- Arundels of Clonakilty, Co. Cork.
I've recently discovered the surname Arundel in my family tree. The family I think I'm related to were from Grancore, Clonakilty. Apparently my ancestor moved to Galway around the time of the Great Famine. I know a Margaret Arundel married James Donovan in 1936 in Clonakilty. Margaret's father was John and William was her grandfather. If anyone has further information on the Arundels of Clonakilty in general, or on the Grancore branch of which William born about 1801 is the farthest back I can trace, then I would be extremely grateful. The names Edward and Edmund seem to also appear in this family. Thank you. Breda Alcorn.

Hi Breda,
I attach detail of a William Arundel - marriage 1799. Parish of Lislee. The record is partly in latin and difficult to decipher.
There are "Arundel"/ Arundell records in County Cork from 1602..
Some are Church of ireland and others Roman Catholic.

Hi Breda,
You have mentioned that there was a connection to Galway - Arundel.
I attach detail of a "Michael Arundel" born in Cork c1822 who joined the British Army in 1841 and retired to Galway city following retirement.
There is a Civil marriage record for a Michael Arundel in Birr, Co. Offaly in June 1864 to a Jane Fitzgerald. As there are a number of families named "Arundel" in that County, it cannot be regarded as the same person!
Best Wishes,
McCoy

There was a Miitary barracks in Birr, so it is possible that this was his last posting?

Hi McCoy
thanks for the info. I'm amused to see Michael Arundel pop up again as originally my family were told a Jane Arundel was an ancestor. She was however, Arundel by marriage and yes Michael was her husband. He did live in Galway and ended his days in Birr. I spent a fair bit of time looking into Michael's family and the details didn't make sense. I was then told our ancestor was Johanna from Clonakilty, born around 1830. She was living in Athenry by 1861. I only located one Johanna with birth date and location close to what I know. William based in the Kilgarriff area was her father as far as I know. Grancore (modern spelling) seems to have been their townland. Margaret Arundel who married a James Donovan in 1936 is William's granddaughter. It would be great to discover any living Cork descendants or to go further back the line. The Clonakilty parish records have Joan Regan down as mother of Johanna, christened 1829. However there seem to have been several Joan Regans in the area. Thanks so much for your efforts, I'll look into what you came up with. Breda Alcorn.

My ancestor spent some time in the U.S. from about the 1840s to about 1860. She was Joanna Arundel born 1829 from Clonakilty. Would it be possible to find her on ships passenger lists and how would I go about this? I don't have exact dates or know what U.S. Port she travelled to.
Thank you.
Breda Alcorn.
