Feeney

Sean:

See the fifth record at this link https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1866/03537/2302029.pdf

Would  this be the correct record?

I could not locate a Corafin in Co. Galway. The closest would be Corrafaireen. There is a also the town of Corrafin in Co. Clare.

Thanks Roger, that looks promising. Can you tell me how I can access the other areas you mentioned she may have come from? 

Hi Sean,

Emigrants often declared they were 18 years old at the time. There is a Birth record in Corofin Parish, Galway also referred to as Cummer or KIlmoylan parish.

The townland is Curry. Attaching a copy of Civil Birth Registration record for Bridget born 14th January 1867 to William Feeney & Bridget Clarke.

Note from copy of Church records that the period 1860 to 1872 is not available.

Link to 1901 Census record for William & Bridget Feeney  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Cummer/Curry_Ei…;

Attached copies of Death records for William & Bridget Feeney. William's brother Bryan Feeney was present at both. This appears to indicate that they had no family in Ireland at that time.

I have a lot of research completed on Bryan/Brian/Bernard Feeney and his family. you may contact me at gerlisheen@gmail.com
