Jimbo,

Thank you for providing the newspaper article. I would also like to thank Sheila for allowing the space to post it.

Without your help I never would have gotten this far in my research. I am forever greatful for your help and experience with genealogy.

I finally have an answer for my ...

Jimbo,

Nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well.

I actually got in contact with another cousin, from the Gorman side of my family and have been researching that lately.

I will have to find that obituary you mentioned. I will probably get more info, like you said.

My cousin just today ...

Jimbo,

Whew...my head is spinning. I see you have been busy and I so appreciate all the research you have done.

I never considered that Jeremiah had other siblings, other the the two that were mentioned. Just about all of Matthew's children came to America, including my grandfather, Michael. One ...

Sharon,

It the first article I downloaded, it mentions a Maurice Leniham. He was a Limerick historian. He mentions a Rev. Dr. Charles Tuohy, native of Limerick in his book Limerick: Its History and Antiquities. Charles is mentioned on page 431, 634-637.

I am also downloading an obituary notice ...

Sharon,

Thank you for all the information you provided.

I believe that is the obituary of my 2x great grandfather, Jeremiah. I have his death dateas the 18th of July but I am sure it is the same person. His son Matthew, took over the school for him when Jeremiah became ill. The second article I ...

Sheila,

I am glad you enjoyed the excerpts from the book. Honestly I did not even think of ordering the records, that is a great idea.

I will definitely look under Scariff records to find out more information.

I really can't thank you enough for all of your help. I really do appreciate it.

This is another page from the same book that mentions his son, Matthew.

I am going to try to upload the articles I have now. I hope it works this time.

Sheila,

I saw that also. I do not recall a Daniel in the family, so I was a bit confused. I am not sure if Jeremiah's father was also a teacher, or his name. I really appreciate all of your help.

Sheila,

Thank you for your reply. It is so hard to read the original documents, especially not knowing the history. I am thankful that you can.

Hello Jimbo,

Thank you for the information you provided. I have a photocopy of a book ( I am not sure of the name or author of the book). It says Jeremiah marries a Catherine Frost around 1845. When I did a search for them, I could only find a son Patrick. As far as I know Jeremiah only had a son ...

That is just sad to think about. Thank you Kerry for your help. I will have to keep digging to find out what his wife's name was.

I was lucky to find the headstone for my great great grandfather. His name was Jeremiah "Darby" Tuohy but unfortunately his wife is not listed. The following is the transcription which I found on the Clare Library website.

Tuohy Headstone, St Flannan's Cathedral Graveyard, Killaloe. The ...
