Quinlan in Kilcooly Parish

GalwayKilcooly (Galway)

Hello,

Because of a DNA match, I am looking for Quinlans in the Loughrea area.  I found Quinlans in the Tithe Applotment Books in New Birmingham, Kilcooly Parish, Co Galway (when I searched the name Quinlan), but when I browse the Kilcooly Parish, I don't see them their.  Also, I can't find a place called New Birmingham in Kilcooly Parish.

Can you help me understand where New Birminham is in Kilcooly Parish?  This could help me find a possible connection with my ancestors from the Loughrea/Portumna area (Burke and Keating).

Thank you very much!

Hi CMST

Welcome to IrelandXO. I believe you have the incorrect county. The  Kilcooley / New Birmingham is in Co Tipperary. Below is a link to an interesting article on the area: http://www.glengoole.net/pages/history.html ;

Quinlan family in Glengoole in 1901     http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/New_Birmingh…

Birth of Nicholas Quinlan in 1871 to Daniel & Catherine Dwyer      https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…

Mary Anne Quinlan  https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…

Birth of William Quinlan 1881 to Daniel & Catherine Dwyer      https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…

There is also a birth from 1866 of William Quinlan to William Quinlan and Kate Norton?

Will check with admin, may be able to reassign to Tipperary if appropriate.

I await your response

Regards
