Hi Lulu,

Hi Cousin,

Condolences re your Dad Jeremiah.

I am in contact with two of yours and my cousins in Australia, one being descended from Packie's uncle (Patrick Joseph) as you are from Ellen (baptised 23 November 1888).  

Presume that your Dad's parents were Eileen and John Liston and 5 of the 6 children were Anne, John, Jeremiah, Eileen and Christine.

Ellen's (McInerney) youngest sibling was John who was Packie's father and the second youngest was Patrick Joseph. 

Also I am in touch with Mary O'Mara Hayes of Feakle.

You mentioned Anne Casey.  Two of my cousins travelled to Drumcharley and met up with Packie and were taken around by Anne Casey.  I was told that she is not very well.

Also I have been in Contact with Tom McInerney from Ridgefield Connecticut USA (not that far from Newtown).

Also my uncle married a New Zealander also two of his sons married New Zealanders.  I am sure they (and I) would like to get in touch with them.

I have quite a lot of family info and would like to share with you.  (Also a lot of leaves to be shaken from the tree)

 Best wishes

Hi lulu,

You are Lena's grandaughter?????? omg i have been looking under every rock to find out what happened to Mary, Lena and Daniel, the are they last two in the family that i have been able to find nothing on!!!! I am Patrick Joseph McInerney's granddaughter so Lena was my mothers Aunty, my grandfather left Ireland in 1906 as a DeLasailan brother, he first went to South Africa and later on to Australia. I have found records that he returned home in 1925 after his father John died, he left Delasilan order in 1932 and married my grandmother in 1935. We know nothing about the family because Mum said that back then adults didnt speak about their lives. Mum's name is Margaret after the eldest girl and her older sister's name is Delia, there is one more sister Geraldiane who was named after my grandmothers father Jeremiah Lehane who was from Co Cork. I would love to hear from you !!!!!

Regards

Sue your third cousin or something like that.... PS i have met Kevin from the Denis McInerney side

i have also added my grandparent wedding photo

sorry my laptop is playing up and i posted the wrong jpg, i will find the one of pop and nan and up load it a little later. I am a little frazzled at the moment because we buried my youngest brother yesterday

I am so thrilled to have found someone related to Lena (Ellen)

Regards

Sue

Do you know what happened to Thomas ? Would have been Ellen's brother got caught up in the raising of 1916 ( turns up on the rolls) then disappears 

There was no Thomas in Ellen's family, there was Mary, Patrick (who must have died as a baby), Margaret, Delia, Daniel, Ellen (also known as Lena), Patrick (my grandfather) and John

Hi Louise,

Your last post,  I do not have any details of a Thomas at all.

With Anne Casey, presume Anne Liston was born in about 1921.  You mentioned that Joe had died, presumably quite early in their marriage.

You mentioned a photo found around the sale at Drumcharley.  Who is John and Honoria Mcinerney?  Do you know anything re the sale? timing etc 

Would like to see the photo.  My email address is kevin_gail_mcinerney@hotmail.com

Will share the info I have on the families.

Kevin

Hi Louise,

just thought i would let you know that Kevin and I found each other through the internet and our family history research, his arm on the McInerney's ended up in Australia long before our arm. We have managed to trace to James McInerney who seemed to have arrived in Drumcharley some time between 1819 and 1826. James was the father of Dan and Denis, Kevin comes from Denis' arm and you and I come from Dan. Dan was John McInerney's father and your's and my Great Great Grandfather.

Hi Sue, Kevin and Louise:

So glad to see all the new connections being made!!!  This is great.

I just wanted to add to Kevin's query about receiving Civil Births, Marriages and Deaths, that these are all available online now through www.irishgenealogy.ie.  However, I believe that the older (earlier) Births for Tulla do not have a group ID.  If an entry does not have this group ID, it has to be ordered throug the General Register Office.  This can be done at a cost of €4.00.  The form to order is available through this link:

https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/images/content/GRO_Documents/Form_for_DAH…; Many thanks to Claire Santry for this link. 

There is a burial register which has been transcribed as an excel spreadsheet and look-ups are done through Tulla XO. 

If you need further clarification or information, please don't hesitate to contact us at:  tulla@irelandxo.com.

All the best,

Jane

Hi Jane,
