Daniel & Alice McCarthy

LimerickCroom (Limerick)

Hi

I am researching my great great grandfather/mother - Daniel McCarthy (16/6/1834-22/6/1914) & Alice Culhane (?-12/9/1897) of Pullagh, Croom.

I've been unable to locate Alice's birth records or their marriage records.  In addition as I hope to visit Croom shortly and wonder is there any way of finding what graveyard they may be buried in?

Also it appears they had a son Patrick McCarthy (DOB 8/10/1879) who may have become priest/christian brother but I'm not sure where I could confirm this.

Any assistance or advice would be gratefully received.

Regards.

Damian

The subscription site Roots Ireland has the marriage record September 5 1858 in Croom. The witnesses were Patrick McCarthy and Margaret Costello. Civil registration of RC marriages did not begin until 1864. They had the following children Mary 1863 Bridget 1865 James 1867 John 1867 Helen 1871 Daniel 1874 Margaret 1876 Patrick 1879

According to rootsireland, Daniel and Alice married in the Catholic parish of Croom, Co. Limerick, on 5 Sept. 1858. Witnesses: Patrick McCarthy and Margaret Costelloe.

See marriage register here: https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634977#page/1/mode/1up

There are eight children shown on rootsireland for this couple.

I hope this is helpful.

Hi Damien,

I am the Croom volunter. I have taken a search for some of the details that you have asked for. The marriage has already been located for you. The next thing you asked about is their burial place. I believe this to be Anhid Graveyard which is situated aprox 3 km outside of Croom on the main Cork Road and 3km from Pullagh . The link below should take you to  www.HistoricGraves.com.

 Here you will find this inscription

Name: 

Alice

Surname: 

McCarthy

Date of death - day: 

12

Date of death - month: 

September

Date of death - year: 

1857

Age: 

63

Given that your Alice died 12 Sept 1897 and this Alice is listed as 12 Sept 1857, I think that there is a transcribtion error and this is your Alice. 

I will try and found out about her son for you. just give me a day or so.
