Searching in Askeaton, Co. Limerick for information about g-g gf Patrick Lysaght, and wife who may have been Anne, Johnanna, and/or Mary Kinnerk. There was a large family of eleven children who immigrated to the USA abt 1850.

I have baptism records for four (4) of the children: Catherine:1830; Ann:1836; Jane: 1838, & Honora: Sep 1841 with father of Patrick Lysaght, and mother Anne or Johanna Kinnerk. However, I cannot locate a marriage record for a Patrick Lysaght and  Anne or Johanna Kinnerk, but I did find a marriage record for Patrick Lysaght and Mary Kinnerk dated 6 Feb 1841. It's conceivable that this marriage record is for a son, also named Patrick Lysaght.

    I have a copy of the 1827 Tithe Applotment Book record for a Patrick Lysaght & a John Lysaght in Ballynacaheragh, Askeaton, Limerick. However, I am unable to reconcile that information with what is in the Griffith's Evaluation record. Admittedly, I am not adept at interpreting those records. However, it may well be that there were seveal individuals named Patrick Lysaght in the vicinity at the period of interest.

    I do have a copy of the 1841 marriage record for Patrick Lysaght & Mary Kinnerk from RootsIreland. However, I think it may be for  the son, named Patrick Lysaght (Jr). If true, then the maiden name of his wife appears to be the same  as the maiden name of his mother. I do understand that this might not have been unusual in Ireland (or possibly elsewhere).

    From a publication entitled: "History of Northwestern Missouri" Vol III (page 1974) - pub 1915, it is stated that eleven children of  of Patrick Lysaght and Johanna (Knurth) Lysaght of County Limerick immigrated to the USA. These were:  Ellen, Johanna, Catherine, Bridget, John, Patrick, Margaret, Michael, Ann, Jane, & Honora. This source is not infallible, because I identified an error in a stated date on that page.

    From RootsIreland, I found baptism records for: Catherine (1830); Ann (1836); Jane (1838); and Honora (1841). I did not have the baptism record for either Johanna (1838) or Michael (1844), although I searched several sources.  I would like to know your source. If I can partially believe the history book cited above, then it would appear that Cornelius (1852) and/or Catherine (1857) were not members of my Patrick Lysaght family.

    Catherine Lysaght (1830) was my maternal-maternal great-grandmother. She married John Burke, reportedly of County Clare, at St. Patrick's Church in Washington, DC on 3 Jan 1855. The majority of the members  of the Lysaght and Burke families ultimately settled in northwestern Missouri.

  • Thanks,

    There are many baptism records that I have not yet found - assuming that they even exist. However, I will continue to search.  The "History of Northwest Missouri" Vol III, identifies eleven children of Patrick Lysaght and Johanna Knurth who immigrated to the USA. I have found what I believe to be the baptism records for four (4) of the listed children, all in Askeaton, with Patrick Lysaght and Ann or Johanna Kinnerk as parents. In addition, there is a record for a Michael Lysaght in St. Michael's Parish with Patrick Lysaght as father and a Johanna Carrick as mother. Then it gets murkier. I have no obvious way to verify what was published in that history; it could well be that there were cousins, rather than siblings in the group that emigrated.

  • The Patrick Lysaught & Mary Kinnerk who were married in Askeaton in 1841 came to Australia. He is not the son of your Patrick but he could be a cousin. His parents were Patrick Lysaugt and Kate Madden. Good Luck.
