Neil, I live in knoxville, Tennessee now but was born in Pennsylvania. That's where my irish ancestor came to rest in America 1863.

You my friend are a long way from Ballyclough. I have a daughter who lives near Cork. On my last visit we drove by a road sign pointing to Ballyclough as we headed West on a shopping trip to Killarney. I was just think today of how on my next trip I need to actually go there and visit the place. 

here's my e-mail Neil - > (*)   drop me a line and I'll send a few photos of the area where my daughter lives.

Hi Neil,

If you don't know of this site already but this is "The" most helpful site you will find in tracing your family in Ireland.

I have been at this research for 13 years.  Where do you live Neil?

Hi Neil,

As far as I know Neil there is not a census of Ireland specifically for the year 1841. There is of course Giffiths valuations which may be searched free of charge via the Internet at the site seen just below.

The only other reference I know of would be the 1826 Tithe lists but of course you would already be aware of both of these references.

Would you happen to know what the population of the parish of Ballyclough would have been in the 1845 time period?

BR,

Tom

I too am researching Sheehan's from Ballyclough. Tim Sheehan born about 1815, Michael Sheehan born about 1817, Elizabeth Sheehan (deaf ) born about 1812. To North America most likely Canada in 1846 then migrated South in to Cambria County, Pennsylvania by 1850. These Sheehan's appear to be cousins. They are not siblings because they do not share the same parentage.  Are any of these given names associated with David's family? I will look up Tim, Michael and Elizabeth's parents and respond again after returning home.
