Timothy Launy, Lowney

Hi Renee:

As the church registers normally do not go back before 1800, your best bet might be to look at the graveyards in Castletownbere to see if there are any Launy/Lowney headstones. 

Historic Graves has transcribed many graveyards in the West Cork area and you should take a look at their link:  https://historicgraves.com/project/historic-graveyards-west-cork

In addition, there are other sites that hold graveyard records:  

http://moonglo.com/ - Beara Historical Society.  It's an old site, but might have some useful information for you.  

https://www.corkgen.org/publicgenealogy/cork/placesalmanac/castletownbere/  This site is excellent and it is a great resource from the Cork Genealogy Society with lots of other very good information about tips for research.  You will see that there are several graveyards which have been transcribed and are on the FindAGrave website.  

If you have any other questions, please let us know. 

All the best,

 

Jane
