THANK YOU for baptismal and marriage info! Now seeking possible photos or household info
If there is any possible way to find out where my family was living in Foildarragh, Co. Tipperary prior to their emmigration to New York State, USA, I would dearly love to have some photos of where they lived...even if it is now something different, crumbled down, or the home is missing entirely. I may never get a chance to set foot on their "place" in Ireland, but it would truly help if I could see it and know it.
My family came from Foildarragh, County Tipperary. Baptismal certificate from the 1850s lists this as the family home. I am searching for any and all information on the family (ancestors) of Thomas Bourke and his wife, Maggie Ryan. They had at least 5 children, Honoria (Anna), Peter, Margaret, Bridget, and Catherine (Kate), all of whom immigrated to New York State in the United States in 1860. (THANK YOU to the kind volunteer who sent me all of the Bourke family's Baptismal documentation!!!) Also looking for the family (ancestors) of Patrick Hickey and his wife, Catherine Noonan. Their son, Michael, married the Bourke daughter, Honoria in New York State, but I believe they may all have been from the same area of Ireland and that they knew each other before immigrating....since they all settled together in the same area of upstate NY. Please contact me if you have any information about these three families from the Thurles area of County Tipperary. MANY thanks!
28 May 2020 Google Satellite map showing Foildarragh as the area to the west of Foilnadrough and the road to St. Patrick’s RC Church in Kilcommon where the children of Thomas Bourke and Maggie (Ryan) Bourke were all Baptized between 1848 and 1871. Depending on where the family lived in Foildarragh, the distance to the church is between 2-3 miles.
