Michael Brennan, et al, on the Irish Genealogy books, I have a question.
My eight lines of Irish (counties Carlow, Cork, Dublin, Sligo, Galway,
Donegal) all came over to Bridgeport CT USA between 1830 and 1900. So I'm
thinking maybe those books wouldn't come in too handy for the research I
would like to do in Ireland, roughly 1750-1880.
Are there other books that might deal with information a little farther back
than 1901? Incidentally, you did a search for me on the Griffiths Evaluation
for my Carlow an

Colleen,
The townland of Tinryland (it does sound sort of "Wizard of Oz"-ish, doesn't
it?) is located just 3 miles SSE of Carlow town, just to the western side of
the N 80 road. The townland's size of 545 acres is a bit larger than the
Irish average, but about normal for this part of Carlow. To describe the
shape of the townlan

Sue,
I don't find any Fox Hills in Carlow, nor even across the border into
Wicklow. Your Moone parish Foxhill - even though it's just a couple of miles
east of Athy - does seem to be the nearest to Castlemore, etc. (
Wonder of wonders, the Carlow Genealogy Project has found the 1841 marriage
record of my ancestors, Mary TIMMINS & James ANDERSON in the Tinryland
Catholic parish near the town of Carlow in County Carlow. Of course, I'm
thrilled & wanting to know more about Tinryland. I did a google.com search
hoping to come up with a bit of information about the place but didn't find
much. It's a very small village so that's not surprising. If anyone on the
list has some ideas about resources that might include descr

The famine didn't impact Carlow terribly but it was worse in South Carlow
where there were some deaths and certainly massive numbers of people leaving.
The article in question was in Carloviana, if you are interested I can give
you the reference.
If your people lived in South Carlow there are a number of early 19th century
and later 18th century sources available but you would need to know at least
the parish if not the townsland.

If anyone has sent Surnames for the Laois or Carlow Surname registry in the

lost one or two.

In regards to Carlow, I have talked with local historians there and I was
told the famine was not as bad in Co Carlow. There was an article written on
that subject too in recent years.
do you know the parish your family
In case anyone is interested in the name Donohoe / Donnahoe Surname in
Carlow I found the following in the Primary Valuation of Tenements of 1851
for Carlow Town:
In 1851 there was a John Donohoe living at 37 Burrin Street in Carlow Town.
In 1851 there was a Michael Donohoe living at 34 Castle Hill and a Thomas
living at 37 Castle Hill in Carlow Town.
In 1851 there was a Owen Donohoe living at 42 Barrack Street in Carlow Town.
In 1851 there was a Charles Donohoe living at 14 Church Street, John living

Does anyone know of a place in Co Carlow - townland or estate perhaps - that
was called Fox Hill? A probable relation, George Cummins, named this as his
place of residence on his marriage registration in 1867. His bride, Eliza
Nurse, gave her residence as Castlemore, where my direct Cummins line was
from. Castlemore is a townland just a couple miles south of Tullow. I did
find a Fox Hill in Kildare, civil parish of Moone, which is not too far
away, but was just wondering if there was any other Fox Hill. On
Michael, thanks for that info on the books. I ordered the one on Carlow hope
it gives some information on the family I am looking for. If not it make a
nice addition to my bookcase.

Hi Laura.
Have you been able to establish a particular part of County Carlow that you
are interested in?
You mentioned a possibility of a hit in Griffiths Valuation, can you
enlighten us as to who it was and what town or area was mentioned?
You need to gives us much more information for us to be able to help you.

Thanks Pete,
I figured that the Fox Hill in Kildare is the closest that I will get to
Castlemore, but it was worth a try. I have run across Rathnashannagh before,
in the RC parish registers of Fenagh & Myshall, but unfortunately no Cummins
there either. They never make it easy, do they!
By the way, I'm gathering up all the Carlow Cummins I can find from whatever
sources I can get here in Massachusetts, and putting them into a database.
If anybody has a Carlow Cummins family, let me know.
