Find Ancestors

Looking for any help with the Cunningham/Kelly family in Carrick on Suir. My mother is Mary (the doll) Cunningham, my grandmother was Catherine Cunningham (born The Level in Carrick) my great grandfather was Joseph Cunningham (a twin born in 1874) who married Catherine (Kate) Fahey in Carrick. My great-grandfather was John Cunningham married to Margaret Glynn.

I plan to be in Carrick in August and would like to continue my 5-year research. I don't get there much as I live in Spain and any help would be much appreciated on this site.
Thanks
Paul

What else do you know about them, Paul? And what do you want to know about them? Any details may help us to trace the right family, and also avoid spending time on research which you may already have done.

You've mentioned two great-grandfathers named Cunningham - did you mean one of them was your great-great-grandfather?
[EDIT: Yes you did - per birth record below.]

This is great! Thanks very much for such a rapid repsonse. I have a some of the infromation but the news of Edmond and Jeremiah is new to me and may connect several dots.
I would really like to know more about John Cunningham and Margaret Glynn as I seem to have reached a brick wall there. Plus anyhting further about Joseph Cunningham who was my great-grandfather (b. 28.2.1874) and my grnadmother - Catherine Cunningham (his daughter born 1922 and died in 1958 in Arkane hospital of TB) as well as my (supposed) grandfather Seamus Sulilvan who worked at the tannery in Carrick and became Senior Director of Sales of Irish Leathers in Dungarvan.

Thanks again :)

Paul ...It my be an idea for you to list roughly what you already have found to save duplicating any searches.....eg .Seamus Sullivan...what side of the family does he come from and was he a Waterford or Tipperary man....?

Possible death of Jeremiah.....

I was going to pm the image Eringobragh found but it is only available to Worldwide FMP and I only have GB

Jude

Shouldn't make too much of a difference given there was only 1 John (1901 Census) aged 70 at the time....and given John (in jail) was 77 at the time I am guessing its him....Don't know if the actual image would give anything else....???


Need Paul to come back and sort some of this out as I don't know what he wants or what he already has...

This is very all very useful as it helps to confirm previous things that are still in the air. Plus I didn't know about the Cunningham in prison.

I'll send a link ASAP to a pdf document with what I have so far which may be of some help.
Thanks again :)

Here is a link to a Word doc with the information I have to date.
