What about these people? Doneraile is near Mallow: http://www.irish-roots.net/mallow.asp Mallow Heritage Centre Address: 27-28 Bank Place, Mallow, Co. Cork Opening Hours: All year round. 10.30am-1pm, 2pm-4pm Monday-Friday (The phone number and email etc are on the website, above) They have Roman Catholic parish records for lots of nearby places, inc: Doneraile Baps 1815-1895 Marriages 1815-1895 and Church of Ireland: Doneraile Baps 1730-1900 Marriages 1741-1895 Burials 1700-1899 I'm sure there must be something they could help you with!! Often the people in these heritage centres and the like have a vast knowledge of local/social history etc etc Good Luck Merry

That far back will probably be too distant to find exact locations, but you may find their local church. It's lovely to visit places, where ancestors lived. If you put ...IRISH,,,or ..IRELAND in the search boxes on these boards, you may get some more ideas. Enjoy your visit.

Hi, I have found that my G.G.G.Grandparents were from Doneraile, near Cork Ireland. I am going to Ireland at the end of the week and would love to see the town where they are from. Is there anything I should be doing while I am there with regards to helping my search? I would hate to get back and find out I should have done something! They moved from Ireland to England +- 1828 and then on to America. My GGGran stayed in England and married my GGGrandad. Any advice would be appreciated. All my research so far has been on the pc and this is going to be my first 'field trip'.
