Hi Al - just as there is an 'Air Pilot' - so too there is a 'Sea Pilot' - these are men who are qualified to guide ships up the river - in this case - particulary the Shannon and Limerick region - I can only speak for Kilrush where there is a Pilot Boat based. I am sure Foynes & Limerick also have s...

Hello all - could Derry be regarded as 'DOIRE' - OAK - like in Derry in N.I. ? There is an area outside Doonbeg which is Derryard - poss. high oak - with no mention of this place in Census - Miriam.

The census of 1901 & 1911 for Moore St., Kilrush, shows Peter Dold, Master Jeweller and Watchmaker - born in Germany. His wife is shown born in Co. Clare - poss. married in 1885. Their son - also Peter - continued the business - it was taken ove by Joseph Hartman - with Limerick connections - poss. ...

Hello Sharon - that is wonderful info - and I will tell a friend in U.S. to look it up. Paddy - maybe the Studderts were buried in another cemetery. I think it was in 1994 - I met a descendent of the Studderts at a weekend at An Grianan - Irish Countrywomen's Assoc. up in Co. Louth. I was with my IC...

Hello Paddy - that is a great link - I would say that Kilrush Church of Ireland once looked like this. I never saw it inside while being used for worship. Re Important People in Parish - e.g. Hickman of Fenloe House - ''' Hugh & Henry Hickman of Ballykett. ''' Ballykett is a townland about mile and ...

Many thanks Paddy W & Polycarp.
I think these Americans should visit Dublin & Kilrush/Kilkee where they would find a wealth of info re their families.

Would any member know if the above records are available on micro film - like those of R.C. Church ? I have a request from America re info - I know the Registers are held at St. Columba's Church in Ennis - and it would be poss. to see them if prior arrangement made with Rev. Canon Hanna. Miriam.

Hello Michael- or it sounds like Mee haul in Irish !!! It was great to see the wonderful photos of Bob's visit to Ireland. I think I told you that 'The Little Ark' in the church at Kilbaha was dragged down to the seashore - in order that Fr. Meehan could say Mass in Penal times. You must add another...

Hello Joseph - It was very sad to see such young men die in 1922. My reply to the last posting was got by looking at the telephone book. Now to get you started on finding several families of Darcy & McGuane - log on to http://www.clarelibrary.ie - open Genealogy = several docs. - but Tithes & Applot...

Happy Birthday Michael. They are great photos of Bob's visit to Ireland last November. The house ruins could have been the home of the Keniry/Kinery family over 150 yrs. ago.!!! There were several pronounciations of the name - and the Irish language has a different sound to the written word. - e.g. ...

Sharon - it is ironic that you should mention 'descendants remotely located' - on Face book there is a site called Kilrush Local History Group - and some time ago there was a photo of Scattery Island shown. There was a request as to where it could be purchased - and it came all the way from Alaska f...

Hello Ray - There has been a lot of corres. in last few months re Mulvihille & Honan Families on this forum - but I don't think they are your connections. However - I have looked at a few entries on Church of Latter Day Saints - pilot.familysearch.org/record search - and the following details might ...
