Title: Jerimiah Delohery and Catherine Sheehan County Cork
Post by: Tangles on Saturday 24 July 10 07:51 BST (UK)

Hi,
Can anyone help please.

Looking for any information on Jerimiah DELOHERY and his wife Catherine SHEEHAN from County Cork

Jerimiah Delohery's occupation was a cattle dealer.

Possible marriage about 1815-1817, give or take a few years.
One known child Thomas Delohery born c.1817

Not sure if Delohery is the correct spelling of the surname.

Many thanks to anyone who can help with this family.

Cork is a big county (largest in Ireland)..do you know what part of county they came from ?

To check for early parish records you will need to know the parish they lived in and what religion they were, but note that not all parishes have records going back this far.

Some parish records for the county are available (free) at : http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/  At the moment this includes RC records for the diocese of Cork & Ross and includes parts of Cork City and west of the county. More records are due to be added soon.

Other records (mostly east and north county) are available on a the pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation - http://www.rootsireland.ie/

Hi Shane sorry that I haven't answered your reply until now been offline.....

That's my biggest problem tracing this family I don't know what parish they came from it only has County Cork on the death certificate of their son Thomas Delohery when he died here in Australia and I haven't been able to find his arrival to New South Wales either all I know is that he arrived here around 1841-43 with his wife Margaret and possibly a daughter Catherine

I will check out the links that you have given me.
Many thanks tangles
