Hello List!
Have just subscribed, but don't really know where to start!
I think for now I would be happy if any one had any information on emmigration, possibly from Cork, to Liverpool in a period around the 1850s. I'm afraid I can't be more specific.
My mother-in-law's family settled in Cardiff actually, but I'm lead to believe they came via Liverpool - were there no crossings straight over from Cork to Wales? Perhaps when they got to Liverpool they decided to travel to Cardiff. I have to base all m

Hello folks,
Many of the oldtimers to Cork Genealogy are familiar with me, hello to all
and hope everyone's well. I'm still around, concentrating on my Philadelphia
research and involved with all sorts of projects.
One of the projects I've transcribed in the past was an 1824 directory for
Cork City. I did this in tandem with Margaret Moon a couple of years ago. Many
of you know of Margaret, either by direct contact with her or through using the
important Cork genealogical resources she has transcrib
For what it's worth Julie. Mine too came from Cobh (then Queenstown) to
Liverpool and had two children baptised at St Anthony's. And lived in the
Dale Street registration area. It was sheer luck finding that. And from the
registry of St Anthony's there appear to have been lots of Irish there. I
don't know whether O'Brien is harder to find than Barry ! Hope you get lucky
too.

Bob--I am interested in the book, but also wish to know what timeframe it
includes. My Donovans were married in Leap 1841, when it belonged to another
Doicese. But before the St Mary's church was founded, the Parish was the Diocese
of Cloyne. Would it cover those years?

I'm not sure if I understand the question. By estate do you mean one of the
large private landholdings? they didn't really own the parishes although in
some cases in the Church of Ireland a very large land owner might be
appointed impropriator, in which case he would take the tithes for himself
and pay the vicar a salary. But this was not that common and of course never
applied to the catholic church. Only a small number of parishes would have
been dominated by a large estate in that way.

There was far more coastal shipping back then than there is today. There
were a number of companies offering regular sailing between Cork and
numerous other ports but most notably Neyland (then called Milford Haven but
not to be confused with todays port of that name), Fishguard, and Bristol.
There were also sailings direct to Liverpool but it was probably easier to
go via Dublin.
All were considered local internal sailings, there were no passenger lists.

Interesting you should ask.
My Cork families left for Wales 1865, where I have spent years researching.
The librarian there says in the 1800s+ the Irish made the several hour
boatride home from Merthyr Tydfil frequently for important events such as weddings
and baptisms.

It is almost impossible to locate any individual that far back especially as
you seem to have few clues as to whereabouts in Cork. Most Catholic parish
records start around 1830 (give or take), Church of Ireland are sometimes
much older but a large number of them were destroyed in 1922. There was a
religious census taken in the diocese of Cloyne in 1766 but there is no

Canada Charges Famine Ship Replica

MONTREAL (AP) - The warm reception given a commemorative Irish famine ship
that sailed into Montreal last week turned unexpectedly cool when the ship's
owners were slapped with $12,000 in fees.
At least 8,000 people in Canada toured the Jeanie Johnston vessel - a
pine-and-oak replica of a Canadian-built boat that ferried about 2,500
people from Ireland's County Kerry to North America between 1848 and 1855
