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
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 !
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.
Eddie,
Thank you for checking. Anyone else you can think of that I might be able to reach out to?
thanks again,
Chris
Hello Moyvane!
I am looking for some genealogy assistance with the Mulvihill’s (Mulville). My wife and I met several wonderful people and the Pastor when we visited Moyvane in August of 2017 as our daughter was the 2017 Washington DC Rose of Tralee and we were in Tralee for the festival.
We are looking for relatives of Michael Mulvihill and Honora Mullins who were pioneer settler of Newton (Sandes?) . They had a son Timothy, born 1831 who came to America in 1853 via Canada. They also had a son John ( my direct line), who was born around 1814 and ended up in Edina Missouri, USA and died in 1895. He was married to Margaret Roach from County Limerick. We don’t know if they were married when the immigrated to the US. We have hit a brick wall in getting past this point. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Just a note of thanks to all who attended The Rambling House on Thursday 7th November 2019. We were visiting from Sheffield, UK. My mother Joan Fitzpatrick sang ‘The Green Glens of Antrim’ and ‘Dear Kingwilliamstown’. This was a great evening of huge local talent and we delighted to be a part of it. We will think of you all with fond memories.

anyone in Newtown know of a Lynch family that were known as the “long Lynchs” supposedly there were from Glasha I heard one of them was a mailman in Newtown at one time.
Hello, Some years back, my dad John Quinn discovered he had relatives in Moyvane. I think he was found by a cousin or second cousin named Rory Bunce. Their mutual relation was a man named Thaddeus Bunce who departed from a place named Newtown Sands as a teenager in the late 1800’s. Dad is trying to dig up Rory’s email for me because I may have a chance to visit SW Ireland in Feb 2020. If anyone can connect me with Rory or one of his relatives in the area, I’d be very grateful. Thanks very much, Kevin Quinn
Sad to have received no replies. I drove thru Moyvane with my family in Feb 2020 just to have a look around at where my great-grandfather came from. If anyone knows of a connection/relative of Thaddeus S. Bunce from Newtownsandes born around 1856 pleas contact me. He apparently emigrated when he was 16 to a town in eastern Pennsylvania where he had an uncle who was a priest. He later became a doctor after attending U. Penn, married and had children in Philadelphia before passing away in 1892.
Unfortunately, I only saw your message today and obviously you’ve been and gone many months ago. I have some information on Thaddeus and his siblings in the USA, as well as the siblings who remained in Ireland. You can email me at [email protected] if you want to get in touch.
Hi, My name is Mary Sandner. I am looking for my g-grandfather Michael Bryan (?) COX HIs year of birth is 1864. He was born in Asdee, county Kerry. I have been looking for him for a long time. The year of birth listed on his death certifcate in San Francisco, Calfornia is a little different from what I have been able to find for him. I am hoping that I can get confirmtion or perhaps a little help from any interested person willing to lend me a hand. I found him and his wife Nora (MURPHY) in New York. They had their first child in new York in 1890. From New york they moved and remained in San Francisco. California. I am not sure, but think his father was Robert COX and his mother Mary QUINN. Again I am looking for some confirmtion as to the acuracy of the information. I would love to hear from a COX or QUINN family who are still in county Kerry to help me with my confirmation of my research.
I would like to offer my willingness to do some research in San Francsico if that would be of help to you.
Thank you for your help.
Mary
Hi Mary,
You may not ever look here anymore, but if you do happen to see this, you may contact me at [email protected]. I descend from Mary Quinn’s older sister, Maggie Quinn.
I have been in touch with a couple of your relatives in the Bay Area.
Your Michael is in my tree with this information: b 27Apr1864 in Ballylongford and d 24Sep1927 in SFO.
Hello. I’m reaching out again in the hope of locating present day family. My Great grandparents, James Lyons of Larha & Margaret Sullivan of Kilimero were married on Feb 23 1879 in Ballybunion. Witnesses were Edmund Walsh & Ellen Walsh. Officiating priest was Rev M O’Connor.
James & Margaret had, to my knowledge, 5 children
Michael b1880 (my grandfather)
Bridget b 1881
Jeremiah b 1884
James b 1886
Thomas B 1888.
Michael immigrated to New York in 1900. I don’t know if any siblings left Ireland.
I often see the name ‘Lyons’ in this newsletter and wondered if any have a connection to my ancestors. I am planning a trip to Ireland later this year and was hoping to spend some time researching people, homes. churches and graveyards. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time!

Fairly recently I saw posts of Conor Kinsella and Paul Buckley regarding Buckley families from around the area. I’m tracking the large family of Michael Buckley and Honora Shine of the Hill Gortdromasillahy, they were born about 1895 and it seems that many or all of their 11 children emigrated to around New York. From obituaries I have found 9 children Paddy, Liam, Cornelius,Marie, Fr Dennis, Edward (Ned), Fr Michael, Daniel J. Buckley and Joseph Vincent Buckley which shows 9. Has anybody got knowledge of this family and who and where the other two went.
Conor and Paul are you happy for me to e mail yourselves?
Ken
Hi Ken, I have the full family tree for Michael & Honora, One of their children , Daniel Joseph was my Father. He came over to England in the 1950’s. I have been back to Moyvane many times. Please get in touch as my own research came to a dead end. But I have lots of information and produced a family history in book form with photos. How are you interested / related ??

Unlikely to get any further, I’m afraid.
Michael Mulvihill, probably is from Moyvane [formerly Newtown Sandes]
Honora Mullins is unlikely to be from North Kerry [but this cannot be ruled out as there was a Mullins family in Tarbert]
So, if looking in Kerry, you need to focus in on Michael. Presume you have looked at http://www.irishgenealogy.ie? [It is free]
Any trace of the Mulvihill Mullins marriage record?
