I am searching for information regarding my great great grandparents, Bartholomew Mahoney, born circa 1805, and Elizabeth Cliggott, born circa 1822. As far as I know they had 6 children: Catherine, born 1848, Mary, born 1850, Daniel, born 1854, Margaret, born 1856, Bartholomew, also born in 1856 and Patrick, born in 1862. I believe Elizabeth's parents were John Cliggott and Abigail Molen. I am certain there are other decendants of this family, but I am unaware of them. I have noticed that the surname Cliggott can be McElliott. Am I mistaken? Also, how would I find what Barthololew did for a living? Thank you for any assistance you are able to give me.

Informant 2:Margaret DoneganSeems to confirm your theory of the interchangeable surname.
The marriage record isn't on roots but the National Library has the R C registers freely availabe at registers.nli.ie/; Mitchellstown marriages start in July 1845 there. www.irishgenealogy.ie/ (Church records) is good for Cork records too
Bartholomew's occupation - this link http://www.failteromhat.com/ has a couple of 1846 Mitchellstown Commercial Directories you could have a look through in case he was a businessman.

Dear Col,
Thank you so very much! Your assistance and guidance is of great help to me. I didn't know about Ellen Mahoney. Also, I think Mary, born in 1846, must have died before 1850, because my great grandmother was also Mary Joseph, born in 1850.
Again, thank you very much,
Margaret
