Hello Kathy, 30/August/2006
Thanks for the reply.
I have connections to or descents from all of the surnames you mentioned, and am familiar with all of the areas which you mentioned because they're all around the Glengarriff/Bantry area of West Cork. But I can't immediately see any direct connection with your families.
My parents both came from Glengarriff, and I'm just down the road from Chiswick in Ealing, West London.
I'm descended from O'Sheas of Rossnasunsogue, Hurleys of Holly Hill/Droumgarriff, and O'Learys of Droumadown/Droumgarriff. I'm also related to Connollys of Holly Hill/Droumgarriff and descended from other Connollys probably near Tracashel. My cousin married a Cronin from Borlin, and so I have young cousins of that name in Rossnasunsogue.
I hope that any of this helps.
Regards. Michael O'Shea.
