Dunmanway Perish, county Cork

Hi, 
Deaths were not recorded until 1864, some Parish books have them, you are just lucky if you find any.
I did find this marriage, it may not be her.............1871 it says in the age box "aged". Which means she was old and so was he.
It's the only one I found with the Father named Denis.

This is where you would find any deaths if there are any there.

Hi Margot;

Thank you for your response and your research. I have also reviewed the Catholic parish records at nLI for Dunmanway, and I found an interesting possibility, a marriage on 24-Feb-1846 with a Davey (?) Crowley to a Mary Regan with a Daniel Regan (Daniel was her older brother) listed. Please look at this record and see what you think about it. This is also interesting since Mary's sister Catherine Regan married a Timothy Crowley in London Ontatio Canada in October 1846 after the main group of the family arrived in Canada. My thouhts are that Mary Regan either stayed in Dunmanway and married (the only logical reason why she would not go to Canada with the rest of the family) or went to Canada with the rest of the family. Someone suggested she may have become a nun in Canada, and that is why I do not find her in any Canadian records. So my best guess so far is that Mary Regan was either a wife in Dunmanway or a nun in Canada.

Hi Rick, Sorry but can you send me the link to the record of 24th Feb 1846.
I have looked but can't see it, sorry.

   I had a look in another tree in Ancestry, are you in touch with anyone from the Cornelius line?

Hi Margot;

Here is the link to the Dunmanway church marriage records. https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633409#page/1/mode/1up. There were many marriages on 24-Feb-1846, and about half way down the page I found D... Crowley marrying Mary Regan. This seems to fit our Mary Regan, but I do not have any supporting data that would prove it cmpletely. I have traced several descendants of the brothers of my Daniel Regan (1821-1895), but so far only made contact with living descendants of John Regan in Livingston county Missouri, but they do not seem to want to work on the family ancestry. A few years ago I made contact via DNA testing with my Irish cousin Paddy Murphy in Skibbereen. He is the one who pointed me to Dunmanway where I found the baptismal records fror my Daniel Regan and his siblings. Paddy & I have figured out that we are connected on his mother's side (her famiy was from Dunmanway), but not yet identified the exact common ancestors. I have been trying to locate a living descendant of one of Daniel Regan's siblings and have that person take a DNA test to show if Paddy & I are connected on Daniel Regan's side or his wife (Catherine Sheridan) side. Paddy does not have a lot of ancestry data on his mother's side, so we are trying to use my line to identify our common ancestors, than carry it forward on his family side.

Hi thanks I got it.

Going by the searching I have done over the years I would say that is 99.9% correct.
 The tree that has Cornelius, has Mary death.
