I am looking for anyone related to Cornelius Mulvihill (born 1840?) of Gortdromasilliah or his first wife Ann Cunningham. I heard some Mulvihills still own farms in Cloonebrane. I will be traveling to Ireland in July 2021 (hopefully) and would love to meet any distant cousins. Cornelius and Ann were my great great grandparents. Ann died possibly 1860 or 1861 and I have no information on her. Their daughter Johanna, my great grandmother, emigrated to Sidney, Ohio in the U.S. Cornelius later married Bridget Dinneen in 1862 and had a large family, many of whom emigrated to the United States.
Hi Jim, I don’t know the family but my Stack ancestors are from the same townland. If you look on Helen’s Family Trees website you will find some details about the families.
Good luck with your searches,
Ken
Thanks Ken- Helen is great, very generous with her time and information. Yes, the Mulvihill and Stacks show up a lot on the same marriage / baptism certificates so they must have been close. Later, my great, great Aunty Mary Mulvihill married Patrick Stack (b 1864), maybe related to one of your ancestors?
Thanks again.
Hi Jim, I looked up your potential family on Ancestry and found a Groves F.T.run by Yvonne Mulvihill.
In it are Cornelius Mulvihill b 1830 and Anna Cunningham b1832 with 2 children-
Daniel Mulvihill b1855-1931 Ballylongford
Maria ” 1860-
Daniel married Mary McCormick and they had a son William McCormick 1895-1960 M Margaret O’Leary 1896-1979 in turn a daughter Jane Mulvihill 1933-2017 M Kenneth Groves 1932-2009, they had a Private offspring.
I’ll check on my Stack ancestors, they are numerous!
Best wishes,
Ken
Thanks Ken. Did you find the Groves F.T. on Ancestry.com? I could not locate it there or by a Google search. I believe all their children were born in Gurtdromasillahy, not Ballylongford.
Thanks again.
Hi Jim,
I had initially opened up a different page on this site and read some things about Mulvihills, then when I saw your post on page 1, things sounded familiar with what I had just read.
I had been looking at posts by Jim Horgan on Dec 9 2013, and Patrick Mulvihill on Jan 28, 2014. Look at page 8. There was another post by someone else who mentioned visiting Moyvane, but try as I might, I cannot find it again.
Jim,
There was a 5-page hand-written document posted to the Clan Mulvihill on Facebook in 2018. It is a history of the Mulvihills and Cunninghams. There were two Mulvihill brothers (Michael, Cornelius of Gortdromasillahy & sons of Daniel) married to two Cunningham sisters (Hanora and Ann?/Hanora?/Nancy?). I have transcribed this document with help from Al Kissane and would very much like to see your Ancestry Tree. Mine is “Wapsi Mulvihill’s”
Patrick Mulvihill
Hi Patrick –
Thanks for responding, sorry I just saw your post today. I had some great help from Al Kissane too I am pretty certain we have some ties to the Mulvihills through marriage or blood or both. I am related to Cornelius Mulvihill/Anne Cunningham that you mention. Their daughter Johanna is my great grandmother. I am planning a trip to Ireland in July 2022 and would love to meet any relatives. I would be happy to send you my tree. My email is [email protected].
Cheers.
My name is Cornelius Dee
Do I have any relatives in the Ballylongford area of County Kerry [email protected]
Thank you
Jeremiah Buckley – Bridget O’Connor
Hello
I’ve hit a brick wall researching my great grandparents. Jeremiah Buckley – Bridget O’Connor, both lived in Newtownsandes 1870s-1940s. They had three sons, John (Jack) Buckley who remained in the village until he died in 1987, Maurice (my grandfather) who moved to England and Jeremiah who emigrated to New York.
Any information on any of the above would be gratefully received as I’m struggling to find out anything from the usual sources !
Thanks in advance
I have an ancestor, Timothy Leahy of Lots (c1860) from Knockanure. I would like to know where or what is “Lots”? I have tried to find out online and only come up with “lots for sale.”Thank you.
My grand mother Elizabeth Enright born (1919) sister to Sr.Mary, Danny and Body from Moyvane married Michael Quirke. Any relations or information would be greatly appreciated!
Hello from Brisbane, Australia.
I am researching my 3rd great-grandparents who were married in Moyvane in early 1833: Florence McAuliffe (? born 1796) and Ellen Healy (? born 1814). Information shows their denomination as being RC and Ellen was noted to reside in Kilmeany at that time. Marriage witnesses were Patrick McAuliffe and Martin McAuliffe. They then resided in Listowel with Ellen passing in 1870 and Florence passing in 1874. Many of their children emigrated from Listowel to Australia in 1860s. I have not been able to find earlier information for Florence and Ellen.
I would be grateful to hear from anyone who might have further information on either Florence or Ellen.
Thanks for posting this Jer. I suspect the original poster might be from a different branch of the McAuliffe family.
Patrick McAuliffe was my uncle – thanks so much for posting this information – having his poems is priceless.
Jer –
Thanks for posting the information on my uncle, Patrick McAuliffe. What a treasure to have his poetry after all these years. Of note, Pat was also an artist, fiddle player, ventriloquist and singer. I shared your post with our family Facebook group – thanks again!
On another note – Bronwen Davis, it does not appear that you are directly related to our branch of the McAuliffe clan. You may be interested in the McAuliffe Heritage Centre in Cork – they have a Facebook page, periodic gatherings of the Clan and lots of McAuliffe history. Best of luck with your search.
Thanks Michelle,
I am a member of the McAuliffe Heritage Centre’s Facebook page – no one seems to have any information on my branch, nor did a lady I contacted in Listowel who kindly asked her relatives for me. One of the children went to Dublin and I believe is the line in which a Stephen Mortimer McAuliffe or Mortimer Stephen McAuliffe has links to the legal profession. I had hoped to go to the gathering next year, however it seems the Australian govt is not going to let folks travel overseas without a significant reason until well past mid-2021.

Mortimer Stephen ( Mort ) Mcauliffe was a solicitor in Westmoreland St In Dublin he was a son of Tim McAuliffe and Annie Paddle from Ballyragget Co Kilkenny a sister to my Gt-Gt Grandmother
Thank you Jer.
As per Michelle, we may be from different lines.
Do you have Kennelly family from the Listowel area who in Australia? I have read a couple of accounts from some of the Kennelly/McAuliffe folk here.
Hello Moyvane! Greetings from the town of Orchard Park in the beautiful Buffalo/Niagara region of western New York State. I discovered your website while searching for information about the poet, Gabriel Fitzmaurice, and was delighted to read the information about him on your “People” web page.
Much to my dismay, however, of the 11 individuals listed on this particular page, there is no mention of any women. Just curious as to why this is the case, and hoping you will let me know.
Many thanks,
Kathleen Quinlivan
Sitting here in Worcester, Massachusetts missing Moyvane and all our friends from Moyvane. What a difference a years makes – I hope you are all well and safe!
Hi, I’m trying to find out details about the O’Flaherty/Flaherty/Scanlon lines from Moyvane. Particularly any descendants that moved to England, or possibly spent time on the Isle of Wight. Many thanks

I am helping a friend with some research into her family. The woman’s relatives are Buckleys from Kealid/Derry. They were Buckleys, children of Timothy and Ellen Walsh and the emigrated to Chicago in 1880’s. In advance of a visit we were wondering if anyone would know where this family of Buckleys are buried? Mary Buckley was the woman’s name and her siblings included Ellen Buckley (married JeremiahO’Connor), Margaret, Patrick, Mary, Johanna, Honora, Michael, Timothy, Eliza, Michael and Catherine. Many thanks.
Donna
You are probably correct, my hope is that I can get in touch with one of original the Mulvihill families that first settled in Moyvane and see if they might have some historical insight.
i would like a copy today.

Hi,

Thanks so much, I was able to find both of those posts! I will follow up to see if they lead anywhere.
What were Cornelius’s parents and siblings. Called?
I believe his father was Daniel Mulvihill and his mother was a McMahon. I am not aware of any siblings.
