  • Dear Tim

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out! RC records for Murragh begin in 1834.

    Have you looked on www.rootsireland.ie (a subscription site) where there are some baptism records for children born to a Timothy Corcoran: John, 1848, Johanna, 1846, Margaret, 1845? It might be a good idea to have a look at these so that you can rule them in or out. As this is a subscription site I am limited in what I can see.

    There are four Timothy Corcoran marriages on this site also, but based on the dates I don?t see which is relevant to your search: 1785, 1814, 1860, 1863. It would also be difficult to know as we do not have Timothy's wife's pre-marriage name or her parish of origin - they would have married in her home parish.

    You should also check www.irishgenealogy.ie as the rootsireland site does not have all of the transcriptions of the Cork records.

    There are 23 Timothy Corcoran entries on the Griffith?s Valuation (1847-1864):
