Hi
I am researching my great great grandfather/mother - Daniel McCarthy (16/6/1834-22/6/1914) & Alice Culhane (?-12/9/1897) of Pullagh, Croom.
I've been unable to locate Alice's birth records or their marriage records. In addition as I hope to visit Croom shortly and wonder is there any way of finding what graveyard they may be buried in?
Also it appears they had a son Patrick McCarthy (DOB 8/10/1879) who may have become priest/christian brother but I'm not sure where I could confirm this.
Any assistance or advice would be gratefully received.
Regards.
Damian

According to rootsireland, Daniel and Alice married in the Catholic parish of Croom, Co. Limerick, on 5 Sept. 1858. Witnesses: Patrick McCarthy and Margaret Costelloe.
See marriage register here: https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634977#page/1/mode/1up
There are eight children shown on rootsireland for this couple.
I hope this is helpful.

Hi Damien,
I am the Croom volunter. I have taken a search for some of the details that you have asked for. The marriage has already been located for you. The next thing you asked about is their burial place. I believe this to be Anhid Graveyard which is situated aprox 3 km outside of Croom on the main Cork Road and 3km from Pullagh . The link below should take you to www.HistoricGraves.com.

Here you will find this inscription
Name:
Alice
Surname:
McCarthy
Date of death - day:
12
Date of death - month:
September
Date of death - year:
1857
Age:
63
Given that your Alice died 12 Sept 1897 and this Alice is listed as 12 Sept 1857, I think that there is a transcribtion error and this is your Alice.
I will try and found out about her son for you. just give me a day or so.

Just wanted to say thanks for your help and that I have also been in contact with the Croom Parish Liasion who has provided me with a substantial amount of background information also.
Thank you all.
