MALONE of CORNDOG , CO WICKLOW

John Malone and family held about 8 acres, sublet from the HOPKINS in 1827.at Corndog

John's wife was Mary and I believe she was the MARY NOWLAN who married in 1816 at KILAVENEY

The family remained at Corndog until 1848 when they emigrated.

As the eldest son appears to have been a Patrick I would suggest that John's father was a PATRICK MALONE

If anyone can provide additional information it would be appreciated ...especially as it might shed light on the HOPKINS connection.

Hello mrrosshopkins,

I found the Catholic baptism transcriptions for seven children of John Malone and Mary Nowlan at the Find My Past (FMP) website.

Five of the children were baptized in the Catholic Parish of Killavaney. This parish spans the borders of County Wexford ad County Wicklow, as you can see in this map from the National Library of Ireland: https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0568?locale=en

County Wexford on the map is represented in the darker blue, and County Wicklow by the lighter blue.

I also found the baptism transcriptions for two more children of John Malone and Mary Nowlan. These children were baptized in the Hacketstown Catholic Parish. This Catholic parish was in the Civil Parish of Moyne. Corndog, according to the IreAtlas Townland Data Base, was located in the Civil Parish of Moyne. See: https://tinyurl.com/3r3386b7

If you go back to the map from the National Library of Ireland,you'll see that the Hacketstown Catholic Parish, in County Wicklow, borders the Catholic Parish of Killavany.

The names of the Malone children, along with their years of baptism, and Catholic Parish where they were baptized, are below:

Ann Malone, 1817, Killaveny

Patt Malone, 1819, Killaveny

Cathere Malone, 1821, Killaveny

Mary Malone, 1824, Killaveny

Joseph Malone, 1825, Killaveny

Eugenius Malone, 1831, Hacketstown

Anne Malone, 1834, Hacketstown

----

You'll see there is an Ann Malone baptized in 1817, and an Anne Malone baptized in 1834. What this tells you is that the first-born Ann Malone had died sometime between her birth in 1817, and the birth of her sister Anne in 1834.

You'll also see there is a gap of 6 years between the baptisms Joseph in 1825 and Eugenius in 1831. John and Mary could possibly have had more children in this time period whose baptisms do not exist anymore or may not have been digitized.

I can send you the FMP baptism transcriptions for each of the seven Malone children if you request them in a follow-up reply. I can also send you copies of their original baptism records from the National Library of Ireland in Dublin, if you request them.

In the meantime, attached to this reply is an Ordnance Survey Map of Corndog, County Wicklow. The map is from the 1829 to 1841 time period, and comes from the Tailte Eireann website.

On the map you'll see a river that runs north and east of Corndog. This is the River Vartry.

Corndog is the English spelling of the townland. In Irish it is "Corr an Daig," which means "Round the Point."

Kind Regards,

Dave Boylan
