Hello, I am trying to locate where my family come from in Cork but am having difficulty depicting the words on the image, any ideas?
-
Ignoring the squiggle on the last letter it might be Castlehaven which is a civil / RC parish in south-west Cork.
-
Castle Haven looks like a good match - the squiggle could easily be part of the 'y' from Kilkenny on the details above.
Records are included on IrishGenealogy as the parish of 'Castlehaven and Myross (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/search.jsp?name2=&namefm=&namel=&location=&dd=&mm=&yy=&submit=Search&sort=date&pageSize=100&diocese=CORK+%26+ROSS+%28RC%29&parish=CASTLEHAVEN+%26+MYROSS¢ury=&decade=&exact=&ddB=&ddM=&ddD=&mmB=&mmM=&mmD=&yyB=&yyM=&yyD=&locationB=&locationM=&locationD=&member0=&member1=&member2=&member3=&member4=&member5=&member6=&member7=&member8=&member9=&namef0=&namef1=&namef2=&namef3=&namef4=&namef5=&namef6=&namef7=&namef8=&namef9=&namel0=&namel1=&namel2=&namel3=&namel4=&namel5=&namel6=&namel7=&namel8=&namel9=&keyword=)'

I am in love with this site, thank you sooooooo much Shane and Sonas :-* :'( :-* :'( :-* :'( :-* :'( ;D

Hi again, This may or may not be relevant but if you are tracking the Regans further... There is also a townland called Castlehaven in the parish of the same name.
-
Thank you Sonas.

My Regan Family came from Fermoy-County Cork. Johanna/Annie Regan born - around 1827 and Mary Ann Regan - birth date - unknown
-
My g-grandmother was a Hannah O'Regan, born 1859, apparently in Ballycotton. Her father was Timothy Regan. Dates of birth and death for Timothy unknown, but he was deceased at the time of Hannah's marriage in 1878. I have found on the IFHF webpage a Johanna Regan, born 1859 to a Timothy Regan and Margaret Toomey in Mallow Parish, and a Mary Regan, same parents, born in 1860 in Bearforest, Mallow Parish. Is Ballycotton in Mallow Parish? There is still the possibility that my g-grandmother may have been living at Ballycotton at the time of her marriage, but may have been born elsewhere. ???

.....
Ballycotton is in east Co. Cork on the coast between Midleton and Youghal and quite a distance from Mallow - over 70km.
I think that baptism record you found is probably a different Regan family. Assuming your Regan family were RC then the parish for Ballycotton would be Cloyne.
Where did your Hannah end up, do you have her on later census records ?
p.s. does Hannah's marriage record include an occupation for Timothy ?

Not sure whether the present Ballycotton Roman Catholic Church ('Star of the Sea') was built when Hannah O'Regan was born (about 1859), or whether there is a graveyard there which might contain remains of some O'Regans.
Hannah married William St John O'Neill in the Chapel of Sts Peter and Paul, City of Cork in 1878. William was an accountant, the son of William O'Neil, who had also been an accountant. O'Neil senior died in 1875 of apoplexy and paralysis.
At the time of Hannah's marriage (she was about 19 and a dressmaker living in Patrick Street, Cork), her father was dead. On the marriage certificate his occupation was listed as "Gentleman". I'm not sure what this means.
Hannah and William had five children in Ireland, but two boys died young of TB. They migrated to Melbourne, Australia, arriving in January 1887. They had five more children in Australia, all girls. The eldest of their ten children, Martha Mary, became Mother Mary Patricia, the Head of the Mercy nuns in Australia. The youngest child, Margaret Mary, was my grandmother, Rita Hannan.

I have an Ellen (Helen) Regan born in Cork c 1805. She may of had a sister, Joanna bc 1800. Both women were tried at the Summer Assizes in Cork in 1821 and transported to Australia. Joanna's father is recorded as John on her death certificate.
Any help would be appreciated.
