Re: hospital in or near ennis?

Saturday August 27 1932 a Father Reidy OMI officiated at the funeral of his cousin Michael Gallery who died young. I think though he is Thomas http://www.oblates.ie/assets/components ... gy07dd.pdf

Re: hospital in or near ennis?

That is highly likely to be the Reidys I am related to . Martin Taafe was married to Mary Moloney. He was from Ruan (Erinagh and Drumcavin). Mary Moloney was very likely from Dysart and I know they were related to Reidys but not which one. My gt grandmother was Mary Taaffe (Minnie) married to David ...

Re: Kierce/Kerse/Kierse families near Corrofin

You are not going to find Catholic church records prior to 1819 - there were not any churches then. I dont know about Protestant records, but if there were any they mostly dont exist any more. land records are your most likely source. Most people cant go back that far.
