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.
Hi looking to find any info on Devereaux family that lived around listowel area.my grandfather was born in listowel to a James and Molly (Brady) Devereaux round 1930s!! Regards James
James Devereaux was the brother of my Great Great Grandfather, Michael. His parents were John and Ellen Devereaux of Ballinruddery. Happy to share information.
I have posted several times previously,but have received no reply. Could someone please help me with information re John Kennelly, Cornelius Kennelly and Bridget Kennelly who left Moyvane in the mid to late 1880’s /90’s and came to Melbourne Australia. John married Mary O’Dea in Melbourne. Bridget died in 1894? I know where her grave is but have no details to put on a headstone. Bridget is buried beside John & Mary with their two youngest children, twins, Veronica ( Ron) and Clare. I have ensured that the headstone for them has been renovated and completed with a celtic cross and the words, ‘Love never dies’.
Hi Jer! Yes, Pat Kennelly was a labor member of the Victorian Parliament and later a Senator in the Federal Parliament till he resigned in 1974. Uncle Pat died in 1980. His son Ron died last December. So excited to get a reply!The O’Dea’s did come from County Clare.
A Mary Jane Hanrahan of Moyvane married my Great Uncle Timothy Kennelly in November, 1906. They had 15 children and owned a farm in the Moyvane’s Kilbaha townlands just southwest of the Moyvane town center, which until 1930 was known as Newtownsandes. Timothy was baptized at Assumption Parish in 1881. Mary Jane Hanrahan was born in 1888. Think she was baptized there. Believe they were married there but don’t have those records yet. Mary Jane Hanrahan Kennelly was noted for her lovely singing voice around 1930 (she would have been about 42) in an article about Moyvane in Song on the Moyvane website. She had brothers according to that article, so perhaps she is an Aunt or great Aunt of your Father Thomas. Will be in Moyvane area for four days next week and will hopefully get a look at some things related to her. Glad to pass along any Hanrahan connections I see.
I am grandson of Mary Jane Hanrahan and Timothy Kennelly. My mother was Eilis now deceased! I remember meeting my mother’s uncle Jim when he visited Cork from USA. He always wore a straw hat! I live in New Jersey. [email protected]
