Hello, I'm researching my 2x great grandmother's family. Her name is Susan Jane Mossop, b. 12 Dec 1839. She married William Henry McComb(s) (1838-1911) on in 15 Dec 1862 in the Corbally Parish Church, County Tipperary. They had one daughter, Annie Elizabeth, b. 9 Oct 1863, prior to leaving for America in Sept 1864. Susan's death certificate says her parents were Jonathan Mossop and Helen Martin, both born in Ireland. I am not able to find records for them in Roscrea or Corbally. I have found two people who may be Susan's parents in Borrisokane. My theory is that Susan might have been born and reared in Borrisokane. I find a Jonathan Mossop and an Ellen Mossop living in Borrisokane on the Griffiths valuation records for 1852: Jonathan Mossop in Liskinlahan, place type "townland" and Ellen Mossop in Rathmore/Tower Hill, place type 'other'. I'm looking for information on these people, especially birth/baptism information for Annie Elizabeth McCombs. Can anyone help? Thank you!  Liz.....I can be reached at this email: lizparks47@hotmail.com

  • Hi, I replied to this last week, so I don't know where the information went, never mind.

    This is from the Tithe records
    The Tithe Applotment Books, 1823-37 (nationalarchives.ie)
    Rathmore map
    Rathmore Townland, Co. Tipperary (townlands.ie)
    seems John lived in Ballycasey, Uskane........just outside Borrisokane..
    Ballycasey Townland, Co. Tipperary (townlands.ie)

    On the Rathmore map you will see a road R490, where it meets L5024 that area is Liskinlahan.

    In 1901 James Mossop was married to Syrena, she was born in Osgood, Ontario.     They must have married there as I can find the marriage.
    In 1911 they are living in Shesheraghmore, which is, back to the Rathmore map find Liskinlahan look for L1063, the triangle area is Shesheraghmore.
    It says he is a land caretaker, there was an estate there called Bushy Park.
    His father was James Mossop and he died in 1900 and Syrena was present at the death. 
    Use this link and you will find records.

    Hope this helps.
