Hello folks, 

I am searching for any information on Cornelius Hickey's burial (or any other information on him). Unfortunately, we have search through everything such as speaking to our distant cousins, genealogy websites, etc. but we are constantly hitting a brick wall here. It was very recently that we have heard from someone that he may be buried in Castlehyde Cemetery (I am not sure where it is). Would someone know where or who I can contact about this? Is it possible that there is a list of of surnames available? 

Here are some information that we have on Cornelius Hickey:

birth and death dates are unknown (we don't even know his parents) 

married Bridget Barry on 23 Feb 1823 in Lismore, Co. Waterford 

He may have resided in Ballyporeen, Co. Tipperary 

Father of six children: Thomas, David, Cornelius, Maurice, Margaret and Catherine (all but one child emigrated to North America -  Margaret stayed in Ireland where she married Patrick Drislane and raised their family in Ballyporeen)

I know it is a very long shot but any help would be great! 

Thank you very much, 

Jordyn

  • Jordyn,

    The reference to Castlehyde may be in relation to Castlehyde graveyard, Fermoy, Co. Cork.

    Lismore is only a short distance from Fermoy.

    Please see attached.

  • Hello McCoy, 

     

    Thank you so much for the article. I am so glad to hear that the cemetery is going through a clean-up and I look forward to the outcome. A huge thank you to a group of volunteers who are devoting their free time to Castlehyde Cemetery.

  • Jo,

    I have all the headstone transcriptions for the headstones at Castlehyde. I'm afraid there is no Cornelius Hickey on any of the headstones. There are no other records for Castlehyde, apart from a few from the 1700s.

    Best wishes, Kieran
