Larkin Family

May I first begin by drawing your attention to another query - Looking for Ford & King.

This is also directed at Abbeyfeale area. This person is looking for information on their 3rd great grandparents John Ford and Mary King.

John and Mary first child Catherine was born in 1864 in Abbeyfeale, their second child was called Johanna, and their third child was called Mary. Okay common names but was just wondering if your Johanna King married to james Larkin and this Mary King married to John Ford were related, sisters maybe, or not related at all.

Could I suggest to contact this person to see if one side of your family tree is linked. The query user name is Vince - vincesalvati

Thanks

Hi Nancy

As pointed out in the other response I am looking for my Ford and King ancestors. Mary King, born about 1846, was my 3rd great grandmother. I don't know her siblings or parents (yet). They did have Catherine, Johanna, Mary, John, Thomas, Margaret, Harry, Nellie, William, Elizabeth and Jeremiah. I am not sure which were born in Ireland and which in the US because there is conflicting documents but I know the first few were born in Ireland starting in 1864. 

I am not even sure where John Ford and Mary King were born. Since the Griffiths valuation shows Fords in 1852 there is a decent chance one of them is John's father but there are no Kings listed so I am gussing they lived in a nearby town.

If I come across any more info on the King family I will let you know. Please do the same.

Regards

Vince

Thanks for the info!

Hi Nancy

James Larkin 1818-1890  was married to Johanna King.  3 children that I know of Mary Julia 1849, James 1848 and Margaret 1854.   Julia married Timothy Larkin 1849 of Ahawilk Feoghnagh on 11th April 1874 in Templeglanton and they lived at Cleanglass North and had 11 children.  Julia gave Doonakenna Templeglanton as her address on the marriage cert. My relationship is to Timothy.  If I can be of any further help please let me know.   Check out irishgenealogy.ie
