Looking for the birthplace Townland in Cullen, Co. Cork for my greatgrandmother Bridget Buckley, born 10 Nov 1825. Father may have been William or Timothy. May have had brother William born abt. 1824-1828, brother John born abt. 1830. They emigrated to Boston, MA, USA around 1849 and settled in Iowa.

Kathleen:
The RC church records for that parish do not begin until 1835.
I also checked the Tithe Applotment listings www.titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie in Cullen parish. There were Buckley/Buckly records in Cullen but no Thomas or William.
I also looked at the 1852 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Cullen. There are a good number of Buckleys listed. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/cork/cullen.htm
I didn't know if the father emigrated with the children or if he was even alive in 1852,
