Stapleton of Ballycahill

[Matchless]

Hi, I am trying to trace my Irish family tree, I have discovered that my G.G.Grandfather came from Ballycahill, he was Thomas Stapleton, born in Ballycahill in 1835.  His father was William Stapleton and his mother was Jane Stapleton and Thomas had a sister named Anne.  This is all I have found so far, can anyone help with information on this Ballycahill Stapleton family please.

Thomas Stapleton married Honora Carroll in 1860 and shortly afterwards they left Ireland and settled in Guernsey in the Channel Islands.  I have been able to trace the family in Guernsey but it is the Irish family pre-1860 I am having trouble tracing.  Any help would be appreciated.  Dave.

....

what denomination were your Stapleton family, and which Ballycahill did you find the baptism in (i.e. which parish) ?

There seems to be three townlands in Co. Tipperary name Ballycahill, so the records, dates and availability will differ....

see : Introduction to Irish Records
        My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?

p.s. as well as the townlands, the there's also a Civil/Church of Ireland parish named Ballycahill, and an RC parish named 'Ballycahill & HolyCross'

Hi Shane, Thomas and Honora were married in Holycross so I guess that's the Ballycahill I am looking for.  Dave.

The Holycross Ballycahill parish records start in 1835 so there may be a chance that it is possible to find Tom Stapleton's birth/baptismal details but very little of earlier family members.
Will send you  PM but can only do so if you have made three postings.

Hello Annclare,  Thank you for the information, I already have the birth, baptismal and marriage records for Thomas and Honora, that's as far back as I have been able to go.  I am really interested in Thomas' father and mother William and Jane, and of course any extended family I can find.  Dave.

I had a look at the Holycross Ballycahill RC parish registers and there was nothing additional to what you already have - no other siblings for Thomas apart from Anne baptised 6 May 1838 parents William Stapleton and Jane Cullagh Sprs William Cullagh and Ann Stapleton no townland recorded.
There were a number of other Stapleton families with children baptised  - the townlands were Ballyoughter and Ballinahow. Might give some clue.

there are a 2 family of cullaghs living in ballinahow at present. they are probably the cullaghs mentioned above. and actually there is a william cullagh living in ballycahill village.

Hi!

I'm of the Stapletons of Monsea/Nenagh/Loghorna/Sedgemoor, specifically a Patrick Stapleton b.c.1812 who farmed in the area of the latter two.

This is probably not too useful for you, though!
