I am looking for more info on my ancestor Catherine Dorgan's parents. I found her baptismal record from 30 Sep 1822 in Desertserges. It lists her parents as Denis Dorgan and Mary Sullivan. I cannot find any further info on either parent. Catherine married Daniel Herlihy in 1836 at the Cathedral Church of SS. Mary & Anne, Cork City. I believe she died 9 Feb 1890 as a widow somewhere in Cork according to the Civil Registration Index.  Thank you for your help!

  • Herlihy1,

    Civil death records have a Catherine Herlihy with an address: 30 Old Market Place, Cork.

    She is recorded as a widow and 69 years of age.

    Her death was notified by Nora? Herlihy

    Regards,

  • Herlihy1,

    A check of the Tithe Records 1823 - 1837 did not show any Denis Horgan for Desertserges parish which appears to be in the Union of Bandon and Clonakilty.

  • Thank you for checking. I am looking for Denis DORGAN - not Horgan. How do you look at the Tithe Records?

  • Thank you everyone for your help! So if I have a baptismal record for Cate/Kate Dorgan in Desertserges in 1822 and her parents do not appear on the Tithe Records from the following year does that mean they lived with their parents or a sibling that would have had the land/Tithe in their name? I've attached the baptismal record to this message.

  • Herlihy1,

    Apparently, Denis Dorgan did not possess any agricultural land in excess of one acre.

    He was possibly living with relatives of his wife.

    Attached some detail on the Tithes.

    Regards,
