John Shannon and Mary Bakey of Doolin

Looking for information on John Shannon married to Mary Bakey. Mary was born to Thomas Bakey and Bridget O'Brien about 1861 in Kililagh. They lived on Fisherstreet. She married John Shannon in 1881 ,but I can't find names of his parents. In the 1901 census, Mary is listed as a widow,living at #2 Fis...

Naming pattern

I know about the naming patterns for Irish families,so what is the likelihood that a man would have over about 12 grandsons,that I'm aware of,and not one has his name? I'm referencing my 3rd great grandfather,Timothy Carrigg. There are several repeated given names,but no Timothy. Makes me wonder if ...

Re: Carrig/ O'Connor

Wow, this is all great stuff! I so appreciate it. On another note. I recently found 2 people about a 4th cousin DNA match to me that has a Maggie Conner in their trees. She married a man in Kentucky,US about 1867. Unfortunately it doesn't give her age,but listed as her witness is Isaac Conners. If y...

Re: Carrig/ O'Connor

Sheila, Great find on the marriage of Patrick.Was that in the Parish records? I hope next trip to Ireland to actually get out and walk on the land in Carnaun,as it seems for certain they lived there. Recently on Ancestry and probably family search,new records have been released because I have found ...

Re: Carrig/ O'Connor

In case someone else is researching Carriggs. I was able to confirm that my Michael Carrigg did indeed have a sister, Mary or Marie. I recently found a marriage certificate of John Carey to Mary Carrigg born about 1854 in Ireland. Parents are listed as Timothy and Margaret Tierney.(Thats a new clue ...

Looking for information on Andrew O'Connor, Bridget Droney

Looking for any information on Andrew O'Connor married ,Bridget Droney. They had a daughter Ann ,who was born about 1813. I don't know where in Clare they were from or their age,but I'm assuming in 1780's? Their daughter Ann O'Connor married Patrick Howley,b 1816. They had 3 daughters that I am awar...

Re: Herberts in Ennistymon

Through DNA, I'm pretty sure I'm connected to this line of Carrigs. Is there any record of the descendents of Charles Carrigg?

Re: Carrig/ O'Connor

Thanks again Sheila. Interesting that godparents could be as young as 10. This may be a stupid question but what about confirmations in Ireland. Here in the States, I've found church records of the Carrigg children. Did people keep records there? On another note, I'm convinced that Bridget Tierney i...

Re: Carrig/ O'Connor

I believe I may have found another sibling of Michael, Martin and Patrick Carrigg. I discovered a Maria Carrigg living in the same small town in the US as Michael. On church records she is listed as godmother to one of Michael and Ann's daughters. She is married to a John Carey who is much older tha...

Married a Mary Fitzgerald in 1858 also in Lough.i have a family tree of their descedents but once again I'm faced with nobody being able to trace any further back. Don't know who...

Re: Carrig/ O'Connor

Thank you Sheila. I'm not even looking at those O'Conors born late 1800s. My DNA match is definitly further back than that. That's why I asked about how I would find the parents of Bridget Connors/ O'Connor born in 1830, married to John Shannon. It could be closer as it appears the O Connors and the...
