Title: Leahy Family Fethard Tipperary
Post by: anderton on Sunday 29 March 09 16:20 BST (UK)
Please can anyone help me re the Leahy family of Fethard, Tipperary.  My great grandfather was Thomas leahy, born 1872, in Fethard.  He married a Margaret Ryan, again in Fethard.  They had ten children, the eldest of which was my maternal grandmother Catherine (Katie) Leahy.  The family lived in Chapel Lane Fethard for many years - to my knowledge the house is still there.  Catherine married a british soldier, William Bedford, again in Fethard in 1916. If anyone could help I'd be very grateful, thanks, Anderton

Hi Ann,

The BVI is the British Vital Index which is a series of CD's which record BMD's from 1864 to about 1875, they are quite usefull as you can do a parent search, also in your case they give more information like the birth was in Fethard.

I believe you are descendant of the same family as me.  My grandmother was Katie's sister.  My grandmother was Brigid Leahy.  I have a family tree.  If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.  My email address is  (*)

I just discovered last week that my Leahys were also from Fethard - Denis Leahy was my great great grandfather, immigrated in the mid-1820s to New York, and a bit later to San Jose, California where he was a farmer. He lived to almost 100 years of age. ;D Brendan, I believe I have a book of yours. Would you autograph it for me?

Jeflb, Do you know the dates when your Jeremiah and/or Thomas lived? Do you know where they lived? Have you found them on any census forms? It's helpful to start with yourself and work backwards, documenting along the way.

I am also exploring the Leahy Family Tree. I would agree with Thomas and Margaret having 10 children the eldest being Catherine and the youngest the twins Joseph and Anastasia. It is possible Thomas fought in the Boer War but I don't know which regiment. I know some men from Fethard were in the Leinster Regiment but the Royal Fusiliers were also recruiting in Ireland. Do you have any knowledge of military service?
