I’m looking for any information about Thomas Roche and Nora Leahy, they lived in Ballyhooly. I have found baptism records for William Roche 1822, Ellen 1824, John and Norry, twins 1830, Margaret 1838. Three daughter Ellen married John Sheehan, they lived in Maine, U.S. Ellen died in Limestone, Aroostook, Maine and was buried in Grand Falls, Victoria, New Brunswick, Canada. 

 

Thank you

Patty Brown nee Roach

  • Hi Patty,

    The marriage record is on rootsireland.ie/ but doesn't have much info!:

    Date of Marriage:14-Feb-1819
    Parish / District:CASTLETOWNROCHE
    County:Co. Cork
    Husband
    WifeName:ThomasRoch
    HonoraLeahyAddress:
    BallyhoolyDenomination:Roman Catholic
    Roman Catholic

    The Irish Census of 1821 (free online) doesn't have Cork records!

    The Tithe Applotments (free online titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/  which have 342 Roches in Cork but only this one in Castletown

    RocheJamesCastletownCastletownrocheCork - no year given but most were 1825-34; there are also 10 Thomases

    www.irishgenealogy.ie/ (select church records) is good for Cork records if you haven't already tried there.

    I suspect you've tried there but the Natnl Library has the R C registers free to search and has Castletownroche baptisms & marriages from 1811

    Was Castletownroche named after the Roches I wonder?

    ColCaff, thank you so much! So there must be different records at roofsireland.ie? Did you have to pay to search for this record? I was using Find My Past and I do know about the National Library records. Yes, Castletownroche gets its name from the Roche family. 

    I’m also looking for a son named Patrick Roche
