It was run out of Green Glen Equestrian Center which was within walking distance of a little downtown area. We stayed for a few days in dorm-type living at teh Center and then trail rode from place to place. We them trail rode from place to place each day and stayed in B & B’s and one hotel. The pictures from Millstreet Equestrian Center don’t seem to be the same place? I did not arrange the trip and ther person who did no longer has contact info. A gentleman named David was our host for the week and young woman named Moira assisted. There is another group of women interested in taking a similar trip. THis was very affordable at the time and great fun. Do you happen to have contact info on this facility or another one that offers similar town-to-town trail trips (not fox-hunting) at an affordable rate. Thanks!

Hi I am keen to locate any descendents of the Linehan Family of Dooneens,
Drishane.
My Grandfather Patrick Linehan born 29th May 1870 son of Cornelius Linehan and Margaret (nee Condon) emigrated to New Zealand in around 1900. The 1901 census records the Linehan family remaining at Dooneens at that time as
Linehan Cornelius 56 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic Co Cork Farmer Read and write E and Irish Married -
Linehan Margaret 60 Female Wife Roman Catholic Co Cork Farmers Wife Read and write E and Irish Married -
Linehan William 30 Male Son Roman Catholic Co Cork Farmers Son Read and write - Not Married -
Linehan Bridget 24 Female Daughter Roman Catholic Co Cork Farmers Daughter Read and write - Not Married -
Linehan Joseph 20 Male Son Roman Catholic Co Cork Farmers Son Read and write - Not Married -
Linehan Michael S 18 Male Son Roman Catholic Co Cork Farmers Son Read and write - Not Married -
Linehan Nellie 17 Female Daughter Roman Catholic
During the recording of my father Joseph Thomas birth details in Napier New Zealand in 1915, the spelling of the surname became Lenihan, not an uncommon occurence I understand back then. However all details on my grandfathers marriage and birth certificate record the surname as Linehan.
Would be very grateful to learn if the Linehans still live in and are farming at Dooneens.
Appreciate ant assistance
Thanks
David.

Been trying to get in touch with you – have thought about the good old days over the years and I may just reach you this time – last time I saw you was in Radio Lakeland I think it was in Taupo – Dave Thomson and I keep in touch, have a photo of all us gang in 1960/61 taken in Rotorua and would be keen to get a reunion of us all if possible – have it in Napier of course.
Have I got through to you and are you THE Dave Lenihan who worked in the Napier Telegraph Office back then.
Appreciate your reply

Hullo, was wondering if there are any photos available of the completed interior of St Patricks Church. Looking at the pics of the recent wedding of Julie and David I noticed how the renovated Church is very similar to my old parish Church in Napier New Zealand, also St Patricks, which was destroyed by fire, in 1982. Sadly it could not be restored to its former glory as it was a large wooden building and completely gutted.The remains were demolished and a completely new Church of modern design replaced it. It doesn’t have the feeling and history of course as the old, which was built in 1894 — a fine building of kauri NZ native wood, of pure Gothic style throughout, and capable of seating about 700 people. It was built at a cost of £3,500. The beautiful stained glass windows were imported from Lyons, and the bell, which weighed half a ton, was cast by the well-known firm at the time of Bourdon and Company, of Napier. The tall elegant spire of old St.Patrick’s was the first object to attract the eye on approaching Napier.
I have searched the web but alas am unable to find a pic of the demolished St Pats to give you a comparison.
Sincerely and best wishes to everyone

Hi David
I am a descendant of Jeremiah Linehan and Mary nee Hickey who immigrated to New Zealand form somewhere in Ireland, married here in 1881, and went on to have 8 children. My grandmother, Hannah, was born in 1887. The family lived I believe initially in Norsewood, the for the most part in Waipukurau both of which are not far south of Napier. I would love to find out more of this family’s history so if you or anyone else could help me patch together information I would be most grateful.

Hullo Rosemary…I have recently completed my families connection to the Linehans in Millstreet, with very happy result.
Afraid I can’t see any connection between our Linehan family tree and anyone named Jeremiah. My Grandfather Patrick Linehan, arrived in Wellington traveled on to Napier by sea, married Mary Monaghan,whose family originated in Gort Galway, in Napier in 1897, where the Surname changed from Linehan to Lenihan, they moved down to Foxton in the Manawatu, had 3 sons, my dad being the youngest and a daughter. They all moved back to Napier in about 1919 after the Great War and stayed there where my Grandmother Mary was killed in the great Napier earthquake of February 1931.
Grandad Patrick then lived with my mum and dad until moving to wellington in 1947 where he passed away in 1949 aged 79. He is buried in the Catholic section of the Karori cemetery.
I found a great help when searching was the Irish census of 1901 and 1911(link below)
you have an excellent start as you have the names of your grandparents.
Im sure if any of the locals know the names you have mentioned they will get back to you, the good people of Millstreet are very friendly and helpful, God Bless them, particularly the Linehans of Dooneens Hi to them all.
Good luck in your search Rosemary, Hope the link helps.

Hi David
Thank you for your prompt reply. The changes of names certainly make tracing ancestors difficult. I suspect that Jeremiah was not actually known as that; rather he was known probably as John. That will be why two of his children have two different records of their birth; they seem to have a father called both Jeremiah and John. What is very frustrating is that only about twenty years ago my father’s cousin did research into the Linehan family with excellent results and actually visited relations back in Ireland. He was an interesting person, whose Christian name escapes me now; he was married for many years and a successful business man involved our national railway. When his wife died about when he retired he trained to be a priest and worked as one for about ten years. It was during his time as a priest that he visited Ireland which no doubt added to his welcome. Life seems to have had phases of great busyness, and so I didn’t get to talk to him about the history he found. The next thing I was at his funeral. While the original NZ family was large they went on to have very few children if any, so the family is very scant now. I will keep on with my endeavors however.
I certainly remember the lovely old church in Napier. We would visit that city about once a year when I was a child. I remember fainting there one Sunday having of course had no breakfast according to fasting restrictions in place at the time. I also remember how freezing it was in the winter time. But such lovely architecture and wood.
Many thanks
Rosemary

Hi, My great-grandmother, Nora (or Hanora) Reardon (or Riordon) was born in Millstreet, Country Cork. She was baptized on 2/17/1873. Her parents were Eugene Reardon & Catherine (Sullivan) Reardon. She emigrated to the U.S. in 1895. We believe she was a passenger on the Teutonic arriving in N.Y. on 5/30/1985. Are there any relatives still living in Millstreet? My sister & I are researching our familty tree, and Nora is the only relative who we have been able to trace back to a particular town so far. If you can help me locate any relatives in the area, we’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

The picture of Killarney Road showing the floral arrangements at the side of the road makes a beautiful wallpaper that I see every time I turn on my computer.
I enjoy the “snippets” about Millstreet and its current residents.
Although my mother had options, she chose to emigrate to New York in 1926. Seeing all of you on this website and how you enjoy your community makes me wonder what my mother’s life (and mine) might have been like had she chosen to remain in Ireland (Knocknagree at the time).
Keep up the good work and have a great day!
