Ballybarney

[Mr J T Arthur]

If you do one more post I can send you a personal message. What I do know is that Patrick Conlan married Julia Doogue in 1927 and they had about six children, one of them must be your mother or father. I think your uncle told me the family lived near Mullaghmast but moved into the Turf cutter's House at Calverstown Little near Ballymount in the 1930's where the last of the children were born and lived there until 1955.

The Turf cutter's house, formerly known as the Bog Ranger's House was my Cahill ancestral home; we are not related, the only connection being that the families lived in the same house and your uncle has been a great help in giving a description of the place he lived at for about twenty years from the age of eight.

Yes one of the 7 children is my father.  He left ireland in  late 50's and as you say my uncle is quite deaf so its been difficult trying to gather information that will point me in the right direction.

Not really relating to this thread, BUT, my ancestors came from Ballybarney (Dillon's). I was told they were all buried in Davidstown cemetry. I attempted to get into the graveyard, but it seems to have been abandoned long ago and it didn't seem too safe to walk around!!

Does anyone know if any of the inscriptions have been taken down and documented somewhere? 

Regards,
Maureen.

.

Reference the two sisters. I suspect that Mary Conlan was in fact a daughter in law and not a daughter. She is possibly the widow of Patrick Conlan who is listed in the 1901 census. Elizabeth (Cooney) married Thomas Cooney a blacksmith from Carrick on Suir on 17 july 1895. Thomas died in 1903 and the couple had no children. Her brother Daniel worked in Cooneys Forge in Carrick and I suspect that is how Elizabeth met Tom Cooney. Hope this helps.

Hello O S B.
 I too am researching The Conlan Family,and by reading your post think we must be linked!
 I am looking for any information on James Conlans (born abt1830/31) family.
He married Catherine Cleary.
His father and mother were Patrick & Anne Conlan.
 From reading your post I think your great-grandfather and my great-grandfather (James) were brothers?

Yes we are 3rd cousins
I have a photo of what I believe to be your great-gran parents grave
