I am trying to find more information on my great great grandfather Thomas Mulcahy who was born around 1798 at Pallasgreen Tipperary and died around 1845 to 1855 possibly in the Pallasgreen area. As well as this I would like to find Thomas's parents and family if it is possible. On the 3rd May 1831 Thomas married Ellina Reall of Knockanerow in the Parish of Pallasgreen County Limmerick, Diocese of Cashel and were witnessed by Patrick Riordan and Ellen Mulcahy. The marriage information I received from my cousin was as an Extract from Marriage Register back in 1983. Thomas's wife has different ways of spelling her first name - Allena/Ellena/Ellina/Ellen and her maidename was Reall/Real/Rail and she was born in 1806 at Knockanerough. Her parents were Patrick Reall/Real/Rail born about 1780 in the Limerick area and his wife was Johanne/Johanna/ Tracey or Tracy also born about 1780 in the Limmerick area. Besides their daughter they also had a son, James, born about 1812. Thomas and his wife had 4 children. The first 3, Patrick [1832], James [1833] and Ellen [1837] were presumably baptised at Pallasgreen. The 4th child John [1842] was apparently baptised at Golden. I come from the line of James. I don't know where Thomas is buried. Ellen, Thomas's daughter sailed from Southhampton on 20th March 1854 on board the "City of Manchester" for Australia. Ellena/Ellen sailed on the "Saldanah" on 28th July 1857 from Liverpool for Australia with her son James. To put together this information records were looked at the Titles Office, Public Records Office, Births Deaths and Marriages in Melbourne, Australia. Also in Ireland, the records of the parich churches of Pallasgreen [at Nicker], Kilteely and Golden [now held in Thomastown] were consulted as were the Births Deaths and Marriages at Dublin Castle, at Clonmel and at Cahir. This is about as much I have regarding Thomas and Ellena in Ireland.
