I am trying to trace anyone in the Co. Cork area who may be related to PATRICK GEARY, he emigrated to England and lived in Birkenhead (by Liverpool) in the early 1900's. He married MARY McCARTHY in the 1920-30's. Any help would be much appreciated.

I too am researching a Mary McCarthy although a different one! She married my g-grandfather John Bogg in 1866 in Charlton in Kent. Her father was Daniel Bogg a labourer. She died 12 years later of TB aged 30. She was living in East Plumstead at the time. she had three sons and two daughters. All children died except the eldest John Edward Bogg. I know nothing about her or her father or where they came from. I suspect that her father worked at Woolwich Arsenal as did my g-grandfather as it was the main employer in the area at the time. Any connection?

One of my father's brothers emigrated to California and lived in San Francisco. His name was Daniel Geary and i do know he had two sons but I do not know where they are living now. He moved to the USA in the 1920-30's I think. I do not know if this is any help to you but thank you for your reply to my enquiry.

Geary is a very common surname around the village of Gortroe and town of Youghal in Co. Cork, Ireland. That is probably where he is from. You could also try posting a mesage on the Youghal web-site www.youghal.net.
Hope that helps A.

I have just started to do some research on my Geary side cannot find anything on my grandfather Jeremiah Geary born around 1905. I know he had a brother Daniel Geary who emigrated to America aged 17 in 1917. Moved to San Francisco some family talk on being relatd to the Mayor of San Francisco.
My grandfather Jeremiah Geary lived in Ellesmere Port but moved around alot he died in 1966. they where both born in County Cork.
Does this ring a bell with anyone.

Hello
I am tracing my great-grandfather Cornelious Geary born 1830"s who was a catholic priest who ran away to England to marry. I know he came from County Waterford and had several brothers who emigrated to America.

Hi,
Have you looked for their births in the indexes? If they were born post 1864, it should have been registered. These are available at the Dublin GRO or on film at your local family history centre. (Church of the latter day saints)

Hello
I'm searching for any information about my great grandmother Catherine Geary who was born c.1848 Limerick Cork who immergrated to Australia in 1864 and arrived aboard the "Morning Star" in Sydney aged 16 with her Sister Mary aged 18.Their elder brother Patrick born c.1840 Limerick was already here at that time,although I can find no trace of his arrival.
Catherine married George Richards in Tumut nsw 10th November 1868 but unfortunatley neglected to list her parents names on the marriage certificate.
Any suggestions as to where I can continue my search would be greatly appreciated .

Hi,
Do you mean Co Limerick or Co Cork?
I would check the Geary families in the Griffith Valuation which in Cork was taken between 1851 and 1853 and in Limerick in 1853.
There were 116 GEARY households in Co Cork, 16 in the city and only 13 in Co Limerick, 13 in the city.
Do you know the children's names? It was traditional to name the second son after the mother's father so you could check that.

Hi Kate.............ummmmmm not sure about Irish Counties I'm afraid but information I have says Limerick and there was talk about Cork so I'm really not sure but maybe if I check out the Limerick one first.
Next question is how do I go about checking the Griffith Valuation from here in Australia?
If you mean Catherine's children then yes I have all 10 names and places of birth.
Catherine & George's eldest and first son was Thomas born & died 1869,their second son,the fouth child born was George H J.
