looking for info on Corbitt and Dearney, mid 1800's from Cork or Tipperary

Hi Lori,

Thank you very much for your query to Ireland Reaching Out. I would consider the census record to be a bit more accurate than word of mouth. It is possible that Cork was part of your family's history in some way (perhaps they lived there once, had other relatives living there, or sailed from there). In such a case, please place your message on the County Tipperary parish profile page here: http://www.irelandxo.com/group/county-tipperary

Check more official documents in the US. You might find more clues about the location where they were from.

You should also consider all the variant spellings of the two surnames, for example, Corbitt could also be Corbett, etc.

Best of luck in your research!

Kind regards,

Sinead Cooney

Hi Lori,

Go to rootsireland.ie and put in ellen's name with a year of 1850.  this will throw up may records.  Go down the page and click on counties Cork and Tipperary.  Then put in Patrick in the fathers name and you will get 2 hits. one for Cork and one for tipp.  the other one is 1852 so may not be your ancestor.

You will need to open these to see if this is the correct record.  It will cost about €5 per view but the site is really good for parish records.  most records are on this site but for the few counties that are not the government has started www.irishgenealogy.ie (totally free).  Cork county is split between two websites.

If you can find Ellen, you'll eventually find her parents.

Kind regards,

Anne K Dennehy
