Hayes of Castlegregory

KerryDingle or Daingean Uí Chúis in the Irish (Kerry)

Hi,

Sorry if I'm in the wrong parish but i canlt seem to find one for Castlegregory.

I have this reference for a brother of my g-grandmother.

Area - KERRY (RC) , Parish/Church/Congregation - CASTLEGREGORY
Baptism of MICHAEL HAYES of LIMERICK on 1 April 1857
 
Name    MICHAEL HAYES
Date of Birth   1 April 1857 (BASED ON OTHER DATE INFORMATION)
Address LIMERICK
Father  MICHAEL HAYES
Mother  CATHERINE LISTON
Child Denomination      ROMAN CATHOLIC
Sponsor 1       DENIS HAYES
Sponsor 2       JOHANNA MORIARTY

Is there any way I can get a check done for anything else about the Hayes or the Listons?

Cheers,

Paul:

Castlegregory is in Killiney civil parish. I checked the 1852 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Killiney parish and there was only 1 Hayes listed and no Listons. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/kerry/killiney.htm

Not sure why a child from Limerick would be baptized in a parish which is a good distance away from Co. Limerick. I thought maybe the mother was from that area but there was no Listons shown.

Thanks Roger. I guess there was some connection to the place. Maybe they were related to the priest, but it's lost in time now.

Dear Paul, there may  be no connection but there are a number of Liston families in Monageagh Parish in Co. Limerick. That is around modern day Newcastle West, Co. Limerick.

I suggest you go to familysearch.org. I found 44 Catherine Liston's there with Limerick as their marriage place in the 1800's. Without more information it is not possible for me to ascertain if any of them are yours. Maybe you will have better luck.

It is worth a shot since there are only 6 Liston's in Kerry in 1901 which does suggest that Catherine might have been from Limerick.

Let me know how you get on and if it would be worth contacting one of the Liston's who lives in Monageagh parish today.

Best wishes
