Hello,

has anyone any connection to the family of Denis McCarthy ( c 1802 - 1882 ) who married Catherine Lowney / Looney / Loney and lived in Clougheenduane and Killaminogue?  They married in 1825 and their children were:  Jeremiah 1828, Daniel 1829, Joney ( Johanna ) 1834, Cornelius 1837, Margaret 1839, Mary 1842, Denis 1845, John 1852.  Jeremiah married Catherine Callaghan of Corran in Ballyheada in 1867.  Her father's name, according to her marriage certificate, was Jeremiah Callaghan, but I have never been able to find a definite baptismal  date for her, nor place.  And no mother's name.  Her sister, Honora, married Eddy Barrett and they had the pub and quarry in Killeady - Kinsale Junction .  She also had a brother Daniel and sister Mary, but we know very little about the Callaghans except that they farmed in Corran, were known to the family as ' mountainy ' and were also related to the Twomeys in Corran.

The McCarthys were also related to the O Briens, the Barrys, and the Coakleys, and Jeremiah McCarthy died in Ballintober in 1884.  His father farmed the Glebe land in Clougheenduane, although the family always called it Templemichael, and I'm pretty certain that they are buried in the tiny churchyard there, as they lived next to it.  The old church, which was C of I, and biult by the Meades, came down in about 1884.  Denis appears in the Guy's Directory of Cork,1875, in Clogheenduane, and in Griffiths in Killaminoge, but can only find Daniel, Michael, and John McCarthy's names in the Tithe Lists.
