Cork / Re: Missing birth place - brick wall - O Connell Mallow
« on: Monday 11 December 17 01:38 GMT (UK)  »
I just did a Google search and a census search o  ballinree.  The only thing I can find is the name on the Mallow poor law union record.  Any idea where I could look for records for ballinree?

Also the death record is very interesting i didn't have an age for him before now so at least now I know his date of birth. 

I read something on a post here saying people in the RIC gave occupations such as farmer on documents.  I wonder would it be the same for people in the British Army or else maybe family folklore is incorrect and he was a clerk and not a schoolteacher in the British Army. 

Thanks a million for ye're quick replies. :) :)

Looking to trace the birthplace of my great grandfather.

The facts I have are as follows:

Name: William O Connell - Bill

Birth: somewhere in Mallow date unknown. Came across a record where a possible match recorded a birth place of 'ballinR??? Near Mallow. I have searched townlands and census and can't find a place starting with ballinr.

Father was also William O Connell 
Mother's name unknown.

Occupation: School teacher in the British Army
Rank: Staff quarter master

The following is a timeline of where he lived based on information such as marriage, births of children and family documents.

Sometime before 1905 - Newry, Co. Down
1905 - Old Youghal Road Cork or thereabouts in the vicinity of Collins Barracks/Dillons Cross
1906 - Dublin
1908 - 1909/10 - Ballyhooley Road, Dillons Cross, Cork.
1911 - 1919 approx - Pretoria, South Africa
1919 - 1920 - Ireland likely back in Cork
1920 - 1923 - Stirling, Scotland
1923 - 1943 St. JOHNS terrace Dillons Cross

1943 death buried st. Finbarrs cemetery

Wife - Nellie Hutchinson from Newry, Co. DOWN, got married 1905 St. JOSEPHS church, Mayfield

Children:

Have you tried Leary? Plenty of results in 1901.  Also Hanorah might be worth a try sometimes this would be shortened hot Annie.  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?searchMoreVisible=false&census_year=1901&surname=Leary+&firstname=Anne&county19011911=Cork&county1821=&county1831=&county1841=&county1851=&parish=&ward=&barony=&townland=&houseNumber=&ded=&age=&sex=&search=Search&ageInMonths=&relationToHead=&religion=&education=&occupation=&marriageStatus=&yearsMarried=&birthplace=&nativeCountry=&language=&deafdumb=&causeOfDeath=&yearOfDeath=&familiesNumber=&malesNumber=&femalesNumber=&maleServNumber=&femaleServNumber=&estChurchNumber=&romanCatNumber=&presbNumber=&protNumber=&marriageYears=&childrenBorn=&childrenLiving=

my great - grandmother was Ellen (Nellie) Bohane from Dunmanus, born 1849.  she married Lambert Hutchinson from Lancashire and lived in Scotland, Newry, South Africa, India and aldershot finally settling in Cork city.  Don't know if she is one of your Bohanes but if you have unearthed an Ellen/Nellie in your research I would love to know as I am drawing a blank as to who her family was.  Thanks.

Cork / Re: Noonans from Charleville

Although about 20 minutes drive from charleville town, you could maybe check areas in Tullylease, Freemount/Allow as these are all addresses in charleville here is a link to a family with a james nunan.  the spelling varies between noonan and nunan in my husbands family half his siblings are noonan and the other half are nunan.  With regard to businesses in charleville there is currently a JR Noonan sports and toy shop don't know if they are anything to do with what you are looking for.

I think that may possibly be the same person. His wife Nellie died nearly 30 yrs after him I always assumed he died young however if he was in his sixties that would explain him dying so much earlier. Also I would be completely out on the birth date.  The only child I know of was my grandfather Albert o Connell born 1911 in Pretoria South Africa.  Thanks for all that information it's all very fascinating
