My Mom Came from There and you could hear the pride in her Voice when ever Mom Spock of her Home in MoyVane….R.I.P. Mom ( Ne, Mary Scanlon) Mary Mackessy Thank you for letting me write hear………
I just found out through DNA and my own research that my Great Grandfather Daniel Burns was born in Moyvane in 1842. From what I found out, his Father was Michael Burns and his Mother was Mary Mcelligott ,
My Great Grandfather was married to Catherine Mannion. They left Ireland in the 1860s and settled in Baltimore Maryland USA and had 4 children,
There has to be some Burns’s left n Moyvane.
If these names mean anything to anyone, please contact me at [email protected].
I am researching my Family History.
I am particularly interested in James Murphy who married Ellen Laide in Newtownsandes some time between 1908 and 1912.
I have 2 different Civil Records for their Marriage.
The first states that on 6th November 1908
James Murphy, bachelor, prison warder of Maryborough, Queen’s County married
Ellen Laide, spinster, nurse of Newtownsandes, Kerry. Her father was Richard Laide.
The marriage was solemnised by Thomas K. Lyne C.C. in the Roman Catholic Church of Newtownsandes.
The second certificate gives the date of their marriage as 18th October 1912.
All of the other information is identical on both records.
The actual date of marriage is the only fact that differs.
James Murphy was recorded as single in the census of 1911.
Another intriguing fact is that on 11th March 1914, James Murphy was tried for Forgery of a Marriage Certificate at the Tralee Assizes! He was acquitted.
I feel that your church record is likely to be accurate.
Any information about the Richard Laide & Anne McCarthy family would be appreciated. Thank you

Kerry Spring Assizes -JUDGE’S ADDRESS. CRIMINAL BUSINESS. (Mr M J Nolan was on the Grand Jury)
The Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Dodd opened the business of the Kerry Assizes on Wednesday in the Tralee Courthouse. There are only six criminal cases, and these are not of an important kind.
(Cases include Highway robbery from a bank official between Listowel and Abbeyfeale, three prisoners were tried at Cork, two found guilty and jury disagreed over the third. Mr Gleeson and O’Connor charged over £19 0s 5d about getting around illegal payment; Burning House, Mrs Kelly and Dillon had joint attics and Kelly charged with burning; Robbery of Pawn Shop. Policeman in Moyvane changing date on his marriage certificate, married 1908 and changed it to 1912, he James Murphy married Helen Laide in Newtownsandes.
The name Ellen Laide jumped out at me when I read your entry here.
My grandmother was born in Newtownsandes in 1902 to a sizeable family (16, though not all lived to maturity) named Kearney. Her mother’s maiden name was McElligott. In the 1911 census, a nurse, Ellie Laide, lived with the family in house #20. Ellie was listed as single for that census which might be helpful to you in dating her marriage.
I have found out that my relatives, the Mulvihill family of Kilbaha’s graves in Murhur Cemetery were knocked down in the 1950s by another Mulvihill family who had the next plot. The other Mulvihill family put their relatives graves on my families plot without permission. They then put a small grave which reads The Mulvihill Family Kilbaha R.I.P for my relatives pretending that they had not taken our family plot. I was wandering if anyone knows who to contact to find who is buried in my families plot and if there is old records that show who own which plot in Murhur Cemetery. Thank you
I would like to know what happened to the farm in Kilbaha, Moyvane owned by Jimmy and Mamie Kennelly. Jimmy passed on his 92nd birthday in 2005. Mamie in 2008. They both supposedly passed away in Kilbaha and were buried in Murhur Cemetery in Moyvane. According Helen’s Family Trees.com, Jimmy and Mamie had seven children, all of whom were listed at “living” under the current update. Anyone know this family? Or if they still own this farm in Kilbaha? Coming to the Village in 10 days and would like to see it. Have walked Lavalla South and the Hill Road from Knockanure Road to the Limrick County Line via Google Streetview wondering which farm might be the one my grandfather grew up on. Would love to see it. When we are in Moyvane the week of July 17th to the 20th. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated.
A branch of the Kennelly family returns for the first time to Moyvane after 112 years to visit this July 18-21. Jim Kennelly, brother of Tim Kennelly, son of Daniel Kennelly and Catherine Thornton, left for America in September 1906. We hope to say hello and find out what happened to the family farm…
The Kennelly farm was in Kilbaha, not sure yet if North, South or Middle, but investigating. It was in the care of Tim Kennelly and his finance, Mary Jane Hanrahan, (a lovely singer according to an article on this site) when Jim emigrated to New York City in September 1906. One of Tim and Mary Jane’s 15 children, Michael, eventually came to New York and lived with Jim and his family (which included my father) while he completed his high school education before entering into his training to join the Jesuit order. Fr. Michael Kennelly went on to serve as President of Loyola University in New Orleans and be named a member of the Papal Household. Although probably not the same branch, we’re still looking forward to stopping by Kennelly’s Homevalue Harware in the village, seeing Our Lady of the Assumption Church, the Co-op, the GAA football pitch, and seeing as much as we can of the Middle Plain.
I am a Huddersfield Town supporter and Eoin Hand, who I’m led to believe is a resident of Moyvane, was the manager of my football club between 1988 and 1992. I write to former players and managers of Huddersfield Town to ask for their autographs and also their thoughts on their time at the club and what they think to the club’s current situation (being in the Premier League). I have been trying to contact Eoin for many years but to no avail. I am wondering if anyone on this page could help put me in touch with Eoin? Or alternatively put Eoin in touch with me? I’d be grateful for any help. Cheers!
Mary Anne Buckley (birth around 1866 in Kerry)
I hope someone might be able to help me in a search for the family/homeplace of Mary Anne Buckley. We don’t know who her parents were (trying to find out) but she was in Chicago with Ellen O Connor nee Buckley from Kilbaha (father Timothy Buckley, Mother Ellen Walsh), wife of Jeremiah O Connor from 1890 onwards. The sponsors/ witnesses at family events were Timothy Buckley, Robert Buckley, James Buckley, Mary Griffin, Nellie Keegan, Hannah Buckley, John Buckley and Michael Buckley. I think they were cousins. If anyone has any pointers, it would be great. Have looked at Genealogy.ie, Parish records etc. Can’t seem to find Mary. Many thanks

“INFORMATION Wanted on; Patrick Culhane, of Adrian, Mich., died Sept. 4th, 1908. He was born 1848 and went to America in 1870. Patrick was survived by three children, Thomas and Mary Culhane of Adrian, Mich., and Mrs. William O’Brien of Rochester and siblings Daniel, Michael and John Culane, and Mrs. William Bunce of Ireland, Miss Catherine Culhane and Mrs. Charles Reeling of Rochester, Mrs. Michael Windle of Honeoye Falls and Mrs. John Bunce of Victor. Details from the Victor Herald New York.”
My mother’s maiden name
was Mary Stundon
Born: October 31, 1905. In Moyvane, Kerry . My Grandmother’s maiden was Fitzgerald, Anistasa. My Grandfather ‘s name Patrick Stundon. The farm was turned over to my mother’s sister who was married to an Enright.
I have a photo of a Gravestone marker in the Murher cemetery near Mulvane dedicated to Cornelius C. Mulvihill and his wife Mary Costellow. This was erected by J.C. Mulvihill of Nashville, TN and I am trying to connect him with my husband’s great grandfather Edward or possibly Edmund who also lived in Nashville. I have reason to believe they were brother and immigrated together. Are there any remaining Mulvihills in the area? It is such a delight to read the history of your lovely area on this site and look forward to visiting your beautiful country in August. Thank you for making this available.
I do not have a date of death, just a photo of the marker which names his wife as Mary Costellow and deceased children Mary and William. JC Mulvihill, the son who erected the monument was born in 1836 and died in 1917. I assume his name was Jeremiah Cornelius or at least that is what my records claim.
I have just found a Cornelius Mulvihill on my family history that I have no information about but he was born in C.1830-C.1850. But on my family history he has siblings called Daniel (1830-1877), Margaret (1832-), Mary? (1835-) and Johanna (1844-). Are these your relatives?
Hello, I am wondering if anniversaries of events that occurred during the War of Independence are commemorated. I am specifically interested in the events at Gortaglanna near Knockanure on 12th May, 1921. I have never visited Ireland and I am hoping to do so. With the 100th anniversary approaching in a few years, I am considering trying to coordinate my trip with the anniversary.
Thank you,
Cornelius Flynn
It certainly will be. The commemorations, which have started have included commemorating Thomas Ashe last year. Thomas Russell and the Gortatlea attack has been commemorated this year. Knockanure being a significant event will have a suitable commemoration in 2021. Keep in touch for details. Martin Moore. email [email protected]
THE GORTAGLANNA ANNUAL COMMEMORATION: takes place on Saturday 12th May at 7.30pm. People are asked to assemble at Mc Mahon’s Bridge. Guest speaker Councillor Toiréasa Ferris. That is what it says on this website for the 2018 commemoration.
Hello!
My name is Amanda and I am looking for information about my ancestors. I live in the United States and just found out I am half Irish and really excited about it!
My great-great-great grandfather Patrick Connor was born in Moyvane in 1836 (it says the Parish Moyvane and address is Kilmany. Is that a city or street name or something?) He immigrated to the US in the 1860s I think. His siblings were all born in the same place: Edmund, Mary, and Dermot. Their parents were Denis Connor and Margaret Bryan.
Kilmeaney is a beautiful part of North Kerry. Connor [and O’Connor] is a surname strongly associated with North Kerry. Google ‘Carrigafoyle Castle’ and you should get some of this history. I will look more at your request in the next week or so.
Martin
Denis, was born 8 April 1836 and his sponsors were Maurice Moloney and Bridget Stokes; His brother Edmund was born 31 Jan 1832 and the sponsors were William Moore and Margaret Pope. That Moore family are still there. The Popes were wiped out in Famine times.Dermot was born on 28 Aug 1840 and John Scanlan and Elizabeth Stokes were sponsors. My grandafther’s grandmother was a Bridget Stokes, but I cannot say it is the same woman. You should be aware that Kilmeaney was sometimes recorded as Riversdale in early 19 century records. You may know all this already. Martin.
I am having trouble finding Kennelly ancestors from Moyvane. Requests for help don’t seem to bring much success. Would there be anyone who would undertake some research for me? I am willing to pay for time spent, etc.
I’m looking for:
John Kennelly Cornelius Kennelly Bridget Kennelly and their parents,etc. All migrated to Australia in the 1880’s or 1890’s.
Assistance would be much appreciated.
Margaret do you know the parents names because then I can find birth records, baptism records and the parents marriage and family. I will try and do a family tree if you would like me to.
You would need more information. Have you tried http://www.irishgenealogy.ie? It is free and you should be able to get what you want.
I had a quick look and found a John Kennelly of Leitrim, Moyvane, born in 1865 to Michael Kennelly and Mary kennelly. A Cornelius Kennelly was born to same parents in 1863. I have no idea if this is ‘your’ Kennellys or not. Hope this is of some use.
