James Leahy born circa 1842

Hi Ryan,

I attach Civil records of the births of Mary Leahy - 1864; Michael - 1865 and James 1872. Parents: James Leahy and Honoria Kiely.

The address for Mary and Michael is Rathduff and for James - Cullen. Both addresses are in the Registration District of Emly and the Civil parish of Cullen - Barony of Clanwilliam. I did not find any baptismal record for them in www.rootsireland.ie or a marriage record for James and Honoria

Civil registrations for births are from January 1st. 1864.

You will find a number of families named Leahy in the area.

Ryan,

Further to previous post, Griffith's valuation c1850 has "Lahy" and Kiely in the townland of Rathduff. A check for the surname "Keely" in Souith Tipperary only show 3 entries. It is likely that Honoria's surname was Kiely rather than Keely, even though this appears to be the spelling in the baptism record for James.

There is a baptism record for a "James Leahy" in 1838 - Possible?

Thank you for your response. I will do some digging into all this. 

My great great grandfather was Denis Leahy from area around Thurles (Moycarkey and Fetherd). Please look up the Leahy ancestor project on Gedmatch and Facebook.
