ODonovan/Finn

TipperaryRelickmurry And Athassel (Tipperary)

Hello!

In March,my family and I will be traveling to the area to locate a grave in Thomastown for the parents or siblings of Anthony ODonovan (b approx 1791 in Tipperary, d 1873 in Madison, WI). Weve been led to believe that their graves are inan old cemetery on the north side of the road in or near Thomastown, off the road back in some fields. We are also trying to track down his wifes family. Her name was Margaret Finn (b approx 1808) they had 6 children: Mary (b 1826), Patrick (b 1829), Anthony (b 1831), Michael (b 1833), Margaret (b 1836), Elizabeth (b 1839).

Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

We don't have a parish liaison in Relickmurry and Athassel civil parish. However, I will contact a parish liaison from a parish further south in Co. Tipperary to see if he can assist.

Fantastic, Roger! 

 

Thank you!  I have details about Anthony & his family, records we've dug up over the years, if that'll be of any help.

Hi Melia 

We meet again .As I said before your Donovan and Finn's from Ardobreen are unfortunately not  buried or at least no headstone in Thomastown . Also they are not in Golden nor Athassel . I have to check Bansha and Killaldriff so fingers crossed

Hi Trish!

Did you see the record that I posted on FB related to your question?  You asked about the leasing document for Anthony O’Donovan. Here’s a link:

# 42 & # 43 are our family.  

Appreciate your help!  Apologies for coming at you from all sides!

Hi Melia

As you can see I mentioned Ardobreen above so i did see it which is always important as it narrows down their residence . If you scroll down the page you will see my crowd. I will get back to you as soon as I hopefully have info for you

Hi Thomas,

Yes - there’s a misspelling on the tithe applotment. No. 42 is likely our Anthony Donovan (Jnthy Doonaun on the link above).  I have a photocopy of what might be the original and to me it looks more like Anthy Doonivan. 

I will call the center when we land in Ireland!  Thanks for the tip!
