Other Families

In the course of my research, I have picked up valuable information on a number of other families which are either connected by marriage to our own families, or which I believe, but cannot prove, are related to our families. Additional information would be very welcome. For details on these families, click on one of the surnames below:

Cork

O’Sullivan / Sullivan

Caheraveelane, Kilshannig

This family came from the same sparsely populated townland as our Sullivan family.

Mamie Lynch married Tom McDonnell, son of Lizzie Gordon, about 1930. Tom was my husband’s first cousin once removed.

Gordon

either Kilgarriff or Sheepwalk, Fairymount (Tibohine)

This family came from either the same townland as our Gordon family, or from one very close by; and as with our own Gordons, the name Cormac was traditional.

Tipperary

Carew

Soloheadbeg (from where most of the family emigrated to Newfoundland)

It’s possible Edmond Carew (born 1820) from this family was my great-great-grandfather, Edmond Carew, who was also born about 1820 in Soloheadbeg.
