Ellen's parents I think are Daniel Driscoll born in 1798, in Caheragh, Cork and Ellen Caghlan born in 1798, Caheragh, Cork.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The Caheragh RC parish records start in June 1818  http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0024  I looked on www.irishgenealogy.ie for a baptismal record for Ellen and did not find one with a mother with a maiden name Coghlan/Caghlan. The only 1819 baptism for an Ellen Driscoll is below. Also if she was born in 1819 she would have been 13 or 14 when married in February 1833. This would have been technically possible with parental permission but not very common.I'm wondering if she was born earlier than June 1818?

www.irshgenealogy does have five baptismal records for John and Ellen's children which I assume you have.

Hey Neil, I'm slightly late to this but I've just started to look through my family tree and wanted to know more about Ellen Driscoll who married John Hurley in 1833. Ellen would be my 4th great grandmother! I'd be happy to chat if you're still searching for other bits. All the best, Lois
