Churchtown Corcorans

CorkChurchtown North Cork (Cork)

My name is Eileen Flanagan Wood. My Great Grandmother was Bridget G. Corcoran Flanagan and she was born on July 6, 1867 in Ireland according to her Pennsylvania Death Certificate. Her marriage license application lists her birthplace as "Churchtown, Ireland". She may have been born in Churchtown, County Cork. The family story is that the Corcoran family was from Cork. Bridget's parents were Mary O'Connell and Cornelius Corcoran. They left Ireland about 1873 and ended up settling in Lebanon, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Bridget's siblings include: Mary, Margaret, Daniel, Nora, William Joseph, John Francis, and Aloysius Charles Corcoran.

Please contact me at: EileenD256@hotmail.com if you know anything about this family or could help me find records from Ireland. Thank you.

Re: Corcoran

Hi Eileen, my name is Anne Marie and I am the parish liason for Churchtown North Cork
When looking at the baptism records I found the following information:

Daniel Corcoran baptised 22-Mar-1868 in Churchtown North Cork, parents Cornelius Corcoran and mother Mary Connell.
According to the baptism record Bridget was baptised 14-Jan-1866 in Churchtown, her last name registered as Corkerry.
The marriage of Cornelius Corcoran ( according to the marriage registration Corkerry) and Mary Connell took place on 15-Oct-1859 also in Churchtown.

The records are available from the subscription site www,rootsireland.ie
