Andrew Twohig (born & baptized Schull West) and Maria (Houlihan) Twohig (born & baptized Killoveenoge) of Maulnaskehy, Rossnacaheragh

Hi Maria,

I've forwarded your request to a volunteer who may be able to assist or advise you.

All the best.

Hi

     I am related to the Arundel's you mention in your post , how can I help?

Tony

Hi Tony,

I have made some progress on the Sullivan & Whalen end of things! A couple of weeks ago while looking for a baptism record for some Gibbons I’m related to in the same area as the Arundel’s I discovered the online parish records for my great, great grandparents Andrew Twohig (Sullivan) and Mary Houlihan (Whelan).  I need to update the message above to read Twohig and Houlihan & will get to it shortly! My great, great, great grandparents were Timothy Twohig and Catherine Sullivan married 6 June 1831 Schull West (Goleen) and their children were Andrew, John, Mary, Timothy, Catherine and Patrick if my research is right!   

I am the great, granddaughter of Andrew and Mary’s daughter Mary (Twohig) Dacey and my 2nd cousin James McCaffrey is the great, grandson of their daughter Julia (Twohig) Shunney. James sent me a copy of a letter his great, grandmother Julia received from her cousin Mrs. Harry Arundel who is newly married (2 years)  at the time the letter was written 26 Oct 1926. The information I’m looking for related to the Arundel’s has to do with the identity of the letter writer who addresses my great, great Aunt Julia as “My Most Loving Cousin Julia” they were apparently very close to one another; however, she signs the letter as Mrs. Harry Arundel which doesn’t give much information as to her identity such as a first name would. Mrs Harry Arundel also says that her husband is an “Arundel boy next door” and that Julia’s mother new his father well “Dade Arundel” so the cousin is very near to home. I’m hoping to discover the identity of the writer because we would like to know if she is a cousin from the Twohig side of the family or the Houlihan side of the family.  At the bottom of the letter shows what my cousin has done to locate information on the Arundel’s and the identy of Mrs. Harry Arundel, also you we see the confusion regarding how she is related to the Twohigs and or Houlihan’s.

I’ve attached a copy of the letter for you to read any information you can give will be appreciated!

Thanks!   Maria

Hi Marie

               Mrs Harry Arundel is my Dad's sister Kate Twohig. Do you have a copy of the origional letter? . I have built a family tree on MyHeritage.com you are welcome to have a look if you want.

Hi Tony,

I’ll definitely look at your tree; since I just found a NEW Twohig branch for my family tree which is on ancestry.com. If you are interested in viewing my tree all I need is your email and I can send you an invite to the tree on ancestry.com. 

Just so I have some idea of where your Twohigs fit on the family tree; are you related to Timothy Twohig and Catherine Sullivan’s children or are you related to one of great, great, great grandpa Timothy Twohig’s siblings? 

I let my cousin Jim know you would like a copy of the original letter without all the extra stuff on the bottom. I’ll get it to you as soon as he emails it to me!

Maria 

Hi Marie

               I am not sure about the relationship at the moment , it sounds like a relation of John Twohig.

               My email address is tonydurras@gmail.com if you could give me yours I can do likewise.

Tony

Hi Tony,

My email address is msbonbon65@hotmail.com

I believe my great, great grandfather Andrew Twohig’s brother John Twohig Schull West (Goleen) 1834 married a Mary O’Donovan or Donovan the name is shown both ways depending on the documentation you are looking at i.e. marriage record or birth record. I have their children as Andrew, Denis, Timothy, Patrick, Peter, and Jeremiah does this sound right to you?

Maria

Hi Maria

               That sounds right to me . Where did the Goleen conection come from?
