Connell in Charleville?
Hello,
We are planning to visit next month and I am trying to research my husbands family. His emmigrant ancestor was James Connell, Roman Catholic and supposedly born in 1816. His death certificate and gravestone only say, native of Co. Cork, but family stories claim they were from Charleville and his father was Michael. However, based on naming patterns the family continued to use for generations, I think his father could have beenJohn.
I have a subscription to Ancestry and rootsireland, but struggle to find any records for James baptism, in part because I am unclear about Charleville. Was/is it Charleville located inCork or Limirick County? Was/is it part of the Cloyne Diocese?I have found some records that could be a match, however they say Ballihea or Shandrum, which appear to be nearby?
Any insight into geography or diocese would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much!
