Desmond/Buckley of Ardagh

[desmond-pearson-fh]

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone is also researching Desmond or Buckley family from the Ardagh area. My maternal grandfather was Timothy Desmond (1869-1933 I believe). He married Margaret Buckley and they ended up in Cobh. He had a brother George (b1871)
Cheers,
Cal.

The 1911 census for Cork shows a likely match:-

TIMOTHY (age 38), born Limerick together with wife Maggie and children Mary, Timothy, John James, Ethel, Joseph and Margaret

GEORGE (age 37), born Limerick together with wife Kate and children John George and Kate.

Many thanks for the info. I had found the info for Timothy on http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie , but for some reason I didn't find George 
Both my parents died in 2008 and I have little to work with as my mother destroyed most of the family photos and documents during the early stages of Alzheimer's.
However, I'll keep plodding on!
I don't where abouts you are, but if you ever need anything looking up/researching in the UK - especially in the Tyneside/North East areas of England let me know and I'll help in any way I can. My local family history society has a lot of  resources in it.
Slainte/Shalom,
Cal

I dont see a match at the moment for the marriage of Timothy and Margaret around Cork or Limerick, but there is a good match for the birth of one on the daughters :

 Name: Ethel Desmond
 Registration district: Cork
 Event type: Birth
 Quarter and year: Jul-Sep 1905
 Volume : 5 / Page : 160

If it's the correct family then a  cert would confirm mother's maiden name.

see :  Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon
         Details included on a Birth Cert

1911 census link for reference

Dear Shane
Many thanks for all your help! I've progressed so much in my research with your (and aghadowey and LH's) aid.
I'm going to have to bite the bullet and talk to my surviving relatives - haven't talked to me since my folks deaths in 2008 - families, can't live with them, can't research without them 
Joining here is one of the best things I have ever done - just hope that I can help other people in the future.
Slainte/Shalom,
Cal
