Dennis Whelan (Mitchelstown Co.Cork)

CorkBrigown (Cork)

I am looking for any information on my Greatgrandfather Dennis Whelan, I believer he came from Kildorrery or Mitchelstown Co.Cork. Not sure what year he was born but believe it to be around 1820-25. He married in 1848 to a Mary Lee & is in the Griffin Valuation of 1850s in Curraghgorm. He had seven children one of which was my Grandfather Michael Whelan born 1860. I would be very grateful for any help or information on the Whelan family & in deed on Dennis. Thanks

Hi Anthony...are you the Tony Whelen that is my cousin in UK? If so My sister Maria and myself may have exchanged emails with you in the past..regarding our Grandmother Johanna Whelen wife of Michael. I lost contact with you (email address problems)...however noticed this post on this website after googling the whelens of mitchelstown....I dont know if you have this info..but my research on ancestry.co.uk shows Denis and Mary Lee marriage in parish records for Killdorrery..I found it by chance..because the fore names are in the latin eg...Denis is written as Dionisium and Mary as Marium ( does'nt make research any easier)...I was interested to see on your enquiry Denis possibly born around 1820-1825...that helps me out as in our family he is down as abt 1805...and I have been checking to see if he was married twice??

Anyway hope you get this and maybe swap info again.

Hi Philip,

Yes i am your cousin in the U.K . Nice to hear from you hope you & the family are keeping well. Thank you for the info on Denis & Mary i  already have it. I downloaded a copy of their marriage the only thing that was missing was their parents names. Denis was in fact born in Kildorrey September 1825 & Mary Lee was born in Kildorerry in May 1827. I don,t know what info you have but i do have some on Mary & her family & a little on Denis & his siblings. My email address is noddywill@yahoo.co.uk if you need any of the info i have i can be contacted on that email address. Say hello to Maria for me. Take care
