Looking for family members of Catherine Shaughnessy

Hi there,

Could please post your message on the Clonlea parish page here: http://www.irelandxo.com/group/clonlea-clare

There are Roman Catholic church records available for Askeaton (Iveruss). These date from 1829 for both baptismal and marriage records. You can find these at the National Library of Ireland, Pos. 2419, or online on www.familysearch.org If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for more assistance. http://www.askeatonparish.org/home.html

There are Roman Catholic church records available for O'Callaghan's Mills (Clonlea). These date from 1835 for both baptismal and marriage records. You can find these at the National Library of Ireland, Pos. 2476, or the Church of Latter Day Saints, film, 0979694 item 6. If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for more assistance.

Have you tried checking the Ellis Island records (www.ellisisland.org) or the Castle Garden records (www.castlegarden.org)? Generally, more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at, this could be a good place to find more information, and perhaps even find out an exact place of origin.

You could also try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64). Griffith's is freely available here: www.askaboutireland.com or here: www.failteromhat.com Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at. Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38). Microfilm copies of the books for all of Ireland are available at the National Archives of Ireland (NAI) http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/tithe-applotment-books-and-the-primary-griffith-valuation/ or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS).

Other records you could check include:

1838-48 Reproductive Loan Fund records. Administered from Limerick City, for all areas of the city and county. More than 5,000 names. UK National Archives, T 91. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

This is a very useful and interesting website from Clare County Library: http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/genealog.htm

Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.

Kind regards,

Sinead Cooney

Genealogist (Ireland XO)

Hi Jennifer,

Brother John Feheney who actually was born in Ballynacourty townland in Iveruss parish has written a book called The O ' Shaughnesseys of Munster: The people and their stories. There might be something of interest to you in this book. Brother Feheney is a very well respected local genealogist and im sure he would be willing to help you find out where your grandmother came from. His email adress is jmfeheney@iol.ie.

Regards

Paul Anglim

Thank you John O'Connell so much for that information.  I believe that the John Shaughnessy you mentioned is my grandmother's brother.  My uncle (John) did tell me he had an Uncle John that lived in Ireland and was killed in a car accident, I think.  How could I track down some living members of the family?  I would be very interested in getting more info about the relatives in Ireland.  I am planning a visit there next year and would love to meet some of them.

when you come to ireland  in 2014,

fly direct from usa to shannon international airport if that is possible,

it is about 25 mikes from where your ancestors lived.

if you do not have family or friends to stay with in ireland, you could book in to a hotel or a guest house.

i would recomend you stay in (KILLEEN GUEST HOUSE, KILCORNAN CO LIMERICK).

the shaughnessy, birth, marriage & death records for morenane are in (KILCORNAN PARISH CHURCH),

any shaughnessy in ballynacourty ballysteen (iverus) parish, the records  are in askeaton church,

regards john.

john shaughnessy, his wifes maiden name was

catherine (kate) meade, from kildimo co limerick.

i have estimated they married between 1930-35.

the marriages were usually performed in the brides parish.

add kildimo co limerick to your parish list, on ireland reaching out, 

it might jog the memory of some one in that area.
