Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Maria... There are many Driscoll families around the areas you mention...Driscoll being one of the oldest surnames .... Castlehaven is a small village (also a parish in itself) near to Union Hall....which is in the Parish of Mycross... That being said..the family you note for house no.79 (1911 Census) is Mary McCarthy not Driscoll although there are Driscolls living in the same street. I have found 2 Jeremiah Driscoll's with wife Mary in the Unionhall area... Jeremiah Driscoll and Mary Hayes...Have not located their marriage so far. Jeremiah Driscoll (Son of Bart.Driscoll) and Mary Driscoll...they married in Skibbereen in 1864. Do you have any bros.sisters for your grandfather apart from Patrick..?

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Marie... Have found the Birth of Johanah McCarthy...parents Jeremiah McCarthy and Mary Driscoll..22 April 1865...Unionhall.... What was your g.fathers date of Birth..???
Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 25 Send Message	Maria	Report	27 Apr 2010 15:48
Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 25 Send Message	My grandfather Michael was born on 19/8/1895

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Marie.... The Jeremiah McCarthy and Mary Driscoll..(parents of Johanah 1865)..cannot be the same "couple" you are looking for... Michaels Birth date puts the age for Mary at the minimum about 55... The problem you may have is there were McCarthy's and O'Driscoll marriages and vice versa all over the area.... We need to have something else to narrow the search.. Was Michael Baptised in St.Barrahanes Church...? What do you know about Patrick ..? Did you notice the "Official signatory" on the Census at No 79 ....Jeremiah McCarthy (Constable)!!
