It's likely to be the townland of Ballinreeshig, south of the suburb of Douglas in Cork city.

A correct birth record for Christopher Carey also still eludes me.

Does anyone in the family have names of any aunties or uncles?

I've asked Jack's widow if she can ask Jack's only sibling if he remembers the names of his aunts and uncles.  Jacks widow met a few of them in both Limerick & Cork but as she met so many all in one day she can't remember who was married to whom!

New information : Jack's Father Christopher Carey was born in Croome near Limerick

Anyone know where that is and will it lead me to find his birth certificate?

There is a Carey family in Croom town in 1901

can't see them in 1911
Via the daughter Mary's marriage 1906

I believe this is the Carey's in 1911

Looking at the original I don't know where they got the l from!

Not that it helps find Christopher

Hannah she died in 2002.
