TipperaryYoughalarra (Tipperary)

Hi,

I have come to a complete standstill.

I am looking to find the parents of my ancestor Mathew Hayes who was born about 1802 in Carrigatoher, Tipperary and died in Nenagh in 1864.

His spouse was Ellen Berkery who died in Youghal, Nenagh in 1870.

Their children are;

Mary born 1831

Michael born 1834

Mathew born 1837

Matthew born 1839

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,

Regards

Bruce Hayes

Hi Bruce . . . 

Welcome to Ireland reaching Out . . . and Tipperary . . . 

I began my search . . using " Roots " (paid) . . . for

Mathew Hayes . . b.1802 Tipperary .  +/- 5 years . . . Nothing . . . 

https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0804

If you have the time and the patience . . the above site leads you to Nenagh R.C. Parish records . . . for those years . . .

again . . . I searched for the BIRTH . . of Ellen Berkey . . . b.   ???  1800 . . . Nenagh . . +/- 10+++

____________________________________________________________

Next I searched for a MARRIAGE . . of BOTH . . . 1830 . . . Tipperary . . . +/- 10 years  . . and FOUND  . . (see below)

( witnesses to this marriage were . . . John Ryan and Bryan Farrell ) . .  Brides name spelling . . . is prob. a misspelling of Berkey ( this is a common Tipp. surname )

_____________________________________________________________________________________

DEATH . . of ELLEN . . is 1874 ..Nenagh . . . ( see below ) . . . note . . 1874 . . 67 y.o. . . . . BORN 1807 

___________________________________________________________________________

Next I searched for the DEATH of Mathew Hayes . . . who died 1864 . . . Nenagh . .  NO record . . . 

____________________________________________________________________________

I went back to BIRTH . . of Ellen in 1807 Nenagh . . . NO record . . . 

_________________________________________________________________-

MARY 1831 . . . (see below )

MICHAEL 1834 . .  (see below )

MATHEW . . 1837 (below)

_____________________________________________________________________

There is a TAX roll for the period 1823 - 1837 . . . hundreds of Hayes . . . Tipperary

Eamonn,

The baptisms from Aug 1797 to Feb 1809 are missing from this link https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0804 do you have any suggestions. I am sorry to be a pain but I am new at this as I am taking over from my daughter

Thanks again

Bruce

Hi Bruce . . again . . . . 

First off . . I couldn't understand  your problem  . . . until I decided to go thru the search . . . year by year . . myself

and then I saw your problem . . . 

YES . . . the years  1997 to 1809 are missing . . . (as often happens . . . with old records )  UNFORTUNATELY . . . 

This is why . . when we search . . . Roots / Ancestry . . . we are NOT finding . . the Birth of your Mathew Hayes / Ellen Berkey  c.1802 - 1807 . . 

Sorry for your troubles  . . . BUT . . . 

I even doubt . . if the Professionels  at . . . https://www.tipperarycoco.ie/heritage/genealogy-centre can be of help to you . . as they are researching thru. same sources . . 

________________________________________________________________________________________________

When I go to the records of " Youghalarra " . . . their Register ONLY starts recording BIRTHS . . . in 1828 . . (see below)

SO . . . I wondered if any Berkey's . . . were still in the area in the Census of 1901 . . . and as you will see (above) . .  only TWO of that Surname . . John & Thomas show up . . . 

I did a little better with HAYES in 1901  (see Below)

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Youghalarra/Pallas_More/1700157/

This Mortimer (unusual Christian name) Hayes . . . may very well be . . . related . . because he shows up as a Farm-hand . . on a Farm in Pallas More  (YOUGHALARRA)

(see MAP below)

____________________________________________________________

Again Bruce . . . NO further joy . . . but do research all the above . . . . . 

and . . usefully . . . you might enlist the help of the National School in Youghalarra  . . . 

https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Youghalarra+National+School,+Monroe,+Newtown,+Co.+Tipperary/@52.8790744,-8.438308,11z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x485c9083c4bfb279:0xd9501e0ebd4a2d0e!8m2!3d52.8790744!4d-8.2982323?hl=en-GB

Schools here are all shut up . . . most likely . . until September . . . 

 

Cheers . . . Eamonn.
