Thanks, Hallmark.

I have had a bit of a browse. Unfortunately the names are all so common that it's hard to pin down :) However, I've just discovered some of the genealogy sites for Ireland, so am having a good search now :)  Have previously used Family Search, Find My Past, and Ancestry trial to get the info I have so far.

Also, I've seen the links in the pinned threads on the Ireland page here, so will be having a look at those, too.

Appreciate the tips!  ;)

Hi Kiwi, Renee and Hallmark. I’m sorry I haven’t replied sooner, I never seem to see these messages until years have passed, but better late than never.
All of your recent posts are fascinating, I will construct a Tree as I find it easier to visualise everything on a Tree and then see if I can find anything else.

Of note is that recently I have discovered that although the line I started my post with ‘may have lived at some time in Cork’ if the family tale is correct, the Bloodline now appears to come historically from County Clare.  So anyone who has similar names to these historically in County Clare in their ancestry, even if they emigrated all over the world subsequently, could be especially interesting.
Sorry to be brief, any ideas or information would be wonderful.  Best wishes all.
Dynan, McNamara, with potentially O’Dea, Casey, Mahoney, O’Neill and other historic Irish, likely Co Clare surname connections.

My Dynan family was from Cork, however Patrick was a farrier, and he worked tirelessly to help get the Cork National Monument in place.  His father was Jeremiah, not sure what other information I will be able to get however, I did find out Patrick, who died in SEPT 1907, was buried in Donoughmore, so I suspect that may be the ancestral town.  Patrick married Kate O'Leary in 1878.  St Marys church.
