Hi Murf, Yes, it's frustrating that there seems to be no record of Bridget in Australia. I can only hope for a DNA match in the future. I feel the same about the timing of the ad, Mary died 2 years later and I am pretty sure she never found out what happened to Bridget. Of course there was also the ...

Hi Sheila, Oh yes, I can see how you made that mistake about the name. Not to mind the fact that I have looked at that record myself a few times over the last couple of months and I never even noticed Ellen Keating. I think I would be happy to treat her as a sister of Mary's and see how that goes. I...

That's the one Sheila, thanks for locating that. I am making the assumption for now, rightly or wrongly, that Michael and Tom Glenny are also brothers of Tim.

Hi Sheila Yes, what a great discovery by Murf. So pleased with that and it is gratifying to know her sister was still looking for her 27 years after she left. Such a pity, all the connections that have been lost over time. Re: Gortbrack, my research tells me it is in the townland of Leeds if that he...

Hi Murf, Wow, that's amazing, thank you so much. A definite lead at last. Hopefully I can find some trace of Bridget in Australia. I think it's likely she never made contact because I'm pretty sure we would have heard about her down through the family. My Ggrandmother was called Bridget Glynn, she w...

Hi Sheila, Yes I found the death records, I don't know how I couldn't find them yesterday. I see Honora has aged 15 years between the census and her death 6 years later. People really didn't know what age they were most of the time I think. Re: Thady Glynn, somewhere I found a census of Co. Clare fr...

Hi again Sheila, I have been doing a bit of searching and pondering on the O'Loughlins, I cannot see the records of the deaths of Patrick and Hanora. I have searched IrishGenealogy and RootsIreland. Could you please tell me where you came across them? I checked the census records also and I see that...

Hi Sheila, That is so much good information. It's difficult to know how close these places are to each other without having local knowledge so it's fantastic that you can provide that. The obituary was amazing to find, it lists those that attended the funeral but unfortunately all of those listed ar...

Great research tho Sheila

Hi Sheila Well, you have given me some things to consider. I just don't know if it is possible that the family in Minnesota is my family. Martin seemed a good fit until his parents turned up. My GGgrandmother was Ellen O'Loughlin, daughter of Michael and Mary Keating. Why would she have stayed behin...

Sheila,

You have been extremely helpful thank you so much. I would never have found Bridget without you and now I have more of an idea where Doonagan is I can concentrate on that area.

Many Thanks
Miriam

Hi Sheila, Thanks for clarifying about John. I have not seen the records regarding Birdget, I looked at the Kilmihil records for 1856 but I can't see it. That could just be me tho, am I right in presuming the parish for Doonogan is Kilmihil? Of course I made a mistake in my last message, I did have ...

Hi Sheila and Murf Thank you both so much for all your work. Sheila, I do have all the records of the Glynn family. Yes the obituary you referred to is the one I have. I think it refers to the Keating family rather than the O'Loughlin family. I tried to attach it here but it just wouldn't happen for...

Hi Would anybody have information on this family. My GGGgrandmother Mary O'Loughlin died in Limerick in 1911. I believe her maiden name was Keating. In her obituary it says she was married to Michael O'Loughlin, a blacksmith from the Donogan/Kilmihil area. I would welcome any information on either t...

Hi, I'm looking for information on Thady Glynn who lived in Ennis in the mid 1800s. I believe he is an ancestor of mine but can find no records online to confirm this. This guy was a political figure and seems to have been a bit of a thorn in the side of the authorities at the time, I have found som...
