Limerick / Michael and Catherine Liston family Lisnagry
« on: Tuesday 06 January 26 03:00 GMT (UK)  »
My Grandmother was Mary Ellen (Maria) Liston. Born 20 Aug 1876 in Athlacca, Co Limerick. She was the youngest of 12 children
Her parents were Michael Liston and Catherine Liston, married 14 Feb 1858, in Caherelly.  They moved from Caherelly to Lisnagry sometime after Mary was born.

Mary was a parlour maid working at Ashroe House for John Beatty Barrington for many years. She married John McCarthy in 1907 and had a son William.
In 1914 she left Ireland and her son and moved to Australia with David Fitzgibbon (from Mongfune, Murroe). I have no idea why she left, or anything about John McCarthy.
She and David Fitzgibbon both died abt. 1930 leaving two boys David 14 and Jack 12 as orphans near Warwick QLD.
I only have one photo of Mary with her son William in 1914.
I am hoping that these Listons may turn up on someone’s family tree. Any clues would be great. 😊

Hello Rachel

So far I have only been researching the actual family of my grandmother. They seem to be separate from the Listons in Glin but could be related further back. What I put in my post earlier is all I have found as yet.
My Catherine Liston was born !9 Aug 1870 in Caherelly, Parish/District of Caherconlish, to Michael Liston and Catherine Bennett and  married Philip Burns, 7 Feb 1892 at the R.C. church in Castleconnell. She was witness at the death of her mother in 1898 in Mountshannon.

Michael Liston was a herdsman or caretaker in Caherelly when he married in 1858.
If I come across any connection to the Listons in Glin I'll be pleased to let you know.

Hello Gaffy
Thank you so much for the records you posted. I haven't been into Familysearch much for a while.
I obtained a copy of Mortimer's marriage from Rootsireland. It is the right one. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Catherine (Bennett) Liston d 11 May 1898 at Mountshannon aged 57

This info is from Rootsireland.

It may be that Martin and Mortimer are the same person.

I thought that maybe someone out there may be doing research into the Listons from Limerick Co. and have come across this family, or even be related.


Thanks to a friend in Chicago, I now have  lots of info on my grandfather's Fitzgibbon side of the family, so I'm turning my attention to the Listons.

Thanks for your quick reply

Limerick / Liston family Caherelly & Lisnagry
« on: Saturday 28 June 14 06:28 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the family of Michael Liston and Catherine Bennett. They lived at Caherelly until about 1870s then moved to Lisnagry. They were married 14 Feb 1858 in Caherelly.  They had lots of children, my Grandmother Maria (Mary Ellen) was the youngest, born 1876. I have records of the births of most of the children but don't know how to find who the daughters married and when any of them died or migrated etc.
I am wondering if anyone knows anything about this family.

Thank you, Marie (from Australia)

Thanks very much for your reply.

I was hoping that there might be some way that I could find out if he's the right bloke without paying all that money for a certificate just to get a clue. I guess I'll probably have to eventually.

The William McCarthy that I'm interested in was born 5 Jul 1907 in Lisnagry and in the 1911 census, I think I found him living with his father's parents William and Catherine McCarthy in Lisnagry Co. Limerick. His father just vanished and his mother (my grandmother) came to Australia in 1915, died 1930. She is my father's mother. It's just an interesting mystery.

Thanks again for your trouble.

Limerick / William McCarthy
« on: Monday 01 November 10 06:07 GMT (UK)  »
A William McCarthy died Jul - Sep 1925 in Limerick aged 18. I found this information on FamilySearch. 
 i would like to find out his parent's names because if they are Mary Ellen Liston and John McCarthy it would solve a family mystery. It was always thought that he migrated to USA with his father but I think he may have stayed in Limerick.
I'm not sure that the death certificate would show the info I need. I'm hoping that someone might point me in the right direction.

Hi Flemmo

Thanks for your info. It would be great if you and your Flemings were relatives.
I haven't found out much more, but this is a little bit extra.

William and Ellen Fleming's marriage on 25 Jan. 1868. He was 32 and she was 26. The witnesses were Timothy Fleming and Margaret McNamara. Roman Catholic Chapel of Boher.

David Fitzgibbon was baptised 10 August 1878 at Mongfune Parish/District Murroe & Boher.

I hope you have lots of luck with your visit to Limerick. Please let us know how you get on.

Regards, Marie
