Hinchy

ClareKillaloe (Clare)

Hello. My great grandfather, Michael J. Hinchy came from County Clare. He was baptized at Killaloe in Drumclift on April 16, 1856. His parents were Pat Hinchy and Margaret Ringrose. Sponsors were Owen McGurie and Margaret Tobin. He came from a large family. I believe some of the siblings are living in Ireland. I have done some research on Ancestry. Just saying hello. I have visited your country and it is breathtaking.

I also believe that his wife came from the same county. She had the same maiden name. Her name was Bridget Henchey. Not sure if I have the spelling right. This is how it is on her papers from NY USA. I believe her parents werer John Henchey and Ann Geary.

Thank you for this site. Mary Jean

Hi Mary Jean . . . Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . . delighted to hear of your love of Clare. . . and , yes, it is a special  place . . . 

 

Whereas . . I am not a resident of Co.Clare . . and really cannot help with your living relations in Clare . . I did take a look

at what you did know . . through Ancestry . . . below I did some research . . which MAY or may not . . be of help . . 

You did say they were of a BIG family . . so I only dipped in . . . to some of the siblings . . . maps etc.. . . 

 

Hope this helps  . . . 

Cheers . . . Eamonn (Tipperary)

Eamonn,

 

Thank you so much for looking for me.  Good information.  I did try to attach my original message to the correct parish board.  I probably did something wrong.  Yes, I think my great grandfather came from a family ten siblings living on Mill Street.  I like the map too.

 

Cheers!  Mary Jean

We have a Parish Liaison for Ennis and I will copy this post to him.  He may have further information for you about the Mill Street area and/or the family.

I am indebted to you for taking the time to look for me.  Information that is useful.  It is true that I attempted to post my initial message on the appropriate parish board.  It's likely that I messed up in some way.  Yes, I believe that my great-great grandpa came from a family who resided on Mill Street and had ten siblings.  Even I can appreciate the map.  geometry dash
