Subject: RE: BUCKLEY (Cork to Wales to Pittsburgh)
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:58:02 +0000
Hello John and other Cork to Merthyr Wales searchers. My Timothy Collins and Margaret Murphy(first husband a Buckley) arrived there from Cork and married at St. Illtyds in 1853. I have the parish records for both St. Mary's and St. Illtyds RC churches. Baps and marriages for both and deaths for St. Mary's as well as many rellies covering many many Irish names. I have not found any that migrated to US except my gmother and a living cousin did not know of any although I am sure there were. I have school records for some of the schools.
I have been doing this for quite some time and I still do not know where in Cork they originated. This is my quest.
As for Buckley's James Cleary wife Margaret Buckley had son Timothy b. 1866 Easons Hill Cork and he married my Catherine Collins 1890. He had sibs Mary Ellen b. 1871 and Patrick b. 1874.
My Wales Irish names: COLLINS, MURPHY, NAEGLE, REARDON,DONOVAN,BUCKLEY,SULLIVAN,CLEARY,STAFFORD,MURRAY,KENACHIN,LYNCH,HEALEY AND OTHERS.
