I have info regarding the TUOHY family in Boucher Park (townland??) and Coolagoree ()townland) County Clare from 1810 to 1840+ Feakle parish. Any help with these locations please.

Is Dromore townland in the parish of Ruan or Feakle. Map on library site says Ruan, No.18 but where does Feakle come in, I'm still getting mixed up!!!
Cheers

My Toohey man boarded ship in September 1880 leaving London, how would he have got to London? Advice please.

Back again. Death transcription says Con's father as Patrick and mother Ellen Minogue, informant was eldest son and not always correct. Marriage transcription which one feels is nearly alright being informed by the party concerned, lists father only as Cornelius and mother not listed! A Patrick T is...

Hi there I've spent most of today going through more shipping records and found more Tuohyy/Twohy names arriving and notations about "relatives in colony" and some have parent's names and they are so very hard to read but I reckon they are more cousins. Boy do they wake me up at 3am! Still have to f...

Thanks for adding to this wonderful confusion that is setting in!!!!!I now have one evidence of parents of Cornelius Patrick Toohey and Ellen Minogue. Applying for a second record now. I had a brainstorm in the early hours thinking the 2 boys who travelled with Con to Australia were his brothers, on...

OK have sorted the Ellen bit, this person had copied from another tree in Ancestry!!!!!!!! Speaking today, to a descendant who knew the researcher from the 1980s, he told me he had all the papers and Mary Finessey was down as wife to Patrick and the 1901 shows a Maryanne as wife to Patrick. I am now...

Hi there everyone A name has come to light that may be my Cornelius' parents. Patrick Tuohy, dad of course and ELLEN SHERLOCK mum. I have written to the owner of this tree on Anc (who I have already been in touch with) to see if he will tell me where the ELLEN SHERLOCK came from. Haven't had a chanc...

Thanks Sheila
Will look into that, not enough hours in the day!

Thanks for the map directions I've had one go at working it out but need more time and patience. Amazing how it all works but I will get there! So a challenge for the next few days.

Thanks again, now being a keen map person are there any maps which can show me Annaghnea, Tula and Feakle? I found Dromore on the ord survey map not as a village just the name across the map and I have a map of Ireland so need to have a more detailed one of Clare to find those places, are they villa...

I have read that obit in Trove and I have to admit I hadn't picked that up!!! Read it so many times you wouldn't believe! So it pays to go over and over stuff doesn't it? thanks for the push. I will look up the census as you mentioned and did wonder if the Griffith valn may have been grandad. Have t...

Thanks Sharon,all your ideas are great. Interestingly enough one of Cornelius' sons was Michael Joseph! Will check out the Fou/oohey also. Still waiting for the D/C to come. I have his will, death and funeral notices from Trove and into Lands records at the moment. Dromore (cottage name) keeps sayin...

I'm a first time poster so bear with me please! Research from 1980s, passed down through the family (here in Australia) no sources, no records only written doc. says Cornelius Toohey was born 3 Feb 1861 in Ennis Co. Clare parents Patrick Toohey and Ellen...? I need to prove this date and I am waitin...
