STACK and HENNESSEY Families in Ballyrusheen, Kilbrin, Cork.
My Great Grandparents, Eugene Stack and Mary Hennessey Stack are shown in Griffiths Land Eval. as renting in Ballyrusheen, Kilbrin, Duhallow, CORK. (I hope that's the correct order). Eugene was born c.1817, and Mary c. 1821. They married about 1844, and had 4 children in Ireland: Hannah (c.1846), Mathew (c.1848), Edward (c.1849) and Eugene (c.1850) I believe Eugene was a shoemaker/bootmaker. In 1852, Eugene left to go to (Kirkland, Oneida) New York, USA, and a year later, Mary followed with the children. ( They had had five more children in Kirkland, and their son William is my Grandfather) Eugene's brother, Edward Stack c. 1819 married Ellen LInnihan, c. 1920. Edward also shown in Griffiths as renting at the same time in Ballyrusheen, and he had immigrated to New York a year before Eugene.
I have looked for ANY information on Eugene and Mary before Griffiths, and can find nothing; No immigration or passage records, no Birth or Baptism or Marriage records NO idea of their parents' names: Eugene and Mary were Roman Catholic in the US. Eugene and Edward both named their first sons, Matthew...so I have looked for a Matthew Stack as their own father. Nothing. I have tried IFHF for marriage records for Eugene and Mary, and Baptismal records, but since I DO NOT KNOW whether they were born in Cork, it is impossible to guess which ones might be correct! If you can possibly help me, in any way, I would be very, very grateful!
I am the last surviving Stack in Eugene's line,and if I don't accomplish finding their ancestry, no one will!
