Checkleys in Mallow

CorkMallow (Cork)

Charles Checkley marriedMary bothborn about 1782 in Cork went to Fitzroy, Ontario, Canada in 1836 with their children. Charles, Catherine, Doretta, Eliza, Margaret, John, William and there may have been a Mary. My line is Catherine who was born in Mallow in 1820 and married Robert Heggart in Ontario, Canada. I have completed the family line but need Charles wife Marysmaiden name. Some of the family belonged to the church of England but Catherine later became a Presbyterian.

Hi,

Fanny and Rachael Checkley are my great-great-great aunts. I have some information about the family.

Regards,

keith@hogpits…

My Catherine Checkley was born in Mallow in 1820 and migrated to Canada about 1850 with her husband Robert Heggart.  That is all I know about her.

Bonnie,

My family tree shows a Charles Checkley, my great,great grandfather, born in Cork, Ireland in 1810. He was married to Elizabeth Envoy and they lived in Antrim, Ontario. His mother is shown as Mary Checkley, born in Cork, Ireland in 1781, but no husband is shown and no maiden name. Hope this helps your quest!!

Donie here.

i had aquick check on baptisms in protestant Kilshannig Parish and 4 baptisms of  Checklys appear.

Jane 17 March1822

Charles on 19th Aug.. 1824.

Thomas 4th Jan. 1829

Dorothea 4th Jan. 1829

Thomas and Dorothea were obviously twins

Their parents were Thomas and Jane and they lived in the townland of Aldworth in the parish which is about 5-6 miles from Mallow town.

There were families of Heggart in the parish also and they have 4 headstones in Kilshannig cemetery.They were protestants.Some of these emigrated to Australia in the late 1930's

Perhaps the above is of some value in your researck

My wife Shirley and I are visiting Mallow area on June 16 and 17 and would appreciate any assistance finding the farm of my ancestors. We believe that Charles Checkley my great, great grandfather lived near Clonmeen and immigrated to Canada in the 1830’s. We also believe that Mary Checkley, his aunt, was an immigrant with the Peter Robinson Settlement group.
