Francis had a sister Brigid who married William Couch/Cooch in 1868. They had 5/6 children.

I am related to the Dwyers in County Cork. My ancestors came from Lislevane,Currihefron  and Tiernanayne. These place names are old Irish names for the villages and have subsequently changed to their modern placenames.The parish was Barryroe.

Dont know if there was a tie in with these Dwyers but they also had a Honora in the family b1890.

best wishes and Happy New Year

Paul

hi,
    Francis and Eily Hayes ran a pub and newsagents in Freemount  up to the late 1970 's /80's.
they have since passed away , they had no family.
There are O' Dwyers still alive and well in Freemount.
You probably already have this info, passing it on just in case !

Thankyou joebloggs, I'll be visiting Freemount sometime this year.  I will check out the O'Dwyers.  This could be very interesting!

I'll let you know.

Hi!
Don't know if you got my previous reply.
I think William Couch was my Great,  great Grandfather and one of his sons was Richard Couch and my Grandfather was named Richard Couch also. Born 1898.
My mum was Brigid Couch and grew up in the South side of Cork.
The Couch family originated from Cornwall, where 3 brothers out of 6 settled there. Why I don'the know?
They had a successful bed making factory which was gambled and drank away, leading to poverty.
My grandmother was a Galvin and married Richard Couch Jnr.
She was a first cousin of the playwright and poet Paddy Galvin.
The brothers weRe apparently all Presbertarians, but one brother fell in love with a Catholic women in Cork which led to the start of our family.
Hope all this helps?
Do reply. X

Hi,
Just picked up your info - only a year late - apologies!!
Have come across "Couch"s in Cornwall, but can't find a connection.
You state "South Side of Cork", all my family are definitely "North?/North West Cork"!
I'll have to do some investigation!!
I'll be in touch,
Take Care,
TB
