TIERNEY, Martin Clooniff, Moycullen

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the long delay in getting back to you.

I take it you have already checked out Ancestry.com to see if there is any reference to Mary? Do you know what Order she entered or if she emigrated?

I hope someone with a connection to the family will be in touch. In the meantime, I wanted to invite you to add your ancestor's details to our XO Chronicles. You can learn more about it HERE and it might be another avenue to consider so that your ancestor's details can be seen by others. 

Best wishes

Thank you for your reply.  Yes Ancestry.com has been checked I am an active member and appear to be the only one

entering details on our Tierney family at this stage.   Unknown what order "Mary" entered, she did not emigrate as far

as I know, the death certificate on rishgeneaology.ie 29 Feb 1908 states Mary was present at the time of her mothers death.

I have recently made contact with the Moycullen Historical Society, received a very prompt helpful reply from a member

who on receipt of my query took off to the Moycullen cemetery and photographed Tierney graves for me and included

the photographs in her reply.   She has also put me in touch with a Tierney family member still living in the Tierney

house at Clooniff.  I have emailed this person and await their reply.  

Kind Regards

Jill Craig

 

 

That's great Jill - I am quite far from Moycullen so I'm delighted you have found some help

Jill Craig, Did you ever hear from the Tierney family in Clooniff?  I have a DNA match to a woman who told me that she has Tierney ancestors from Clooniff. 

No I never heard back from anyone which was disappointing, in the meantime I have located the death and burial site of Martin's sister who was a nun.

Thanks for making contact again.

Jill
