Cork / Re: John Warren from Macroom, married circa 1875
« on: Thursday 11 February 21 20:09 GMT (UK)  »
That's very interesting, thank you.

I don't know how well you can see this image but this is the jigsaw puzzle of family history I am grappling with!  My own family is descended from Quigleys (which may mean we have a connection to the Quigley family in the centre of the image).  In any case we are genetically linked to a group of DNA cousins in the States (we live in England, though my Dad is from Dublin) and the red numbers show the connections in centimorgans.  They all seem to be descended from Warrens from the Macroom area.

I'm trying to work out how the (currently separate) branches of the tree shown in image might be linked.  It seems possible that we are all descended from someone called Warren living in Macroom, and that person may have been born around 1830 or so.  Any comments or suggestions would be very welcome.  I feel like I need some fresh eyes!

Thanks, great, no I wasn't aware of them ... and siblings are exactly this kind of leads I need. 

This looks like it might be another one ... Margaret Warren (again daughter of Michael, a labourer):
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1881/10996/8020512.pdf

Although this marriage takes place in Ballincollig, Margaret's marriage to William Aherne looks like it produces a son, Denis the following year, but born much closer to Macroom in the parish of Kilmurry.

Unfortunately, I can't read the name of the building where Margaret & William's marriage took place or the location of their residence at the time.  I wondered if anyone could help?  Many thanks

Yes, you're right,  this is something I only noticed after reading the link to the marriage record yesterday.  The marriage record I had previously didn't have these the ages recorded.  The earlier birth date I have now looks unreliable (the marriage record is more convincing to me) and I need to rethink.  However I think it unlocks some possibilities for me thank you

Cork / John Warren from Macroom, married circa 1875
« on: Saturday 30 January 21 14:52 GMT (UK)  »
I'd be grateful for any information or suggestions as to the family (particularly parents or siblings) of John Warren who appears to have been born in the Macroom area in 1838, and married Margaret Murphy in about 1875.  They seem to have had five children born in the same area (Michael J, Hannah/Johannah, Mary, Annie, and Katie/Catherine) and then emigrated to New York and had a two further children Maggie and John.  I have a genetic connection to their descendants in the USA but would like to find any family that stayed in Ireland. Many thanks

Cork / Any other details of Quigley family of Kilmurry
« on: Sunday 03 June 18 08:54 BST (UK)  »
If anyone can help find any more details of this family I'd be very grateful. Im trying to work out where William Quigley and Hannah (/Anna/Ann) Warren might have come from. I believe they might have emigrated to New York when their daughter was young, but might also have come back at some point.

The link/image below is to a church record of the birth of Hannah Quigley in 1876 in Kilmurry

Monaghan / Re: Descendents of Quigley twins born Clones, 1913

Thanks again to everyone for their contributions.  I have to say I’m impressed with you lot.

I'm glad you said that hallmark – I thought Dodson was the best match too. 

The info on Annie McGinn’s pub is also useful – if I don’t contact them I’d like to visit sometime!

Thanks myluck! For the details on the Beggans/Beagans, and for the tip to look in PRONI records.

Rathmore, I appreciate the birth record - I would never have made the link with Phillippus Quigly.
Not sure about the nun(s), but anything’s possible

Overall, some useful background but I’m still not sure it’s my family, although there’s some consistencies.  The Kathleen at Theresa’s marriage in Dublin is looking less like our Kathleen from Clones, as there was a Kathleen Dodson who had been living nearby in Rathmines (from 1911 census) and who would’ve been 35 at the time of the marriage.  Theresa might be hard to trace too – there are not a shortage John O’Briens out there.

I also need to work on finding siblings for Philip Quigley (b.1871).

I any case, your suggestions have helped me make lots of progress

Thanks very much for the welcome and for all the helpful suggestions.

Heywood, well, is it my family? - you’re asking a question I’m asking myself. But so far it seems like it might be. 

Thank you Sinann and gaffy for the links to irishgenealogy.ie. They all seem good. Most of my research has been in England so I wasn’t familiar with this site. Seems very useful. 

It’s a shame the marriage certificate isn’t so clear. I’d love to know what Kathleen’s surname is – Dodson? Budgen? Anyone else hazard a guess? (see attached image)

If anyone comes up with any more links, by all means please share them.
Many thanks,
P
