My great x 4 grandparents, Roger, O'Donnell (1750-1824) and his wife Johanna O'Donnell nee Cicinor/ Crihenner/Cremor?( 1760-1815) hail from Anglesborough/ Galbally Co. Limerick/ Tipperary border area .
Which of Johanna's surnames is correct, I know not.
All I know about her parentage is that her father is Roger Cicinor/ Crihenner/Cremor (1715, Bansha, Tipperary-?) and I have no info about Roger's parentage.
Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Tim:
Church records for Galbally parish stop in 1810 so no way to find any records for Johanna. Looking at the surnames in the Tithes and the Griffiths for Galbally civil parish https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/limerick/galbally.htm and the possible surnames to consider are Corkran, Cronin, Crimmins and possibly Conroy.

Cheers , Roger. I'll throw this out there to my distant cousins who are working on six generation history of our branches of the O'Donnell clan in Tipperary /Limerick / Cork border areas and see what surnames they've managed to find and have corroborated ! TM

Dear Tim
Mrs Sweeney residing in Curraghkilbran, a Townland on outskirts of Galbally Parish should be able to help you re O'Donnells. I recall I put some USA O'Donnells in touch with her and when they visited she was able to introduce them to relatives.
She lives on a parcel of land (lot 4) in Curraghkilbran once "owned by the O'Donnells.
the sequence of residents was
1877 representatives of Patrick Troy (my ancestor)
1881 David Keane
1884 Michael O'Donnell
1911 Michael O'Donnell (as owner)
1935 Rodger O'Donell
1970 John Sweeney (inherited thru aunt Margaret O'Reagan married to John Sweeney)
