The Devine family from Cork
I'm looking for the origins in Cork of my great grandfather William Francis Devine. He was born Feb 1842 in County Cork. His parents were Daniel Devine and mother Ellen Leary. William came to Boston, Massachusetts around 1860 with his two brothers, Cornelius (b. 1838, C Cork) and Dennis (b. 1835 C Cork). William and Cornelius were slaters / roofers, Dennis was a baker. The brothers settled in Boston Somerville and remained there all their lives, raised families and were all buried in the same cemetery in Brookline MA.
George A. Devine, b. 1903 Cambridge, MA, a grandson of Cornelius, became a prominent wool merchant in Boston, traveled to Ireland frequently.
Roger McDonnell from general message board was helpful in finding the following lead:
The 1829 Tithe Applotment listings show a Daniel Devine in Cashelbeg townland in Desertserges civil parish. http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004587429/004587429_00140.pdf
Daniel had a child in 1835 according to your notes. The issue would be was he old enough and in a position to be leasing land in 1829.
Would be great to find that this was Daniel's parish!
