Long // Leary

Barbara:

The church records for the RC parish of Iveleary/Inchigeelagh start in November 1816   https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0062  so there would be no baptismal records available for James or Margaret assuming they were baptized in that parish.

I looked on the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie and saw the baptismal reocrds for the five children you listed. I also saw an additional record for a Patrick Long baptized March 1 1821 in Iveleary.

You had indicated that James and Margaret married in 1827 but both Margaret and Patrick were born before 1827 so likely the marriage was in 1819-1820 and maybe in a different parish than Iveleary.

The record for Mary in 1839 shows the family was living in Teeranassig townland in Inchigeelagh civil parish.

Roger,

Thank you,  I will keep searching for James' family -
Patrick 1821 is another of Margaret and James children

you are correct Mgt and James did marry in 1820 - I have no idea where I came up with the 7, maybe I should quit doing genealogy at 0300!

I appreciate your help & thanks for the websites
Stay Well
Barbara

Hello!

I am another Barbara looking for James LONG , but I have his wife as Mary LEARY.  Is it possible that Mary and Margaret could be used interchangeably?  I've seen either Mary or Margaret, but not both together.  Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Barbara,

I'm not 100% certain, but "Mary" Leary & James Long had a child Margaret in Feb 1841  -----

Also, see Roger's notes above.

-  it fits with our  Margaret E Leary / James Long /  and Margaret Long (1841 --) our GG-grandmother and the -- Long/ Leary/ Kirkpatrick/ Forrest  -- history we have

My sister did a lot of the research by hand years ago asking questions of our mother (Marian Forrest 1924 - 2015) and our grandfather (John E F  Forrest 1902-1986)

Also - maybe a far stretch,  but the abbreviation for Margaret  is "Margt"  depending on the hand-writing it could have been construed as Mary

I will send this note to my sister Linda & see if she has anything else to offer

Good luck hunting, I'm willing to share whatever I have  -- which  I think is correct

Barbara,

I managed to mess up the Margarets

    Margaret E  LEARY (1800 Inchigeelagh, Cork) &  James LONG (1796 Castelyons, Cork)    were in married 1820;

         daughter  Margaret LONG (1825 Inchigeelagh, Cork)  &   Joseph KIRKPATRICK (c. 1825)   were married c. 1840;  they moved to Donegal (Web:  Ireland,  Census Search Form 1841-1851)

                         daughter  Margaret (Lizzie  or Maggie) KIRKPATRICK  (1841) came to Philadelphia PA in 1858;   married  John FORREST (1848- possibly from Donegal - 1898 Philadelphia)

Sorry about the mix-up

Barbara
