Gleeson/Gleason Tipperary

Hi Geri . . 

Welcome to . . .  Ireland Reaching Out . . . and to County Tipperary . . 

In searching for Michael Gleeson   ( on Roots paid ) ... born between 1809 and 1819 . . 

I found only one entry for THURLES . . . 

Michael .. Baptised 8 May 1812 . . 

Son of John Gleeson and Judith Sheehan . . . 

witnesses . . . Michael Gleeson . . .and  . . Alice Sheehan . . 

___________________________________________________________________

Next . . I searched for a Marriage . . of these two names . . and found . . 

8.Feb. 1836 . . in CLOUGHJORDAN Church 

Michael marriage to Bridget Darcy . . . 

there were no witnesses recorded . . . 

( I presume .. this may have been Bridget's .. home Church . . i.e. Cloughjordan

_____________________________________________________

I failed to find a Baptism for a Bridget Darcy . . . in the Tipperary region . . around that time period . . .

_________________________________________________________________

Alice Sheehan  . . born approx. 1790 . . . search . . . NO records

___________________________________________________

Marriage of John Gleeson ... Marriage .. . to  Alice Sheehan . . . cirrca 1810 +/- 5 yrs. .. . . Nothing

___________________________________________________________

So Geri . . . that's the best I could do for you . . .
continue your search . . .

Cheers . . Eamonn.

Eamonn,

Thank you so much for this. It is very helpful!

I have been trying to locate my Gleeson relatives in and around Nenagh and came across your post.  I knew I had seen Gleesons and D'Arcys somewhere.

Record Transcription: Ireland Roman Catholic Parish Baptisms | findmypast.ie

Patrick Gleeson son of Patrick Gleeson and Biddy Darcey.  Baptised 26 Feb 1842, Bushfield, Ballina, Tipperary.  One of the sponsors was a John Darcey.

I've also noted a Michael Gleeson and Kitty Darcey marriage too, which happens to be the record I was most interested in.  I hope this may help.

Hi Cailin,  thanks for looking into this . Is it possible that Kitty and Biddy could be the same person ? I am sure that Michael Gleeson/Gleason is my ancestor. Married to Bridget Darcy/Dorsey. They did end up moving to America. 
These connections are really helpful .

thank you ,Geri 

There seems to be some slight differences in the names.  Either they are interchangably using middle names or they are related (I have found this quite a few times).

There is a baptism for a Biddy Gleeson, 29 Jun 1844 Bushfield, ballina.  The parents are listed as Patrick Gleeson and Mary Darcey?? Record Transcription: Ireland Roman Catholic Parish Baptisms | findmypast.ie

I have found a Michael Gleeson and Mary Darcey marriage in Nenagh18 Feb 1822, witness Martin Darcey Record Transcription: Ireland Roman Catholic Parish Marriages | findmypast.ie too.

There is a marriage record for a Patrick Gleeson and a Catherine Darcy, in Youghalarra, Tipperary 1826 (near to both Nenagh and Ballina).  Patrick is listed as living in Boher and Catherine in Barbaha Parish of Youghal.

I would say the marriage alreay suggested in Cloughjordan is the best contender though.

Cailin

Hi Cailin,

I appreciate this info. So many connections. I do agree that the marriage in Cloughjordan is the best contender , at this point. They did have a son , Hugh , who was born in Ireland . The rest of the children were born in Wilson, New York. I have found a few Hugh Gleesons in Tipperary, but no actual birth documentation. Still looking.
Thank you for your help.
