Noswaith dda/ Dia Duit, from Cymru. I am interested in a possible marriage/ connection between Donovan and Santry, within the Leap/ Tullig/ Reenescrena area of West Cork. The Catholic parish would be, Kilmacabea.
Because of the copious amount of Donovan families in this area, families were often assigned an additional tag. My Donovans were and, I believe, are still known as Sean Og.
Hope to hear from somebody.
Diolch yn fair/ go raib maith agat/ thanks Keith

You haven't given an idea of date.
There are 6 Donovan Santry marriages in Clonakilty reg district on Irish Genealogy

Probably easiest would be Santry ones...
Just put Santry in, and Clonakilty as District and search.....nothing else

Thanks Sinann. I am looking around the 1800-1820 era. The family I am looking for would have resided around the Leap (more specifically Tullig) area. I have my Donovan family here, looking to establish a link between Donovan and the leader of the 1798 Rebellion in West Cork, Tadhg an As Asia (O'Donovan). It was passed down the generations in my family, that we are related.
As you well know, there are so many Donovans in West Cork! My Donovan were/ are known as, "Sean Og," apparently tags were used to distinguish the many families. I have it on good, local authority, that the Sean Og and the Santry families are related, trying to find that link.
Diolch yn fawr/ go raib maith agat/ thanks. Keith Cymru!

Hi,
I haven't read all of your thread..... but am interested in the Donovan's.
And looking at their arrival into Australia on the 'Tasmania' in 1858.
And I did notice there was a Tim Sauntry on board, named straight below the Donovans.
(By the way, nothing could be tracked further on Lawrence Donovan (some think it could be Timothy - a misprint).
Here is the link -

Or Search PROV, Tasmania - the arrival was December 1858.
