Honora/Norah Burgess nee Smith - Borrisokane Co. Tipperary

Hi Eliza,
Are you in Ireland?
This is Nora's Death Record
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…
It says that her neice Delia Hogan was present at the death, the place was Kylepark. This is to the left of Borrisokane. (this was also the address on Henry Smith's birth record.
Delia is Bridget's daughter. (Delia has an elder siater called Julia.)

In familysearch.org    Delia married in 1955 but this doesn't say who to.
this is Nora's mother's death

1901 this is Nora at home

Hope this is a help.

Hi Margot

Thanks for your help, and yes I am in Ireland :) . I have found this information already. I know Delia marries a man named Christopher Carty/Carthy in 1955, but I don't know anymore beyond that. 

I thought perhaps some of Delia's family might know some more about Nora, even perhaps where she is buried. I know Nora's sister Bridget Hogan is buried in the Old Terryglass Cemetery along with her husband. But I couldn't find any Burgess or even Carty/Carthy's in that cemetery.

Thanks again for your help Margot

Hi Eliza,
I have looked at all the Tipperary lists for graves, can't see them either.

In the Ardcroney list, it has my Grandfather and Grandmother listed.
My Grandfather was burried in Modreeny. 
He was burried with His Mother, Father Grandmother and Grandfather and also 2 Uncles. the graves are in a row, the names are weathered away.
The only way you would find out is to find who the Funeral Director was, then ask them where they were burried.
I am always looking around graveyards so if I ever see any I will take a picture.
Margot

Thanks Margot. 

I can try look for funeral directors, who were around in the 1950's. Not sure how far back their records would go, but its worth a shot.

Hi Eliza,

Unfortunately I don't have any information regarding Norah for you. However, it is with interest that I note the Smith/Cahalan connection.

My great-grandfather John Smith (b. 1843 to John Smith and Catherine Walkins), from Lorrha, emigrated to Australia in 1864 and was sponsored by Michael Cahalan. John was born in Abbeville, which is only a stone's throw from Borrisokane... John married Mary Darcy (b. 1846 in Terryglass to James Darcy and Catherine Mara) shortly after her arrival in 1866 in the town of Braidwood, NSW with James Cahalan as a witness. 

It is fairly obvious that the Smiths and Cahalans knew each other - do you have any further ion on Patrick Smith and Judith Cahalan?

Cheers,

Mario

Hi Mario

Thats really intersting, I love finding out new pieces of information about this.

When you say your great-grandfather was sponsored by Michael Cahalan - do you mean baptismal sponsor or an immigration sponsor?

I have baptismal records for both Patrick Smith & Judy Cahalan, I have their marriage record, and their death records also. I also have the baptismal records of their siblings, and the death records of their parents. I can send them onto you if you are interested?

Thanks for getting in touch, I'd love to hear more about your family history, if you'd be willing to share

All the best

Eliza 

Hi Eliza,

Michael Cahalan was John Smith's immigration sponsor. I'm fairly certain that the Cahalan family lived in the same townland (Cornalack) as the Darcy family in Terryglass at the time of Mary's birth so believe that all 3 families knew each other...

I'd be very keen to compare notes so please contact me at the following email address: mario@vecchi.com.au
