Parish Name

CorkCastletownroche (Cork)

I am looking for any information about my ancestors, Jeremiah Lynch (my great great grandfather), who I believe ws born on November 5, 1854, in Castletownroche Parich, Templenoe., and his wife, Mary Kelleher (my great great grandmother), who I understand was born in 1848 in Coolea/Ballyvorney. I believe their daughter Margaret Theresa Lynch who was born on November24, 1898 in Brockton, MAwas my great grandmother. I have read that Jeremiah Lynch was either the son of Cornelius Lynch or Jeremiah Lynch and Mary Gay/Gaye/Gayney.

My ancestors emigrated to Massachusetts. I now reside in NJ with my husband and three daughters. My daughter Colleen will be studying at University College Cork in the spring and we are now planning a trip to Ireland over Easter. I would love to learn more about our Irish ancestors. I believe wewill be spending time inCork, Killarney, Cong, and Dublin.

Any information you have about the Lynch or Kelleher ancestors would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Dawn

There is a record of the baptism of Jeremiah Lynch 5 Nov 1854 on  www.irishgenealogy.ie/ - a free site 

http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/b0f7960227209.

Father is also Jeremiah & mother Joanna Keane

There is also a record of Mary Kelleher 1848 but it is Cork & Ross Parish

You may want to have a look at the Tithe Applotments (free online) to see where the families were living in the 1820's & 30's 

Enjoy your visit
