I am researching the ancestors of Murtagh DORSEY(DARCY, DORCY, DORCEY) (b. 1806 in Ireland, prob. Tipperary d. 1883 North Greenwich, Washington Co. NY USA). My information shows that a man named "Martin Darcy" lived in the parish of Monsea/Killodiernan from 1835 to 1842. His wife's name was "Catherine" and three of his children were baptized in that parish. Griffiths PV added the information that two men by the surname "Dorsey" or "Darcy" lived in the Parish of Monsea/Killodiernan ca. 1851 James Darcy and Murtagh Darcy, both living in the townland of Killadangan. The latter is undoubtedly the gentleman who held a 91 acre leasehold before the famine and was elected Poor Law Guardian for Nenagh Poor Law Union about 4 years before the Famine.
I do not believe my Murtagh is his son, but that may be the case--I rather think he was the son of James Darcy of the same townland.
Any information would be helpful.
Sponsors of my Murtagh's children at batism included Michael Darmody, Denis Hogan and several members of the Cleary family (Winnifred and Margaret)
