My wife's great grandmother, Elizabeth Ahern was born in Castlelyons about 1847. She married John Joseph Neville in Castlelyons on 15 February 1874.

Does anyone have any information on the Aherns or the Nevilles before their emigration to Australia in 1881.

Any assistance at all will be greatly appreciated.

Our family will be visiting Castlelyons May/June 2017. My ancester was born in Castlelyons but we are having a hard time finding when he came to the USA. It is possible the spelling changed during the transit. His name was Maurice (Morris) Coughlin or Coughlan and was born 1825. It's possible that his father was Patrick born approximately 1800. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. darakevin@tds.net

I am seeking information of any sort about Thomas Griffin who was baptized July 1842 at Castlelyons. His parents names were Thomas Griffin and Joha[?] Denny. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1863 and fought in the American Civil War in 1864-65. He apparently contacted an eye disease during the war and was blinded to some extent. In 1875 , He married Lucy Belson , born 1836 at Killonan, Limerick . She and her family immigrated to the U.S. in 1858 via Montreal, Canada. They selltled in an Irish community at Erin , Washington Co. , Wisconsin. They had one daughter, Mary Jane. She is the grandmother of Kathy Abruzzo, a friend of ours. I am helping Kathy with her genealogy, as she plans to come to the Castlelyons area this summer. She has the hopes of visiting where her grandparents originated in Ireland.

If there are descendants in the area or genealogists with information, please contact us. Also, information about the area would be helpful. My email address is higgs@jcwifi.com'

Thank you!

Hi, my name is Clare Leahy, I am looking for any information on my Grandfather, Matthew Murphy from the Castlelyons area. He married my Grandmother Margaret C "teeny" Kent of Castleview Castlelyons, sometime between 1911 and 1916. He died 12/1/1938 and is buried in the old Cemetary in Castlelyons. They had two sons Matthew Noel & Pierce Joseph (Joe). Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to find more information on John Joseph O'Connell a Blacksmith, Born Sept 1861, Castlelyons Parish. At that time would Bartlemy have been included in the Parish.

Does any reader know of any O'Connell's Blacksmiths from the area from around that time to present. Any info at all would be appreciated.

Our O'Briens were located at Pellick and Kilcor Castles from or before 1525 to about 1850 when Cornelius O'Brien sold the property - Therefore, we have assembled a great deal of information about this clan - In reviewing the Genealogical Table (draft) we became curious about the inter-marriages of the Clans (families) in the area during this period - Because of this, we have begun to research the following groups for our records

They are, the O'Briens, Barry, O'Callaghan, O'Connor, and Coppinger's -

Should you have any information about these great historical families please forward to me at pob1@roadrunner.com -
THANKS and GOD BLESS

Hello,
It is possible that my great-grandfather, James Kent, was from Castlelyons. We think he was born around 1845 and immigrated to the U.S. in the 1860s. He married Catherine Donovan. We believe she was from County Cork, but have no more specific information about her birthplace.

Would anyone know more about either James Kent or Catherine Donovan?

Thank you. sharondoherty8@yahoo.com
