My 2nd great grandfather, Timothy Neville, emigrated from County Cork, Ireland in 1867. I have records showing that Timothy Neville was born to Timothy and Mary Magrath in 1838 and baptized on 10 Apr 1838 in Killeagh, Cork, Ireland. I would like to learn about resources I can access, to gain a better understanding of my family member's lives in Killeagh, and to possibly locate cousins still living in County Cork.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The 1852 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing does not show a Timothy Neville in Killeagh civil parish. The neighboring civil parish of Ardagh does show a Timothy Neville Sr. and Jr. in Carriganass townland. People in Ardagh civil parish also attended Killeagh RC parish so it is a good possibility that your family was from Carriganass. Now the Timothy Jr. shown in the Griffiths would not be the Timothy born in 1838 but likely his father and the Sr. would be his grandfather.
Looking at the subscription site Roots Ireland, I found baptismal records for two younger brothers of Timothy. See transcriptions below. Roots also had a transcription of the March 3, 1835 marriage record for Timothy Neville and Mary Magrath. See below.
The 1901 census does show four Neville households in Carriganass http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Ardagh/Carriganass/
At the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie I located an 1881 death record for a married Timothy Neville in Carriganass with an informant Mary. Likely your ancestor https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1881/06437/4849649.pdf
This may be the death record for Mary Magrath Neville in 1909 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1909/05458/4527563.pdf
Let me know what questions you have.

Wow! Thank you for the quick reply and for all of the links and additional information! I am so happy to know the town from which my ancestor came. The additional documents are so exciting to see! We had no idea about his brothers!
I can't wait to share this information with my 75 year old father and his brothers and sisters when we all get together in a few weeks!
Thank you again!

Hi Michele
If you email me at anneoneillk@gmail.com i can give you some more information .
There are Nevilles in an 1766 census of Ardagh Parish and some buried in the graveyard at Ardagh but there are no records for that time period to seperate the different families.
I look forward to hearing from you. Anne.

Hi Michele, If you go to google maps and search for Carriganassa Co Cork. you will be able to get a satellite and street view of the surrounding countryside. It should give you an idea of where Timothy Neville lived. I may be connected to you through the Magraths Timothys maternal side. If you wish email me at willmc06@hotmail.com . I may have other pieces of information that would interest you. Regards Will
