Re: Researching Family of Andrew Donnellan and Mary Connole
Hi again Phil, one of the ways I have been able to work out family connections is by locating the marriage date where possible, then putting the children's baptisms in descending order. Irish Naming Conventions For sons The 1st son was named after the father's father. The 2nd son was named after the...

Re: Researching Family of Andrew Donnellan and Mary Connole
Hi Phil - you may wish to look more closely at my post re Kapunda, SA, as that is where Patrick married O'Loughlin in 1873. It is also where a John Donnellan and Bridget (nee Kierce) are buried (St John's Catholic), both said to be of Kilmaley (a/c to Bridget's obituary of 1931). There are several O...

Re: Researching Family of Andrew Donnellan and Mary Connole
Hi again Phil, the James Donnellan who arrived in Tas in 1854, from Clare, I believe is the same one who sponsored my relation Catherine Hynes (nee Hehir) who was from a townland near Corrofin, and coming to join her extended family in New Norfolk. He died in NN in 1879, with his widow Mary (not Ann...

Re: Researching Family of Andrew Donnellan and Mary Connole
Hi Phil, let's hope some of these tips assist your quest. I live in Oz and have found this Clare library site brilliant, particularly the people who partake in the forum. One important thing I have learned is to use the GenMaps function - a wealth of information here, including that which assists wi...

Re: Researching Family of Andrew Donnellan and Mary Connole
Hi Phil, in my searches for Donnellans related to my Kierce relations, I came across this article, with a list of families that included Donnellan.

Re: Carkill
Hi Sheila, the detective in you shines through! You have found a couple of Carkills in the US that I had missed (the Burke connection). The name Jeremiah/Jerome does appear a couple of times both in Clare and the US and I do believe at least 2 branches of the family have some migrants to the US (one...

Re: Carkill
Thank you Sheila, you are so generous with your time. I have been mapping all the Carkil BDM, Tithe, Griffiths, & census records to ascertain their relationships. The earliest in the records is evidence of a Jeremiah (born abt 1780's?), whose daughter Mary (of Leana) married Thomas Crowe in 1827, wi...

Re: Carkill
Thanks Polycarp, this is interesting. My own research led me to think the Kierce families may have arrived from Ulster after the expulsions there late 1700s. As very few libraries in Oz have any copies of The Other Clare, do you know how I can get a hold of this particular edition of the journal? ki...

Carkill
Hi all - am trying to trace some families with the surname Carkil/Carkill (& many variants in the records, of course) in/around Commons South. In the Tithe Applotment Books I have found a Martin @ Drommher, a John & Martin @ Leana, Thomas @ Commons Nth (Poulkine). I suspect the Martin @ Leana (marri...

Re: Do Clare & Limerick newspapers show details of people convicted of crimes?
Hi Joan - yes, the many county papers did carry reports of some court proceedings relating to crimes in their localities. The Clare library has copies of some of these papers. A search of the Irish Newspapers site may assist you, although John Lynch a common name and you would need some firmer dates...

re meaning of Fineborensi
Hi Sheila, you have answered this question for me sometime in the past, but as we cannot currently search for past topics, I am hoping you will respond again. In your transcriptions of the parish records, the term Fineborensi occurs occasionally - is it a general term meaning not of the parish, or d...
