Where is Lisduff in Co. Tipperary?

TipperaryTipperary (Tipperary)

Seeking to find information on my great great grandmother Catherine Magee (various spellings) who arrived in Australia about 1852 or 1853 with her sister Eleanor. On various papers, mainly their childrens' birth certificates, gave their place of birth as Lisduff in Co. Tipperary - on one occassion gave Black Rock in Co. Tipperary (husband was the informant on the certificate). Their parents are recorded as James Magee (Meghee, etc), a farmer, and Catherine O'Brien.

Please can anyone help me work out the parish so I can take this further?

Lisduff is a townland in the civil parish of Kilcooly. Catholic parish of Gurtnahoe, Diocese of Cashel and Emly . Baptisms and marriages start being registered in 1805. Tipperary Family History Research, have done a great job recording the registers. A small fee is charged.

Their email is research@tfhr.org. I will try and do some more research and get back to you.

Let me know how you get on. Best of luck with your research.

God bless and kindest regards.

Thanks Christina. I'll put together as much info as I can and contact the Tipperary Family History Research people by email over the weekend. I'll let you know how I go. I look forward to hearing from you again.

All the best
