Butler's of Cloghpook, Kilkenny

[Jim Greig]

I would like to hear from anyone who may be researching this family.

Known marriages and associated families are:
1929 Michael Butler & Mary Byrne - Tullabrin, Kilkenny
1877 Patrick Butler & Bridget Brennan - St.Johns, Kilkenny
1829 Michael Butler & Catherine Donnelly - St.Johns, Kilkenny
This branch of the Butler's has a 300 year plus association with a small farm in Cloghpook.

I have checked the 1901 & 1911 census and spent a small fortune looking for records on the RootsIreland web site.

Ideas for additional avenues for research would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim!
I too am researching Butlers of Kilkenny - alas a rather gargantuan task! My great-grandfather Michael Butler married Mary Costelloe in 1873. Tracing his forebears has been very difficult, but I think there may be a connection with the Tullabrin (now Tullowbrin) area. According to his death certificate (1899) he was born 1849-50. The Costelloes were farmers in Tullobrin and through rental agreements etc I have established a sort of business link between Andrew Costelloe and Mary Quirke. Michael Butler married a Mary Quirke, both of Mount Nugent, (not necessarily the same person) in 1835 and they had at least 4 children (James 1837, John 1843, Michael 1845 and Michael 1849.
Do you have any indication that this family was connected with the one at Cloghpook?
Btw I found this in the petty sessions for 1851, through Find My Past:
