Tyrrell

Hello Cathy

Ideally some parental details would assist in identifying the correct Ellen.

Bearhaven is in the Catholic Parish of Castletown/Castletownbere,  records of which can be seen at http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/  . Initial searches however do not indicate any returns. There was a return for an Ellen Tyrrell with a date similar to the date you provided in the neighbouring parish of Allihies – see link

Using the information obtained a further baptism for a brother Eugene was also found

Hello Cathy

We are in the wrong parish here and I'm not sure that I will be able to provide you with too much information.  After reading the following you may care to email me at bearagenealogy@gmail.com:-

Eugene Tyrrell & Mary Leahy

(Coominches)

Eugene (brother of Edward Tyrrell, married to Mary Waters, who moved from Cluin to Billerough) was said to have been a native of Arklow, Co. Wicklow . Children: Edward (Mar. 1854), Mary (horn in Kealogue, Mar. 1856), Denis (born in Kealogue, Mar. 1859). Regarding Edward and Denis: one went to New York, the other to Boston; Ellen (born in Cluin, Feb. 1861) immigrated to Ironwood, Michigan, at the age of 16 and married Simeon Roy (born in Canada), a Teamster who was living in Salon, Wisconsin, son of Joseph and Josephine Roy. Ellen, who handed on a beautiful old Irish wish “May the winds of poverty never blow the blanket off your head,” was grandmother of Robert Jefferies, 249 East 63rd Ave., Vancouver, British Columbia V5X 2J8, Canada; Thomas (born in Cluin, Feb. 1863), Eugene (born in Cluin, Feb. 1865), and Julia (Apr. 1869).

I cannot work out any connection between the Patrick Walsh & Marg. Lowney PDF and the thread that it has been posted under.  Nevertheless it is a very interesting story and I have extracted the details contained therein into my Beara database.  Many thanks.
