I am researching the family of Cornelius Collins and Mary Ryan Collins. I have church baptism records for Johanna Collins (baptized 27, Feb, 1826), Cornelius Collins (baptized 29 Apr, 1830), Margaret Collins (baptized 26 Aug 1832) and Mary Collins (baptized 12 Apr 1835). I would like to attempt to find more information about where the family may have lived and when the older Cornelius and Mary died. I am traveling to Ireland in October with my husband and 2 grown children. We would love to be able to see where my family came from. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me.

Dear Leslie
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Have you had a look on the NLI website to see if you can see their marriage record for Cornelius? Parish records for parishes in the Diocese of Cashel and Emly are only searchable in the Tipperary Family History Centre but you can see the originals (unindexed) on the following site www.registers.nli.ie. Find My Past and Ancestry have recently compiled an index so you may find it quite easily on either of their sites.
There is a record of a Cornelius Collins in the Griffith's Valuation who leased land at the townland of Cloghaready, Templebredon. If you can manage to get to the Valuation Office in Dublin on your trip you could try to find out who leased the land up to the 1950s/60s and possibly still own it: http://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/news/ireland-xo-insight-griffiths-v…
It seems that the following are the long lat co-ordinates for the townland: Lat 52.495231 Long -8.343620
Hope this helps

Clare,
Thank you so much for researching this. I have located a marriage record for Cornelius and Mary Ryan. They were married on 2 Feb 1822 in Murroe & Boher. When I search Griffith's for Cornelius Collins in Cloghaready, Templebredon I get nothing. I wonder if I am searching incorrectly. If it is possible for you to send me a link I would truly appreciate it.. Thanks again!
