Grace - Fogarty

TipperaryKillenaule (Tipperary)

My gg grandfather was John Grace born abt 1819, parents Timothy Grace and mother Heany.

His child Mary Grace was born at Common, Ballingarry, Tipperary, Ireland.

Baptism 28 Sept 1845 at Coolroe

Diocese - Cashel and Emly 

Parish Varients - Killenaule and Moyglass, Moyglass

His wife we believe was Catherine Fogarty born 1824

at Killenaule, Tipperary, Ireland.

They had another daughter Ellen 13 June 1848, born in the same diocese and parish as Mary.

We believe they landed in New York 8 Dec 1851. They had my great grandfather William Grace in Cheshire, MA on 17 Mar 1853.

I am looking for confirmation on the above information, also trying to find their siblings and parents!

Thank You!

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and the only Catherine Fogarty baptismal record around 1824 was a record in 1826-- Catherine Fogarty September 3 1826 parents Timothy Fogarty and Anne Read

Roots Ireland does not have Killenaule marriages so I went to another subscription site Find My Past and found the marriage record. Catherine and John were married October 27 1844. The townland for both Catherine and John was shown as Moyglass which must be a local place name because I did not find Moyglass in the townland listings for Tipperary.

I saw the same baptismal records for Mary Grace and Ellen as you have indicated.

I also found a John Grace baptismal record in Ballingarry RC parish May 20 1819 father Timothy Grace and mother Margaret Heany.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for all your information! This is just wonderful!

I do not believe that is my Catherine Fogarty's baptism because her death records states her father was James Fogarty.

It looks like Catherine Fogarty Grace landed in New York on 3 Dec 1851.

She had my g grandfather William Grace in Chershire, MA on 17 Mar 1853.

at some point her husband John Grace died and on 4 March 1854 she married Richard Skeehan in Pittsfield, MA.

 

Again thank you Roger for your work and Doreen for the Moglass link!
