Furey Family

DownKilbroney (Down)

I appreciate any insight you may be able to give me on the following people.

 

Catharine Furey b. Aug 1845

Mary T Furey b.  Jul 1849; Baptised 23 Jul 1949 in Kilbroney Parish, County Down, Sponsor 1 was Thomas McAvera & sponsor 2 Elizabeth.

Sarah Mary Furey b. 5 Aug 1850 in Co. Down

The parents of these women were:

Matthew Furey/Furrie b. abt 1820 in Ireland

Sarah Ellen McCovera/McAvera/McCavera b. abt 1830 in County Down.

 

I am assuming that each of these women were baptised and mabey confirmed in the Kilbroney Parish.

I have had difficulty finding information on their parents and think that I may have the wrong spelling.  I would also like to know if there were siblings to these 3 women.

Thank you very much!

I located the baptismal records for Sarah and Catherine and also a James (you have Mary). Sarah and Catherine were older than what you had in your note.

Thank you so much Roger!  I have emailed your response to cousins to look over.  It sure looks correct to me and I will let you know what they think as well.

Would you guess that Matthew Fury came from the same area?

Elwyn,

Thank you so much for taking the time to look up this family!

I looked at the 1863 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Co. Down and most of the Furey/Furys were in Killyleagh civil parish which is not close to Kilbroney. There were a few other entries in Bangor and Kilmore parishes again not near Kilbroney. No Mathew entries.

I also did not find a Mathew baptismal record on Roots Ireland.

All your information is good and useful and I will look at those other parishes as well.
Is it possible for you to look at the Kilbroney records for Sarah Ellen or Ellen Sarah McCauvera?

I did the searches you requested from 1820-1840 for all of Co. Down--- no record.

Thanks again Roger, you have helped me a lot!  I am sorry for so many replies to your post.  I didn't think it was going through.  

I think it is late in Ireland so I wish you a good night from California!
