Moynihan - Greeley (Kinealy?)

J O'Brien:

Welcome to ireland Reaching Out!

Is it possible that Ellen was also a Margaret? Found the 1858 marriage below. Maybe it was a different couple but Humphrey is unusual. I did find the following sibling baptismal record in Millstreet: Mary 11/25/1858 (three months after the marriage) Daniel 7/8/1860 Ellen 2/17/1862  (died young?) Ellen 2/5/1865 Johanna 4/28/1867

I'm drawing a blank on the other side. Just to confirm--Bridget Greeley daughter of John Greeley and Bridget Burke? The RC parish may be Macroom?

Hi Roger,

Thank you so much for taking the time to help. Regarding Humphrey and Ellen/Margaret, this is very interesting. The only record I have at present is of the son William's marriage in US, where he lists father as Humphrey and mother as Ellen..however, the dates are right, so I think it needs more investigation. Where did you find the records?

Regarding Bridget Greely, father was John Greely and mother Bridget. I have found a John Greely, b. 1834, who emigrated to US in 1866 and lists his birthplace as County Cork. The following info in Tithe Appt. book may be relevant to John's father(?):

Re: Bridget Greely's mother, I do not have a last name yet. A Bridget Burke married a John Kenealy in Cork in Aug. 27, 1859, but the difference between Greely and Kenealy may be too great.

Thank you so much for your kind attention. I really appreciate it. -JoAnne

JoAnne:

www.irishgenealogy.ie is a free Irish governement site which has Co. Kerry church records and part of the church records for Co. Cork (parishes in the Diocese of Cork and Ross). I found the records on that site.

Regarding the Tithe record, I only saw a record for a John Greehy rather than Greely.
