Hi.

Searching for descendants of (and information) on Cornelius Donoghue & Honora Looney of Ballincollig. They were married in Aghabullogue, Macroom, Cork, on 8 Nov 1873 and raised 7 children in Ballincollig. James, John, Honora, Mary, Cornelius, Jeremiah, Johanna.

Con was born (in Ballincollig, I think) circa 1843 to Daniel Donoghue and he died in Ballincollig on Apr 13 1915.

Honora (Nora) was born circa 1841 (assuming the Macroom area) to John Looney and died in Ballincollig circa 1898.

It seems 2 of the children might have immigrated to The U.S.: Mary and Jeremiah. Mary married a Eugene Reardon and they raised 5 children in Somerville, Middlesex, Massachusetts.

Be great to hear from anyone who thinks they might be related.

Regards,

Seamus O'Donoghue.

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    As a starting point you could check the 1901/1911 Census and work your way back from there, depending on what info you get:
