Hi there,
I am looking for more information about William Corboy's parents Jeremiah Corboy and Honora Donoghue.
William Corboy was
- Born 1838-1840 presumably in Tipperary (NZBDM says age at death was 44 but grave says 42 years)
- Baptised 6 Feb 1839 in Tipperary (baptism record)
- Immigrated to New Zealand in 1866 (newspaper article)
- Married Mary Donovan 31 May 1870 in Onehunga, New Zealand (NZBDM/wedding announcement)
- Died 4 Dec 1882 Kihikihi, New Zealand (obituary/grave)
I am looking for more information about his parents Jeremiah Corboy (connected the dots through his eldest son's obituary Patrick) and Honora Donoghue (identified through Jeremiah's death certificate).
Jeremiah Corboy
- Born abt. 1812 in Tipperary (death certificate)
- Married Honora Donoghue 21 Feb 1832 when he was 19 in Tipperary (marriage record/death certificate)
- Immigrated to New Zealand abt. 1877 (death certificate says he was in New Zealand 6 years)
- Died 2 Jun 1883 in Kihikihi, New Zealand (death certificate / obituary)
- Parents were William Corboy and Mary Ryan
Honora Donoghue
- Married Jeremiah 21 Feb 1832 in Tipperary (marriage record/Jeremiah's death certificate)

Alanna,
Subscription site www.rootsireland.ie has a record of a marriage ofJeremiah Corby and Honora Donohoe in Terryglass 1832. Witnesses: James Hogan and Lidia Holbert. Parents names not shown.
No record found for the marriage of William Corboy and Mary Ryan, or any siblings for Jeremiah.
Attached Tithe Records for a William Corboy in Ballyscanlan in 1824.
The surnames "Corboy and Corby" are recorded in North Tipperary and a number of marriages for a William Corboy, but none with the spouse as "Mary Ryan".
Regards,
McCoy

Hi McCoy,
Thanks for this. I already had the baptism record for William Corboy and marriage record for Jeremiah and Honora but the rest of the information is new to me.
