Hi List:

I am looking for anyone who is researching the NASH name with ties to
the BELESAIGNES. I have a reference to the following family and would
like to contact someone who is researching them:

Matthew John Belesaigne NASH m. Mary Richards NASH ca. 1860
child: John Belesaigne NASH (b. 15 June 1866) (Recorded in the Parish
of Cork 0105)

Does anyone know where the parish "Cork 0105" is? Thank you.

I am particularily interested in the BELESAIGNES from Innishannon
Village and Cork City (the line is now extinct) and anyone who has this
surname in their family line. It is a French Huguenot name and has a
compelling history. The line can be traced back to the Languedoc area
of France as recorded in the "Cork Historical and Archaeological
Journal" (Vol. XXII, No. 109, p. 80.)

I am searching the Belesaignes as Mary Jane BELESAIGNE married Thomas
HORNIBROOK ca 1795 in Bandon. The HORNIBROOKS (Corran House -
Dunkareen, Springfield and North Main Street - Bandon) are my main line
of interest.

Thank you.
