Looking for Dacey's (Deasy)

CorkKilbrittain (Cork)

I'm looking for my ggggrandparent's information: Daniel Dacey married Margaret ? in Ireland. They moved to Boston and had my gggrandmother Johanna b.1852 (d.1890 in Boston) I don't know how many children Daniel & Margaret had. I looked through census records for Boston and couldn't pinpoint the correct family. Without knowing Margaret's last name, I can't find their marriage. Johanna married John Hughes and I have information to the present.

I found a notice in the Boston Pilot dated Dec. 4, 1858 - Daniel Dacey is looking for his brothers Jeremiah and Michael (Deasy) - they are natives of Cripplehill Parish Kilbritain near Bandon County Cork. It states that Jeremiah came to the US about 1844 and Michael 1850 - Daniel last heard that they were in Pennsylvania.

Daniel (& Jeremiah) lived on Cove Place in Boston - The Sunday Herald dated November 23, 1884 called Cove Place the poorest of the poor in Boston. I have the articles, if anyone is interested.

Another Dacey researcher found Jeremiah's information - if anyone is interested in him.

Any information on my Dacey's would be helpful.

Thanks so much.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched on www.irishgenealogy.ie and Roots Ireland in Co. Cork from 1840-1850 and only found one marriage record for a Daniel Deasy/Dacey with a wife Margaret which is shown below. I don't know if this is the correct record but it is a lead.

You may want to consider autosomal DNA testing.

Hi, Im looking for information on my great grandparents and the rest of my Deasy family, I have been searching for quite a while now and cant seem to find out much about my them. My family are also quite secretive and dont tell me much about my family backgorund. My great grandfathers name is William Deasy married to Hannah (Dolly) O'mahony, they married in 1942 at North Cathedral St Mary & St Anne in Cork. He was known to close friends and family as (Willie) He died in 2003 at south infirmary victoria unviersity hospital. They had two children togther ; my Grandad (Cornelius Declan Deasy) (born 1994 deceased 2009) and Frank Deasy who is still living in Cork as far as I am aware. They all lived on Marie ville, Pouladuff Road, Cork.  http://falvey.id.au/getperson.php?personID=I855&tree=falvey I have spent a lot of time trying to research into my family and this is all I can find about William. Before meeting Hannah O'Mahony he lived on Bandon road, Cork. My father is David Deasy son of Cornilius Declan Deasy. From what I have researched, the Deasy's have a connection with the Falvery Family and Mulchay Family. Can anybody help please?http://www.deasyreunion.myevent.com/page.php?groupingID=myblog&blog_id=… I have also found this website - Deasy Reunion. My email address is kalissemarketing@gmail.com. Many thanks x

Searching for a birth or baptismal record of my grandmother born about Jan 1844 I assume in County Cork because her parents Cornelius Deasy & Ellen Connell were married at St. Finbarr So. RC church in Cork City on Sep 15, 1841. On  Feb 26 of 1843 a baby named Ellen was baptized of Cornelius Deasy & Ellen Connell at St Paul's, Cork. Only Elizabeth Dasey & Ellen McCarty are shown in the 1855 Mass, state census. I found a Dennis McCarty marrying a Ellen Connell in 1852 then died in 1854 so this explains the name change. I assume that perhaps her 1st husband died young before 1852. I have been searching the Cork City RC Parish baptismal records without success. Can you help me find a way to find out way happened to father Cornelius Deasy born around 1820 & his daughter Ellen born in early 1843? I'm here in the USA so I am trying to research online via ancestry.com & family search. Perhaps there is a better website to use. Thank you for any help that you can give me. Barbara Goodridge Bargd@comcast.net

Barbara:

Records for Cork city RC parishes are available on the free site irishgenealogy.ie   and also subscription sites like FindMyPast.ie and Ancestry.com  On FindMyPast.ie I located a baptismal record for a Mary Deasy with father Cornelius Deasy and mother Ellen Connell. The RC parish was Ovens and the date was November 12 1848. Mary was likely a younger sister to Ellen.

Civil registration of deaths started in 1864 and before 1864 a limited number of RC parishes kept death records. I don't believe any of the Cork city parishes have death records.

Likely Cornelius, Ellen and possibly Mary died in Ireland.
