Jeremiah Connolly born 1820 Cork and his wife Hannah also born Cork were residing in Dowlais in the parish of Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, South Wales on the 1881 census. Listed are children Patrick (16), Mary (14), John (12) and Daniel (10) all born Cork. Any information appreciated.
Thanks
Roy:
You may want to look at www.irishgenealogy.ie which has a lot of Co. Cork baptismal records. I found the following births in the parish of Drimoleague: Daniel Connolly 1871, John 1869 and Mary Connolly 1867 and Patrick November 1864. Their parents were Jeremiah Connolly and Johanna Sullivan.
I looked for a civil birth index record for Daniel and found this record in the Skibbereen registration district. You can write to the GRO www.groireland.ie for a copy which will tell you what townland the family was living in. Fill out the GRO form and provide the year of birth, registration district (Skibbereen) and the volume and page number (20 and 598). Cost around 4 euros.
