Bere Island Cousins

[lowneymoriarty]

Hi
 I am new to this so please be patient.
     My grandmother was Frances Moriarty from Bere Island. She immigrated to Boston Mass USA around 1905. She subsequently married Dennis Lowney also from Bere Island. To my knowledge she had at least 2 sisters who also immigrated to Boston. She had an older sister Kit whose married name was Rumley. The other sisters married name was Saunders. There were cousins from Lowell MA named Hardiman who were from the same part of Ireland.
Frances and Kit each had large families. Kit's tribe is mostly female so you may not find many Rumleys in your search. There are plenty of Lowneys in the area.
I hope that this has been helpful.

My name is Sheila and I'm new to the list.

 I am tracing my Bere Island family, does any one have O'Sullivan (Ukirre)  Harrington (Causkey)   Harrington (Caupey) or O'Leary (Reen)  in their trees.

I do have some information, but I know there must be some relitives on Bere Island

Hope someone may be able to help.

Thank you

Sheila

Hello

My Grandmother always told me that we were the Sullivan Bere's and the last people to be defeated by
the English and that her family came from Bere Island.  I have only recently discovered how extraordinary our family was having googled Bere Island as my 9 year old son is doing a project on Islands of the
world.  As I live in Herfordshire in England and have never been to Cork and my mother grew up in Kerry even though my Grandfather was Patrick Doody who was also from Cork.

My son and I would now love to visit Cork and Bere Island.  How amazing is Google that we have learnt so much about our family.

If I am related to anyone I would love to hear from you.  My Grandmother's name was Elizabeth Clifford but her mother (Sullivan Bere family) was called Caatherine Sullivan Gowan.

My name is Barbara Lynch.

Happiness to everyone in Ireland.
