Re: Paulina McCarthy d/o John Augustus McCarthy

giffd — 2009-11-01 01:41:48Z

John Augustus McCarthy will be an easy man to learn about. He was one of the first settlers in South Easthope township in the Canada Company Holdings near Stratford Canada. He came here and settled in 1832 and he was the first Police Chief in Stratford. Many of his descendants have strong ties, another also a Police Chief died fighting the burning of the Knox church in 1913. Another competed in the 1908 olympics as a cyclist. Contact the Stratford Perth Archives for help.

Yes, I just checked my line and I have Ellen (Nell) born 1882 in Clinton. Married to John D. Devlin. Ellen's parents John J. McCarthy born Dec. 15 1852, died Aug.23 1923. Married Catherine Kelleher Oct. 24, 1871. Born Oct.1852, died 1937. Both born in Ireland. Never heard of Catherine or Bridget (my great grandma)having any brothers? That I would love to hear more about. I have is Nancy/Ann Kelleher being Catherines mom, Bridget and Mary being sisters.

Hi~ My grandmother on my mother's side was Ellen Johanna McCarthy Devlin and lived in Clinton, IA. Her parents were John McCarthy b/May 1855 Cty Cork and Catherine Kelleher b/Oct 1853 in Cty Mayo. I don't have any other dates/info on her parents, but I have that she had 4 sisters and 4 brothers. I have some of their dates/spouses,etc.
Is this the line you are following?

Re: McCarthys from Clinton, Iowa

jaknry — 2009-10-30 13:20:07Z

I only knew that Catherine b/1853 in County Mayo had one sister Mary. Were Bridget and Ann her sisters as well? John McCarthy was b/May 1855 in Cty Cork and they had 9 children. Does this help? Who is Nancy?

Re: McCarthys from Clinton, Iowa

beerhunter66 — 2009-10-26 04:56:58Z

My great grandmother was Bridget Kelleher, Catherines sister. Was trying to see if anyone from Catherines,Marys or Anns (Nancy) side has any more info that I might not have.

Re: McCarthy of County Cork

skibbgirl — 2009-10-17 17:34:21Z

Barb, I am being a pest. I realized that Lettertinish can be spelled Lettertinlish (extra letter L before "ish").

Just want to make sure you have checked the Castlehaven and Castlehaven South D.E.D.s of Cork in the 1911 census online. Looks like there are a good number of McCarthys in Bawnlahan, Toehead, Ballyisland, Drishane More, Forenaght, Lettertinlish, etc, etc.

Okay, now off to the FHC!

Re: McCarthy of County Cork

skibbgirl — 2009-10-17 17:13:27Z

Barb,

Meant to add, I do notice in the 1911 census there are McCarthys in Baltimore and a townland called Letter in a D.E.D. called Crookhaven, which I don't think is the right Letter.

I'm heading out right now to the family history center to look at McCarthys in 1901 census film - if I happen to stumble across Baltimore, Lettertinish, and Lough Hyne, I'll try and copy it.

Re: McCarthy of County Cork

skibbgirl — 2009-10-17 17:09:11Z

Hi Barbara!

I just did a quick search of the Eircom phonebook, and indeed it looks like there aren't McCarthys in Baltimore, Letter (or Lettertinish), or Lough Hyne.

I've been told my McCarthys are McCarthy Sowney (Samhna). From googling around (and if the information is correct) there were two main branches of McCarthys, the Mor branch and the Reagh branch.

Within the Reagh branch are Samhna (Sowney), Foirsin, and Carthaigh. (This information is NOT easy to come by, so I cannot vouch for the accuracy!)

So there could be a connection, but it likely precedes the 19th century. I don't think my McCarthys lived down toward Baltimore. I think mine were more from Lissane, in Caheragh parish, Drimoleague and particularly Dunmanway areas.

I've been in touch with another McCarthy hunter (Leila Mayberry) and she and I seem to have family trees tangled up with each other. Her Margaret McCarthy looks very suspiciously like my great grandmother, but the two Ellens (sister of Margaret) we have just don't seem to match. So I have sent a research query to the GRO with a list of references to 17 Ellen McCarthys born 1870-1874 in this area, with a request to send me a copy of the birth record of any Ellen whose father is Cornelius and whose mother is named Mary. It should take about six weeks.

Re: McCarthy of County Cork

WalshBarb — 2009-10-17 16:08:37Z

Skibgirl - My gr gr grandmother was Maria [pronounced Mariah] McCarthy from Letter [Lettertinish), Skibbereen. She was born ca 1815. Maria married Michael Minihane of Ballyally, near Lough Hyne, east of Baltimore., and had six children. It is said that we are of the Reagh/Riobach McCarthy clan.

I know that Maria had one brother, Daniel, who married Ellen Minihane, Michael's sister. They emigrated to Canada with all their children. I've found the names Charles and Patrick McCarthy in the Letter area in the 1800s. There are no McCarthys from this line currently living in Letter.

Do you think there might be any connection?

Leila,

I am right now researching the same Ellen McCarthy. I believe she was my Granddad's maternal aunt. I was told by my first cousin once removed Michael Collins of Bunalun that his dad's mom (and my granddad's mom) "had many sisters" and that "one of them was named Ellen."

My Granddad's mom was Margaret McCarthy. Her father was Cornelius McCarthy of Lissane. Her mother was very likely Mary Collins. Her husband was Humphrey "Humphrey Mickey" Collins. Granddad was one of their kids. She died in 1906 after giving birth to their 10th child.

I am aware of Margaret, Mary, and Ellen among those siblings. I have just asked Skibbereen Heritage Center to search the baptismals for *all* those McCarthy children.

Mike McCarthy's son - Washington State?

Chrisrf1964 — 2009-09-24 13:10:11Z

Hello, I am looking for my uncles son, who I think is named Rob. You would have been born in the 80's I believe, maybe the late 70's? Last we heard about you, you were a biker and maybe in a few scrapes with the law? Uncle Mike passed away in 2007 in WA state as well. He was born in CA Aug 1944 to Barbara C Wilson McCarthy Hughes and Thomas McCarthy (they both passed away in 1988). Not sure if you were given Uncle Mike's last name?

I am searching for a Patrick McCarthy who came to New York from County Clare. He married in 1865 in New York City. I see you have a son of a William McCarthy who would be about the right age. Did that Patrick come to the US?

My Patrick named his children Thomas, Bridget, William Joseph and Anna/Anne. It appears that after his wife died a Bridget, old enough to be his mother, was living with the family.

Thanks for any info!

Mystery solved and many thanks. Copy of registration of this marriage establishes that George Maybury of the Herbert Estate, Muckross, Killarney, married Mary Jane McCarthy, spinster daughter of Robert McCarthy, harbour master of Tralee.

Re: Robert McCarthy of Tralee, Kerry, Ireland (1812-1870)

MichaelSmithson36 — 2009-09-26 05:53:22Z

I have some information on the Mary Jane who married George Maybury of Killarney and who emigrated to Canada where she died in 1883. However, it suggests that Mary Jane married into the McCarthy family and her maiden name was Doran. She was a widow when she married George. Email me at wandan@ozemail.com.au to compare notes and solve mysteries.

James McCarthy Parents: Timothy McCarthy/Ellen

staceylynn61 — 2009-08-28 05:29:46Z

Hello fellow seekers,
I am trying to help a dear friend get started on recording some of her paternal family history. There is really very little known due to circumstances. I will list tidbits she knows and "family lore/tradition" in hopes someone, somewhere MAY have a few answers or shoves in the right direction.
James McCarthy born: abt. 1905-1909 *told he came with parents/siblings from Ireland to B.C Canada
died: USA, state of Washington...we suspect the Seattle area (Yes, we have seen the SSI death records..there are 2-3 possibilities)
married: abt. 1928-1930 *We presume the State of Washington
to: Carolyn Tackett
born: abt. 1910 * we are told her "people" came from Oklahoma/Missouri and moved west to California
James McCarthy's father:
TIMOTHY McCARTHY
born: County Cork, Ireland (or so tradition goes)
died: Canada?
wife's name is suppose to be ELLEN (no known maiden name)
they had approx. 12-14 children
I KNOW it isn't much to go on but am hoping some of the names may ring a bell with someone actively researching the family. Thanks for any help!

Patrick Gerald Eugene McCarthy

vra115 — 2009-09-05 11:37:51Z

The above was my paternal grandfather. Born in Ireland, possibly Killarney or Kerry, about 1874. In 1901 he was staying in Hadleigh, Essex and in 1902 married Emily Olley. He had three sons : Gerald Olley 1904 (died at age 2 days), Patrick Olley, (born 1905, died 1960, Bernard Eugene, my father (born 1906, died 1975). Seeking information prior to 1901. He supposedly came from a big Catholic family and was thrown out by his sisters after joining the Salvation Army.
