...
 I know he wasnt married in 1901  and Kitty was born in 1919 so he must of got married between 1901 and 1919.
....

I am trying to trace a marriage of michael leonard born 1876 from reengaroga ireland to a annie nolan born 1891 sydney australia.
...

wouldn't 1901 be a bit early for the marriage if Ann was born in 1891 ?

Have you found Michael on the 1911 census ?

Hopefully you've worked this part out but just in case........
Reengarorga is 'Reengarorga Island' or even spelt 'Ringarorga Island'.
The spelling does vary.
It is just near Rath (Rathmore), Tullagh
So its off the Skib to Baltimore Road but just outside of Baltimore.
There's a nice stone bridge joining it to the mainland.

There are various parts to the Island including Donegal, Inane, Gortnalicky, Gortaliscaw and Gortadrohid.   These are used in the 1901/1911 Census as 'Townland' and the DED (electoral division) as Cape Clear.

Some residents  had their birth place recorded as 'Baltimore' rather then Rath or Reengarorga.

Various Leonard families were found on the Island and around Rath (and still are).

The catholic church at Rath is St Mary's and the local pub is the 'Sibin' which I believe Michael Collins used to frequent.

The area had many fisheries and I believe a larger population in the late 1880's to 1930's.

My family immediate and ancestral families are from the area and I've obtained documents via the Skibereen Heritage Centre.

Hope this is of interest.

Thankyou for the information I have found out my Great grandad Michael Leonard his dad was from the area a Owen Eugene Leonard and Catherine Driscoll. Owen I believe was born about 1831.  My grandad was also called Eugene but he left their and went to England to fight in WW2.  I am not sure if Michael Leonard took over his fathers farm.

Hi, I hope this is right but think that Reengaroga is part of the parish of Rath & the Islands. Just in case you don't know, these parish records are available at www.irishgenealogy.ie. Always been fascinated by the name Reengaroga - it has great poetry in it!

Thankyou yes I did know my great great grandad was from there, I also found a facebook page about this area and have been speaking to some people who say they are going to ask the older generation if they can remember my family.  Thankyou.

Feesca1,  I think I may be related to your Michael Leonard.  I would like to learn what you know about him and other Leonards on Reengaroga. I am new to RootsChat. While I wait for a reply from you I will try to learn about how to best and safely share information with each other that includes current living people. Thank you.
