McCarthy/Reidy

LimerickKilcornan (Limerick)

With John O'Connell's help have found baptisms of Hellen & Maria (Mary) McCarthy daughters

of Michael & Eliza (Reidy) McCarthy in Kilcornan/Stonehall in 1825. Would love to find marriage of

Michael & Eliza. Apparently in 1825 they were Catholic as 2 girls baptised there. We believe during

later 1820's they changed to Protestant. They had 3 more children Thomas 1826, Cath1829 & Ellen1832

according to the "Aliquis" shipping list when they left Cork Harbour in 1838 for Sydney, Australia.

Michael's father John McCarthy & wife Ellen (Warn, Ward or even Walsh), Eliza's parents Thomas

Reidy & wife Ellen nothing more on shipping list.

Help or any suggestions very welcome.

look up the tithe Applotment Book,

the tithe Defaulters book, is not on line,

hopefully it will come on line in the next few years,

it can be viewed in person at the archive office in dublin.

it shows the year when houses or land

passed from father to son or next of kin.

Thanks John, our family were long gone from the area by late 1838, & we have

no idea of their siblings or  parents names to be sure as John McCarthy with wife's name Ellen no surname legible on shipping list to help, & much the same with Thomas Reidy & wife's name only Ellen no maiden name.

Found in the Parish of Kilcornan the Bridget McCarthy you were suggesting but 1850 a bit late for our

family they were in Sydney Australia in 1839. Maybe she was some relation.

Still puzzled by the Hellen in the Baptisms, as the eldest girl in our family was Mary age 13yrs on shipping list. Someone suggested that perhaps the family could only bring 4 children to Australia as

Bounty passengers, also suggested perhaps she was to be married, in Ireland. Going by ages on

passenger list Eliza (Reidy) McCarthy must have been married by 14 yrs old.

the marriage were performed in the brides Parish, example Kilcornan parish,

the groom could be from another Parish.
