Parish Name

I am looking for any information about my ancestors, Jeremiah Lynch (my great great grandfather), who I believe ws born on November 5, 1854, in Castletownroche Parich, Templenoe., and his wife, Mary Kelleher (my great great grandmother), who I understand was born in 1848 in Coolea/Ballyvorney.  I believe their daughter Margaret Theresa Lynch who was born on November 24, 1898 in Brockton, MA was my great grandmother.  I have read that Jeremiah Lynch was either the son of Cornelius Lynch or Jeremiah Lynch and Mary Gay/Gaye/Gayney.

My ancestors emigrated to Massachusetts.  I now reside in NJ with my husband and three daughters.  My daughter Colleen will be studying at University College Cork in the spring and we are now planning a trip to Ireland over Easter.  I would love to learn more about our Irish ancestors.  I believe we will be spending time in Cork, Killarney, Cong, and Dublin.

Any information you have about the Lynch or Kelleher ancestors would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dawn Shea Petillo
