Hello, I am searching for birth and death records and marriage record of my 3x great-grandparents, PATRICK STACK (b: Abt 1796 in Dromin, Craughatoosane, Kerry; d: POSSIBLY 11 May 1874, Tralee);  and his wife JOHANNA CARROLL (b: Abt 1798  d: Unknown), as well as my 2xGGparents, Michael Stack (b: 1830) and his wife Margaret Donohough (b: Abt 1840)

Patrick and Johanna had six children. I have baptismal records for each of them:

Catharina Stack (b 12 Aug 1817, Dromin; d: Mar 1880, Listowel  (sponsors: Wm Stack & Brigid McCormack)

Thomas Stack (b: 14 Mar 1823 Dromin, Listowel  d: 8 Oct 1882 Kilcolman, Listowel)

John Stack (b: 27 Mar 1825; Dromin, Listowel; d: 24 Sep 1904, Listowel)  married to Mary O'Leary

Patrick Stack (b. 27 Mar 1826, Curraghtousane, Kerry; d: POSSIBLY 19 Jun 1903, Tralee Workhouse? Not confirmed

Maurice Stack (b: 24 Sep 1827, Listowel; d: 14 Aug 1888, 39 Gratten St, Cork)  - married to Honora Rahilly (b: Jan 1834 Ballydehob;  d: 25 Apr 1902, Cork)

Michael Stack (b: 20 Sep 1830, Ballylongford, Lislaughton, Listowel - BIRTH & BAPTISMAL RECORDs ATTACHED;  d: UNKNOWN (my 2xGGF). Michael Stack is my 2xGGF who married Margaret Donohough (b: Abt 1840, Kerry; d: unknown). 

Michael and Margaret married on 12 Feb 1861, Ballybunion, Kerry)  MARRIAGE RECORD ATTACHED 

Michael and Margaret had 5 children:

Patrick (Infant) (b: 1864 d: 1864)

John Stack (b: 2 Dec 1866 Ballylongford, Kerry)  d: 30 Aug 1938, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (THIS IS MY Great-grandfather) BIRTH and DEATH RECORDs ATTACHED (death cert mis-states his DOB as year 1870; it was 1866).

Michael (b: 2 March 1871, Ballylongford, Listowel;  d: UNKNOWN)

Johanna Stack (b: 25 Jun 1873, Ballylonogford, Lisloughtin, Kerry; d: 18 Jul 1946, Butler County, Pennsylvania USA)

Margaret Stack (b: 01 Oct 1875, Lisloughlan, Kerry; d:  UNKNOWN)

Family oral history indicates we are related to the "Keane-Stacks of Listowel", but I have not been able to determine why this is as I found no Keane's so far in my tree. 

I am hopiing that you can identify the birth and death records and parents and possibly siblings of Patrick Stack and Johanna Carroll as noted above, as this would provide a lot of new avenues of research for me, and possibly answer a few mysteries!

As you know, there are many Stacks in the Listowel area and I have come up to a brick wall on this issue!

Thank you so much providing such a helpful and generous service. If you need any further information, please let me know.

  • In the first record attached here, it shows the witness was Joseph Kane.  That's pretty close to Keane.  Perhaps you might research Joseph.

  • My family, the Stundons, hail from Causeway, Co Kerry. I can remember my father talking about a John Stack.

    I've had to curtail my research for a while because of increasingly poor eyesight (cataracts) but I'm pretty certain that we have Stacks in our family history with Johanna Stack (Carroll) being one of them .

    This was sort of borne out by John Carroll who lived near us in South Wales. He always said that we were related.

    I hope this might be of some help.
