Hello
I seem to have exhausted every means in tracking down my great grandmother, Bridget Mountcashel who was born in Bulgaden on 29 December 1850 to David Mountcashel and Ellen Hurley. If there is any one who may have access to even a fragment of an early census or any other possible information on even a 'Cashel' during that time and in this area, I would be so very appreciative.
Thank you.
Carolyn

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I just checked the December 1850 baptisms for Bulgaden RC church and I did not see the baptism you mention. What documentation do you have.
I also checked the 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Co. Limerick and there were no Mountcashels listed.
The 1851 census for Limerick was destroyed.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my message Roger.
Apologies, Bridget Mountcashel was born in the Kilmallock Parish on 29 December 1850 (Microfilm 02427 / 01) - not Bulgaden as in my original post. I confirmed my original information by searching the Catholic Parish Registers online. There are a number of Mountcashels who were born in Bulgaden (Microfilm 02428/01) in the 1820s. I wonder whether John Muncassele b. 23 November 1815 to David Muncassele and Bridga Boland is David Mountcashel (my gr gr grandfather) - perhaps he took his father's name later on?

Hi:
My wife's ancestory includes a Catherine Fay Mountcashel born in 1620.
She married John Burke who was born in Castle Hacket, Galway. They had a son Richard Bourke born 1645 in County Kildare and died 1727. They had a son John B. BURK was born About 1685 or 1690 in County Kildare Ireland and died 1762 in Orange Co., Virginia.
My wife's name is Carole Elaine (Burk) Hampsch and we live in Payson Ireland. We had the pleausre of visiting Castle Hacket in 2005 and found several gravestone with her maiden name. Catherine Fay Mountcashel was her 11 generation great-grand-mother.
We hope this helps you.
Gary and Carole Hampsch.
