Can anyone help please with Comerfords in Templemore Tipp.
I am looking for information regarding the family of Thomas and Denis Comerford - they are sons of William and Mary (nee Talbot/Gurbit/Turbit - writing really hard to read) Comerford. Thomas was born circa 1834 and Denis born circa 1837.
They both went to Australia in 1862.
I have never been able to find birth records or marrriage records for their parents.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know if this is a duplicate message or not as I hit a wrong button and my reply just disappeared.
I had to look at Templemore parish records today and had a look for your Comerfords.
Just searched one register from Jan 1827 to Nov 1834.
Baptisms
9 Jul 1832 Jane of William Comerford & Mary Talbot Clonmore
Sprs Patt Martin & Kitty Comerford (condl) that I assume means a conditional baptism and I wonder if Jane survived.
The microfilm is of the original register which is damaged and with some pages out of sequence so it was difficult to get an exact date for this baptism and no days were given.
Oct or Nov or Dec 1834
Denis of Wm Comerford & Mary Talbot Clonmore
Sprs John Burke & Cathne Talbot
When I have time I will look at the other reigsters to see if there are any more family entries but it may be a few weeks before I am able to do so.

annclare....wow that's amazing you found that!
I have searched and searched with no results over years, and spent lots of $ at the IFHF site to no avail (& to be honest the whole north/south Tipperary thing really confused me ???) I had more or less given up..
Is the Clonmore part of her name or is it a place?
Thank you very much..I would appreciate it if you found more entries to let me know (in a few weeks is great..as I say I have been amateurley researching for a few years now!)
Wow!

Just quickly - Clonmore is a townland north east of Templemore town.
See Google map http://maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
Will get back to you again in a few weeks.

Looked again at the Templemore parish records and searched from 1835 to Dec 1840
Only found one entry Baptism 6 Oct 1837
Thos of Wm Comerford & Mary Talbot Clonmore Sponsor Mary Fitzpatrick.
Also looked at marriages for Wm Comerford & Mary Talbot from 1820 -1832 but didn't find any record. This may be because Mary Talbot may come from a parish other than Templemore and the marriage would have taken place in her home parish.

Brenda,
I am doing a bit of research on this family. I think we have a DNA link.
Can you private message me?
Many thanks,
Michael
