Looking for Town, Parish, or Village of Johanna Driscoll Born June 1858

Hello, I have spent the last 5 years compiling my family ancestry. I have 2Great Great grandmothersand 1Great Grandmother and 1 great Grand Fatherwho were born in Ireland.I have not been able to pinpoint the location of any of their families. Through a death certificate I was able to get the birthdate and parents names of my great Grandmother.

Johanna Driscoll born June 24 1858 (info given by daughter on death certificate)to John Driscoll and Johanna McCarthy. Through DNA testing we know we have West Cork and Beara Penninsula Roots. Since Johanna is the one I have parents names for I though I would start with her. When I searched the IrishGeneology Church Records there were no Obvious matches. Any help in locating the parish or town this family may have come from would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Mike Herman

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I also went thru www.irishgenealogy.ie ; and did not find a good match. There is a John Driscoll/Mary McCarthy couple in Clonakilty and also a John Driscoll/Betty/Bessy McCarthy couple in Caharagh Cork and also a John Driscoll/Honora McCarthy in Tralee Kerry.

Have you identified any siblings to Johanna and their years of birth?
