Brosnan

CorkCaherduggan (Cork)

Looking for information re Daniel Brosnan(born around 1831) and Catherine Reilly/Kiely/O'Reily). Both died in Richardstown (townland) but I think the town was Doneraile. Daniel died between the 1901 and 1911 census and Catherine after the 1911 census. They had nine children.

I checked the 1852 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Caherduggan parish and there were no Brosnans listed. There were two Rielly records.

I checked Roots Ireland for 1826-1836 and there were four Daniel Bresnihan/Brusnihan records.Three of the four were in Kanturk RC church. I assume you don't know Daniel's parents names? I did locate an early 1911 civil death record for a Daniel Brosnan in the Mallow registration district. There was also a 1914 record for a Catherine Brosnan. Possibly this record was for Daniel's wife. Copies of these records can be obtained from the General Register Office for around 4 euros each. If you are interested let me know and I can forward instructions.

Thank you Roger,

           I would like to get the records for Daniel and Catherine so if you would kindly send instructions I will do so.

           They were married on 14th Oct,1858, in the Catholic Church of Kanturk Parish. I got that information from the parish priest in 2000. They had 9 children. All of them were alive in 1911. 

            The children were,

             Daniel 1859

             William 1860

              John 1861

              Mary 1863

              Patrick 1866

              Michael 1867

              Honora 1869

              Timothy 1871

Go to this link https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

Print out the death form. Fill it out to mthe best of your ability. Add the info from the index record: quater/year of the death, registration district and volume and page number. make sure you ask for a copy only. You have to mail the request to GRO in Co. Roscommon (address provide when you print the form). You can ask the GRO to e-mail the copy(ies) back to you. I use a credit card number with the request and I have not had any issues.

Sine the marriage was in the Kanturlk church possibly one of those baptismal records is for Daniel.
