Lamahorse,
I believe I’m related to the McCarthy family of Mohonagh by marriage ( I’ll need to check my notes).
My mother was in Killaderry,a Bohane,she was the youngest but one in a family of ten children. Her endest brothers were adults.
My Mum remembers the Black and Tans raiding their farm on more than one occasion. She said it was terrifying. They’d just turn up at the farm house and search through everything. 😢

Kiltsglassan,
This Patrick Hegarty is my Grandmother’s brother so my great uncle.
There’s a huge gap in ages.
My mother was the one from youngest in the Bohane family from Killaderry she was born 1918
Her mother ( my grandmother ) was Ellen Hegarty born 1877 who married Peter Bohane of Killaderry.
Her Mother was Mary Driscoll from Drishane
And Mary’s parents were William Driscoll and Anne Attridge.

Hi Lama horse,
I’ve just returned from my annual pilgrimage to Skibb.
Yes,I’ve read about the Bohane who was found on the road close to Tragumna. It was a th junction of the boreen going to the Killaderry Townland where a variety of Bohane families lived then and live now.
My mother was born there and I can trace us back to 1800 on that site.
There must be a link between all the Bohane families in Killaderry but so far I haven’t worked it out !
My grandfather was Peter Bohane his father Michael and his father before that another Peter.
The next door farm was John Bohane who died about fifteen years back. I met people who told me we were first cousins but I didn’t have time to talk in depth as a lift was waiting for me..
I am currently trying to sort out the link of the Bohanes of Killaderry to the estate of land owned by the Townsends of Castletownsend. The land was taken from a man named Phelan in the Cromwellian settlements. I understand that it is possible that Bohanes lived there back then ! The connection was found in the Landsdown library in London and the original script is in Bowood House which is about two miles from where I now live. That in turn is about a mile from where all my English family are from. It’s linked to research over Catholics andvProtestants back in the 1600s . I believe it’s named Penders List.

Hi,
I’m in Skibbereen at the moment.
I’ve an appointment to check some research linking my Hegarty family to William O’Driscoll and Anne Attridge.
I think I need to up date my paper version of my family tree. I find it much easier to work on paper !
I use the main genealogy sites for research which I then begin to check with Ireland ie.
It gets complicated when the Christian names repeat but in some ways that’s a help. eg if Cornelius turns up I know it’s not likely to be one of mine !
I’m pretty certain that we are linked . My great grandmother was McCarthy and the other O’Driscoll so that’s a good start !
I’ve found lots of links in the town newspaper. Death reports often give those that attended the burial starting with the immediate relatives and working down to friends.
I bring my paperwork genealogy over with me from England. We come on the ferry so I have about four bag fulls.
Today I’ve spent checking through some old research. I’ve not looked at my Irish bits since last summer. That’s due to the fact that I have inherited my late Dad and late Aunt’s English research some of which goes back to 1946 ! There’s a room full of it ! Before we came over I had the local history office conservation guy look at it as I don’t want it to disintegrate !
If I find any thing new while here I’ll try and get back to you.😃

Hi,sorry I’m so late replying.
I work on my Irish genealogy in the summer when I’m home.
Yes ,you must be related to me. My grandfather was Peter Bohane born 1864 and died 1944
His father my great grandfather was Michael Bohane and before that another Peter Bohane.
My grandfathers older sister was Mary Anne who married and moved to Moghana ( sorry about spelling ) There are living dcendents from this branch still in Skibbereen.
Also decedents from Peter living in Skibbereen,the USA and the UK.
Next was a sister named Catherine but I’ve been able to find nothing on her though I’ve been looking for twenty years ! I’ve an appointment at The Skibbereen Heritage Centre next week and searching for Catherine is on my list.
After that was John or Johnnie who went to the USA. He was the point of contact for those who emigrated.
Next was Michael who married Agnes Leonard. They lived in Bridge Street in Skibb and ran a pub. Some of their decedents live in the UK.
It is amazing to know that having spread so far many of us are still in contact due to the internet.
When I was a child my Mum used to bemoan the fact that airmail letter paper was so expensive and she was losing contact with her American brothers and sisters.
My grandfather Peter Bohane born 1864 married Ellen Hegarty from Laharadane ( the next door townland) Ellen’s sibling emigrated and I had no idea where they were. I had some support on Roots Chat from a wonderful person who suggested I look in Montana. And there they were ! Correct parents names and correct townland. Discovered my Mum had first cousins that she knew nothing about 😢If anyone can add to this please message or if you think I could help please ask .

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Where to look for those who are English but the child possibly born in France.
« on: Wednesday 10 April 24 16:09 BST (UK) »
At the moment I think it’s a resounding YES !
I know everything about Louisa from the age of thirteen. I now have evidence to link the other Maslin’s together.
When you mention christenings ,I’ve a feeling that that Amelia and Sarah were baptised but later.
I do know that Louisa’s step children ( from a relation ship her husband John had,don’t ask !!!) were christened at least twice as children and then as adults so there is a bit of a pattern in that bit of the family.
Many thanks again. I’ll now need to get it all down on paper ! Or computer !✨🌟✨

About 100 paper files of Maslin,Perry of Devizes. Banks of Potterne, Lacock and Enfield.
I’m on Ancestry,Find my Past,Genes reunite and Heritage. There are bits of more recent family on some of these. I’m not brilliant at adding info so find there may be two sisters who are the same person and I can’t get rid of it !!! Not very computer literate. I was a teacher until retirement and my seven year olds would teach me ICT !!!
I’m also half Irish and that’s on paper and also on line in parts. That is all my own research going back to 1800 which is pretty good for Ireland. I’m currently working on linking my grandparent’s land ownership to a document found in the 1800’s Bowood House near Lacock . Which will be an amazing coincidence to have my Irish family linked to my English family back in the 1600 s!
That’s not on line as it’s investigative at the moment.

Hi all !
I am totally blown away by this research ! Completely understand the “possible” links in all this but it makes so much sense.
Upavon was where my late Aunt thought Sarah may have been born as the illegitimate daughter of an Elizabeth!
To say I’m excited by all of your efforts and everything you have all done is putting it mildly !
I just want to phone my Dad and Aunt to tell them but of course they have already died.
I am so sorry that I can’t thank you all personally….you have no idea how much this means to me.
As a child I was brought up thinking everyone did genealogy and I’d picked up so much info along the way. Then I started working with my Dad and Aunt and looking things up for them eg National Archives online. My study is full of our research. To complicate matters the John Perry that Louisa Elizabeth marries inherited a huge amount of money,shares,land and property in around 1870.
That was one of the reasons the reasearch began. Where and why had all the money gone ?
Don’t worry….i know a
L the answers to that part of the story !
I really love the explanation that is fact and fiction because that is how we solved the later part.
Begin with facts with evidence, look for strong possibilities to either include or exclude ( with evidence) and continue checking every bit. And then of course going back to check again as new info is released and is on line or has access.
I am so grateful. Thank you for such wonderful research. Now to get my brain up a gear or two and set to work !!! ✨🌟✨
