Hello and thank you in advance for your help.  I am trying to locate where my ancestors (McAuliffe and Murphy surnames) originated in Ireland.  I have pretty solid information that suggests baptisms in a combination of Castleisland, Boherbue, and Kanturk.  

I have learned that the baptism records of one relative that stated he was from Cork County and his baptism records were lost in a church fire that occurred sometime between 1840 and 1890.  Are there any known church fires in this timeframe in this region?  I believe that information would allow be to confirm his place of baptism to a reasonable degree of confidence.

    Can you provide the names and approximate year of births for your ancestors? Also, provide names of parents if available. Lets see if records are available before we look for church fires. Thanks!
