Frances Mahoney to Australia 1863/4

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your message. It will be easier to find information on the family if you can narrow down place of origin to a parish.

You could try using the land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century to do this. There are two:

The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

and Griffith?s Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

Also, did you know that Catholic records from Co. Kerry are available online free of charge at http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ You may be able to find something there.

 

All the best,

Do you have reason to believe Frances came from Cork or Kerry?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
