Galway / Re: O'Rorke, O'Rourke, Rourke, Rorke, Uí Ruairc of Galway.

I think I read your story some years ago on a blog post. So I think I know some of it. Sad and surprising to read tbh.  You had a photo of yourself on there and there was a noticeable resemblance to one of my brothers! 
I think the thanks will be going the other way when you find out I’m new to FH research and will be piggybacking on yours! Ha!
I’ve emailed you. I’m also pleased to meet you. I started FH just a week ago!!

I don’t have much.  This is Thomas O’Rorke and Mary Heraghty. Thomas lived in Bagnalstown until he was sent to B’more Eustace for the “air”.  He died there. I was brought to Arles as a child to see all the graves. I saw your pm but I can’t find it now!! I’m new here.  Were you doing a blog a few years back.  I saw it and gave it to my brother who usually deals with family business. He’s older and so knows more. Im surprised he didn’t get in touch with you because we are second cousins! 😀  I was just 10 when my granny (mary Teresa) died and she wasn’t a fan of small kids! So there were no heart to hearts iykwim. Pm me again. Please.

If there’s a way to pm me do.  I am related to Mary Teresa and can fill in some of your blanks.  Not many mind.  I don’t know where Thomas was raised other than it was down a long lane on land with a lake on the Galway Roscommon border.

Kildare / Re: CONLAN from Brownstown

Another question.  You mentioned Suncroft parish and so I presumed you meant the village Brownstown (in Suncroft parish).  However there is another Brownstown townsland closer to Kilcullen. Which is it? Do you know? Carnalway is there Kilcullen one. Not Suncroft.  So Dublin diocese, parish of Kilcullen. Let me know what info you have and I can check either.  Glad to help.

I’ll see what I can find out locally.  Where were the Berneys from?  (Kilcullen has a lot of Berneys) The names Dick, Owen etc don’t ring any bells.  My family was all Maurices Dominics and Julias. But there weren’t any other Conlans in Brownstown that I’m aware of.  It’s easy for me to check as I still live locally. It’ll take a week or two.  It’s Easter holidays here.  I’ll get back to you.

The parish was never Newbridge or Kilcullen.  Newbridge is a new town - only 200 years old - built to house factory workers.  Kilcullen is in a different diocese.

Hi.  My Granny was a Conlan from Brownstown (Knox’s corner) (about 2kms from my home place). The Conlans lived at that spot for hundreds of years.  The parish was Suncroft until the curragh camp was built in the 1800s.  The Diocese is Kildare and Leighin.  What do you need to know? Hi there 👋
