Cornelius OConnell

Limerick

I am trying to trace my Irish Ancestry, my 4X Great Grandmother was Catherine O Connell born Limerick approx 1834. She left Ireland possibly with her Father Cornelius O Connell and her Mother in the 1840's for London where she settled and married Frederick Cook in 1854. Cornelius is a Farmer on her marriage certificate. I have no more information although one of her daughters Maryanne Cook became a nun in London with The Good Shepherd Convent. I believe they were Catholic and Dairy farmers. If anyone can help, please do. there is a Cornelius OConnell who ends up in USA and marries there (As a widower?) a Catherine Trainor, his photograph very much resembles my Grandmothers family. Any help would be gratefully received, thank you.  Wendy.

Hi Wendy,

I searched births/baptisms on www.rootsireland.ie for Catherine O'Connell father Cornelius O'Connell Limerick 1834 + / - 6 years and got 1 match - attached (Connell).

If you purchase the record it will give you the mother's name and the parish the baptism was done in.

I also searched for Cornelius O'Connell born in Limerick 1810 + / - 10 years and got 1 match - 1814 (Connell).

Griffiths Valuation was done in Limerick in 1850-52 and there are 2 Cornelius O'Connells listed in Rathkeale (attached). Griffiths is on www.askaboutireland.ie and is free to search.

Once you get the mother's name you could search on rootsireland for siblings.

Best regards

Col Cafferky
