HI Claire,

There is also this page https://www.facebook.com/BruffCommunityPage/

Great story, I read it on your blog. Hopefully you will find out more.

Best of luck

Thank you very much for your reply. I'll get on to the Facebook pages.

Since I posted this, I now believe the family went to America.

In case other people are interested in reading, I've put the details up on my blog:

I have been able to identify some of the family in the US census and death records.

Hi Claire

I am seeking information on this family too!

Hi John,

You can contact me through my website: www.cbgenealogy.ie - let's have a chat.

Thanks,

Claire

John Duhig  

My Grandfather,  also John Duhig , was a farmer in Ballingirlough Bruff and died approx 1953. The farm is still held by Bridget, my first cousin..

I think he was born in Bruff about 1861 and that he had a pub in Bruff early 1900's  My father Joseph was born  in 1898  also in Bruff   and went to CBS  and eventually Mungret school in Limerick.. He ended up in the IRA and joined the Irish army after the Troubles. 

The family grave is in the Bruff  parish grounds  and my grandfather is buried  there. My father ,some 30 years ago took me to a graveyard just outside Bruff here he showed me a little vault which he said had my relatives  in the early 1800's The  gate was broken down and there were bones scattered around. My son Niall [also anIrish citizen] helped me to put it back.   I have been trying to find this vault again recently and searched 2 graveyards on the road frm Bruff to Croom but no luck. I believe my father mentioned Camass but could not find a graveyard in that location. I know that there are other Duhig families  in Bruff but apart from one located in Ballinastona  Kilmallock [ from my father's brother Matt }  I dont know if any are related. Can you fill in the gaps?

Hi Claire

I sent you a friend request and a DM on Facebook.

There are Duhigs buried in Tullybrackey cemetery which is just outside Bruff

John, if this helps, here is a link to St Molon graveyard, Tullabracky on historicgraves.com:

https://historicgraves.com/graveyard/st-molon/li-smtu

Duhig or Duhigg in St Molon graveyard:

- John Duhigg of Bagistown d 1776

- John Duhig of Bruff late of Dromin d 1865

- John Duhigg, Limerick grocer d 1849, erected by his sister Mrs. Malone of Limerick

The above graveyard borders "Tullybrackey House," where my Moloney and Kirby ancestors lived and still owned by my Kirby cousin. The graveyard is a couple of miles northeast of Bruff town, with a left turn off the R512 road (not on the Lough Our side).

Tithe 1833 lists Patrick Duhigg and Martin Duhigg living in Tullabracky townland 

Griffiths Valuation in mid-1800s does not list any Duhiggs or Duhigs in Tullabracky townland, so they may have emigrated.

Hope this helps!

My apologies.  Should have read " ... St Molon graveyard, Tullabracky is a couple of miles northWEST of Bruff town ..."  (not northeast).  This would be if you're headed on the R512 toward Limerick city.

There is a M. Tubbs listed in Tithe Applotment Books 1833 as being in Crawford Street in Bruff

Yes, I've seen that. I think his name was Michael, based on other research.

You never replied to my messages on Facebook.

Hi Claire

I did dm you the above information. I am nor a frequent user of FB.

Greetings All,

Like the others, I am trying to trace the Tubbs line from Ireland.  I am a descendant of the Irish Tubbs'.  I have Michael Tubbs (Jan 1826- Jul 1906) born in Dublin.  He married Catherine (Ann) Lindsay (Aug 1830 - Jan 1908).  She was born in Ireland.  They married 11 Apr 1847 at St Mary, Lambeth, Surrey, England and immigrated to America in 1851; settling in Lima, New York.  They are my great grandparents.  All of their children were born in Lima.

Catherine's parents I believe to be Robert Lindsay (1797-1882) and Katharine Wright (1771-) both born in Scotland.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob - have you done any DNA testing? Would be interesting to see if we have a match.

Hi Claire,

Yes, I've done an Ancestry DNA test.  I've also uploaded to Genmatch.  You?

Yes, on Ancestry. You can contact me via my website if you prefer to chat off the boards: www.cbgenealogy.ie

Have removed my kits from Gedmatch in light all the recent changes.

All very interesting and like the Gubbins Family from Dromin some of them are still in Peru.
