  • Irish Birth in Co Kerry would the reg be in Tralee ?

    hopeless with Irish stuff

  • #2
    Not necessarily - reg districts in Co Kerry are: Cahirciveen, Dingle, Glin (dissolved after 1892 and split between Listowel and Rathkeale in adjoining co. Limerick), Kenmare, Killarney and Listowel as well as Tralee.


    Do you have the name of a townland or any other info which might help identify the reg district?

        Puzzled
        Co Westmeath is a good distance away from Co Kerry so what is the connection you have between the two areas? Co Westmeath is almost slap bang in the middle of Ireland with Kerry in the southwest.
        Killucan falls within the reg district of Mullingar in Co Westmeath.
        Do you want to put parents' names and timeframe for the births on here - assuming people concerned are no longer alive?

          oh really ?
          I have the marriage of a Michael Keegan an Engineer born abt 1825 to a Mary Smyth born abt 1825 married 11 Oct 1845 in Killucan Westmeath am looking for any children of theirs, I know of one a Patrick Keegan born abt 1850 , but am trying to find any others as his family all died out by 1929 , so am hoping to find any siblings that survived longer.
          Does that make sense ?

            This is what is coming up on Roots Ireland but unfortunately its pay to view for further info. Nothing coming up on Irish Genealogy for Westmeath.

                Thought that might happen Val

                It used to cost 25 credits to view but I gather now they have a new system where you can subscribe for a month, 6 month, or a year

                To search the Parishes you have to select the County on the map.

                I put in Keegan, Killucan, father Michael mother Mary Smyth. Births/Baptisms between 1845-65. This is what I got.

                Keegan:

                Bridget 1846
                John 1848
                Patrick 1850
                Michael 1852
                Elizabeth 1855
                William 1857

                    Val I bought some credits yonks ago and when you do that, they give you, or did used to, free searches for limited info. I still have quite a few if you need any more look ups

                      That son Patrick is my Aunts Grandfather, he married and had 4 children 2 died very young one daughter married my aunts Father she died in 1929 and my aunt never knew her, the other Daughter is one I cannot find Mary Kate Keegan born 9 Apr 1891 in Cork I'd love to find if she married as she would be the only link to her Mother that I know of.

                        So its your aunt's aunt??? I can see her with family 1901 and 1911 so stayed with family until aged 20 at least in Cork.

                        Not seeing her in the Civil reg in Ireland or England for marriage or death using Mary Kate but then she could be registered as Mary and lots of them. There is Dublin m in 1909 but then there is also a Dublin birth which fits that marriage.

                        Unfortunately not all of Cork's records are on Roots Ireland only Cork North and she is not on there for a marriage using the parents names. Not on Irish Genealogy either.

                        I have found an online cemetery register for Cork City. Will check that out to see if there is an early death.
                        Wonder if she emigrated.

                            Not sure if you have this. Whilst looking for Mary Kate in St Joseph's Cemetery, Cork City found a burial for

                            Mary Keegan aged 49 23 St Georges St. Not seeing Mary Kate yet

                                Yes I was surprised at that unless Patrick pre-deceased her.

                                That burial index only goes to 1917 unfortunately although they will look up later deaths providing you have the date. I see Mary was single at the time of Josephine's marriage and did not use Kate when she signed the register as a witness

                                There are marriages in Cork for 1921 1924 and 1941 but 11 possible spouses.

                                  Patrick died in 1929 same year as Josephine funny enough, he died in Little Sisters of the poor convent , considering he was an Engineer,Fireman, I would have thought he would have made sure his wife went into a better grave ? very odd.

                                      That is strange. I wonder if he was in employment when Mary died. She died at home so I'm sure if he was still living there he would have provided a different spot for her. Maybe he was sick if he subsequently died in the Convent.


                                      Yikes Val that a lot of mc's. Not sure but I think there is a cheap copy. Will check

                                        in 1911 he is a Railway Engine driver and on his Death Cert it says Engineer , so should have earned good money.
