Catherine O'Dwyer/Dwyer, 10th child of Patrick O'Dwyer and Johanna Ryan, was baptized April 1, 1836, Pallasgreen.  It is believed that she married Michael Purcell.  The only Michael Purcell I have found was baptized Oct 2, 1837, Castle Farm, Hospital and a possible death in 1905, Limerick.  Parents: Michael Purcell & Margaret ____?

Research to date has not found a marriage for this couple in the townlands in and around Pallasgreen or any children.  I have been able to research all of Patrick & Johanna's children from 1811 to 1836, including spouses & children, with the exception of Catherine's marriage.

Thank you

  • Greetings from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, USA,

    I have a Joanna Purcell as a godparent of Julia Rahilly (my grandfather's sister).  It appears in Sologhead RC parish on August 12, 1861.  The Rahilly's resided in the Newtown, Templebredon.  At this point I don't know anything about Joanna or what her connection was with Julia's parents - Patrick Rahilly/Mary Sugrue (my great grandparents).

    Regards,

    Kevin Reilly

  • Kevnin, did I know you had Purcells from the Solohead area?  We have Purcells from Emly just down the road from Oola in Solohead. Marilyn, I have a Pallasgraen McGrath/Dwyer cousin who will be writing to you.

  • creal....that's wonderful!  To add to my first post regarding Purcell's, I found that Michael Purcell and Margaret Morony/Malony also had a daughter Biddy Purcell in 1836 and James Purcell in 1840.  In 1841 a John Purcel & Ally Magrath had a son James.

    I look forward to hearing from your Magrath/McGrath cousin, thank you.

    Kevin, I'm sorry, but to date I don't have any Rahilly (Real) in the families I am researching, nor a Joanna Purcell, although while searching in the Townland "Hospital" on   http://registers.nli.ie/   there were many Real baptisms and marriages.

    It has been a month today and I still have not heard from your McGrath/Dwyer cousin from Pallasgreen whom you said would be writing to me.  I still hope they will make a connection, thanks
