“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 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?
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.
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
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.
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]
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.
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.
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.
Does anyone know who the parents of Bishop John J Fitzmaurice born in Newtownsandes in 1840. I am the descendent of Catherine Fitzmaurice born 1841 whose father was Thomas Fitzgerald of Listowel (from her marriage cert) . Family lore says we are related to the Bishop so I am wondering whether his father was also Thomas but can find any information anywhere about his parents.
I am finding info on a John Edmund Fitzmaurice, born Jan 8, 1839 in Newtownsandes, emigrating to Pennsylvania in 1858 where he was a parish priest before becoming Bishop in 1899. Could this be the same man?
This info is from a family tree on Ancestry.com for a Jon Ferrin (not sure if that name might be a relative of yours). John Edmund was born to James Fitzmaurice (1803-1889) and Catherine Walsh (1809-1899). James was the son of Edmund (1780-?) and Elizabeth (no date).
John Edmund’s siblings were:
Edmund 1832-1903
Johanna 1837-1927 married Thaddeus Scanlon
William 1840-1933 married Joanna Costelloe
Catherine 1841-1922 married John Clark
James J 1843-1906
Francis P 1848-1925
Elizabeth 1854-1908 married Andrew Crane
William and Joanna’s son, Edmond J (1881-1963), nephew to John Edmund, was also a priest in a parish in Delaware.
If I can be of any further help. contact me directly at [email protected] and I’ll find what I can for you.

Hi Pat
It’s me again still searching for my Great Great Grandparents John and Catherine O’Connell they had a daughter Bridget in July 1861 ,I would love to know where they were married and Catherine’s maiden name.I am coming over to Ireland in two weeks and it would be great if I could trace them, thanks for all your help
Maureen
Hi Pat
Thanks for your help but not the right parents, it shows on Bridget’s birth certificate that they were o’Connells ,I think they got married between 1857-1861 but are a complete mystery,my family are treating me to trip over to Ireland in June and I would love to have found where they came from.
Thanks for all your help
Hi it’s me again been trying to find my great grandparents since 2014 their names are John O’Connell and Catherine O ‘Connell nee Sullivan they had a daughter Bridget in July 1861 who was baptised in Moyvane but later came to Britain, I would love to find out where her parents originated from ,any help would be appreciated.
Thanks very much
i did a very brief look into the above records and came up with a John Connell marrying Catherine Sullivan on 22 Feb 1841 In Kerry-Castleisland. It does not give the parent’s first names nor their towns of origin in the record but lists the witnesses as Timothy Devine and Maurice Harrington.
another quick look into Bridget showed a birth to the same named parents on 7 Jul 1861 in Moyvane (Ahalahana)
Hi, It should be possible to get these details as there are still some family members in the Listowel area. As I understand it there were 2 families, both related, one living at Ballinruddery and other at Soldiers Houses, Dromin, Listowel. Dromin is on the Listowel Tarbert road. I believe that one of the family may have gone to Donegal also.
Hope this is of some use. Martin Moore, Tralee.
