Searching for family

I have emailed the parish contact person in Kilcolman to check on any marriage info for Jeremiah Nolan and Mary Mahoney. I also asked her to check for info regarding Jeremiah's birth - names of parents, date, etc.

Hopefully I will have an answer early next week.

A gentle suggestion, Dale - a more specific Subject Title will get you better replies. We are all "searching for family." A better title would be "Jeremiah Nolan marr Kilcolman 1870." Or "Marriage: Jer. Nolan/Mary Mahoney 1870 Kilcolman." Your subject title is what is going to hook someone in to help you. They will say to themselves, "I know of a Jer. Nolan in Kilcolman. . ." Unfortunately, many people just delete messages with vague subject titles. . .

Hi Dale,

I rec'd this reply from the IrelandXO team in Kilcolman. I hope this info is helpful.

I got a chance to look at the records today and the following are the only enteries in regards to Jerm Nolan for around the date you gave me:

Marriage Record

1870/02/01      

Groom: Nolan Jemh     

Bride:  Mariam Mahoney 

Witness’s:  John Dealy and Thos Mulqueen

~~~~~~~~~~

Baptismal Record

1862/09/07     

Baby: Nolan Jemh 

Parents:  Jemh Nolan/Jannett Taylor  

Witnesses:   Richard Taylor and Ellen Taylor.

As you can see the date of the baptismal record does not match the person in the marriage record but the above are the only Jemh I can see on the records are the above entries. 

~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope it's of some help.

Regards,

Patti

Thanks a lot for the info Patti. The dates for the wedding match with what I have so that is really great. I will be in Ireland in April and will visit Co Limerick and Kilcolmon and Shangolden parishes just to get the feel of where the family came from..

Thank you once again for taking the time to look for me.

Hi Dale,

You might want to check in with Ann Dore at the Kilcolman Church.Chriss Dundan is the parish administrator for Shanagolden. Chriss might know someone locally that you could talk to. You can email her at: cadundon59@hotmail.com

I hope you have a wonderful trip to Ireland. I don't know how it could not be!

Best wishes,
