Ballyvourney book with some family names at end
Hello,
my husband Tim Herlihy and I will be visiting Ireland (second time) in April from Australia, and in Ballyvourney on 25th and 26th April 2016. We will meet a cousin of my husband Pat Herlihy, who will come over from England to meet us, who last year published a book about Ballyvouney, called 'Ballyvourney 3501'. If interested in learning more you can contact Pat on ballyvourney3501@gmail.com.
A copy was donated to the Ballyvourney school.
In Chapter 15 Pat talks generally about the forces leading our Herlihys to leave Ballyvourney for Duhallow/Nohaval/Knocknagree.At the end of the book (Chapter 16) he briefly illustrates what he is talking about using our family of Herlihys, who moved from Kocknagree out into the wider world at the end of the nineteenth century. When I read that it seemed to link with a post I had read here on the noticeboard, but blowed if I can find it now!
So I'll list some of the family names he mentions in case you think you might be related and want to chase a copy of the book.
Herlihy, Kelleher, (Coltzman), Clare (New York), Collins (Rathmore), Moynihan, William Herlihy to America (married Joanna Burns - a son FJ Herlihy with brothers ran 'Herlihy Mid-Continent' construction company, which builtUpper and Lower Wacker Drive of 'Blues Brothers' fame! Lived in Chicago), Jeremiah to Chicago, Pat to New Zealand, James to London (our lot), Humphrey to India, John to death in the Boer War, South Africa, Catherine to America.Kelleher again, Washington State (William). My husband's g-grandfather James Herlihy married an O'Leary, who was elected Mayor of Deptford London but was not put in office because she refused to enter an Anglican Church to be sworn in.
This my first post here so I don't know if I can give my email address - happy to if it's OK. pherlihy3@gmail.com. But I'll be travelling soon - you might not catch me til June sometime!
