I am visiting Ballingarry from Australia on 23rd September and have read of the work of Bill Martin and Noreen Maher on Ireland XO News. I have done extensive research on my great grand father David Curtin born 15 August 1837, son of Timothy Curtin and Mary Hannan. I have found record of Timothy Curtin in the Balingarry Tithe Applotment Books of 1827 in the Townlands of Ballyelane and Ballygrennan. However, I have never been able to find conclusive confirmation that this Timothy Curtin is the father of David Curtin, nor have I yet found documentation of the marriage of Timothy Curtin and Mary Hannan, nor chrisrening records of David or his siblings Edward and Jeremiah. My link to Ballingarry arises from a DNA test linking me to a Hannan descendent in Australia who has traced his ancestry to Hannans/Hannons of Ballingarry.
If possible I would like contact details for Bill or Noreen so I can contact either of them when I arrive. I have alengthy word document which I could also send if I have a contact email address.
Regards
Bryan Curtin

Noreen is actually parish liaison for Ballingarry Slieveardagh in Co. Tipperary as opposed to Ballingarry in Limerick.
