My husbands Gr. Grandparents Cornelius and Mary (Hartney) Mulcahy came to the USA in about the middle 1860"s.  They had immigrated to London about in the 1850's.  Then they went by ship to New York, from there to Chicago and then Wisconsin.  Where he bought a small section of land and farmed.  His brother John and wife Catherine (Hartney) traveled with them..  And also bought land in Wisconsin and farmed there.  And also bought land in Minnesota and farmed.  Cornelius settled by Janesville and John settled by Waseca.  They were less then 10 miles apart.  Cornelius was born in 1824 in Limerck county and John was born in 1826 in Limerck County.  They married sisters.  Mary Hartney was born in 1825 in Limerck County or maybe Cork County, not sure.  Catherine Hartney was born in 1828 in Limerck county.  Their parents were Patrick and Mary (White) Hartney.  The Mulcahy brothers parents were James and Mary (Maloney) Mulcahy.  We would like to find information, certificates, obits or anything on the Mulcahy family.  We would like to know if any of these had sisters and brothers.  So if anyone has information let me know.  Thanks in advance.
Carol

Hi Carol,
 
You will find  the 1870 census , Alton, Minnesota... attached to this message.
 
It appears the family left England after 1864 since the youngest child Cornelius was born abt. 1863/64, depending  if his birthday was after the month of the census.. July 1870.
 Therefore, the Cornelius that was found arriving on the "Galena" 3 Aug 1854 isn't part of your family.
 
the family is #26..
Mulcahy Cornelius..45_ laborer_ Ireland
                Mary      40_keeping house. Ireland_ can't read nor write
                 John       16-at home_         England
                 Patrick    10_ at school_      England
                 Cornelius   6_ at school_      England
 
I'll try to locate the ship manifest for the Mulcahy family.
 
Later,
Jelora

Hi Jelora,
Thanks for looking this up for me.  Oh my, such confusion.  Well Cornelius Jr. the youngest son was born March 6, 1863 according to what I have.  Some of the family said he might of been born on the ship.  But who knows.  Or was he born in London?  I have a Citzenship paper that Cornelius Sr. took oath on Nov. 1866.  And it says he arrived at the Port of New York on July 1963.  We have been confused cause it looked like him and his brother John bought land in Wisconsin in 1858.   Well maybe Cornelius didn't buy land in Wis. in 1858 then.  Maybe it was another Cornelius. But John had land there.  Did you run across John & Catherine Mulcahy's census?  I think they came to Minnesota close to the same time as Cornelius did.  But maybe a little later like 1865-70.  As John & Catherine had a son born in 1870 here in Waseca County.
Hope you can find more information on this family.
Carol

Hi Carol,

All of the Mulcahy family travelled together. I have copied the ship manifest and will send it to your e-mail address.

My husbands Great grandfather born in abt. 1823-1824 was possibly born in Parish of Racahill Ireland.  Does anyone know anything about Racahill?  Did this town disappear off the Map?  And what happened to the Parish?  Did any other Parish take it over?  Would like to know some information on it.
Thanks,
Carol

Hi Carol
 
I am wondering if the place you mention is in fact RATHCAHILL?  There was a Rathcahill in King's County, and also one in Co. Limerick.  The TH would not normally be sounded, so when spoken it would actually sound like Racahill.
 
Hoping that we can help you.
 
Best wishes
 
Maz

Hi Maz and Carol,
 
I've found obituary listings of Irish families living in Chicago in a book on-line at Ancestry.com..
The following seems like the closest to the  parish that was listed in the 1861 Census where Cornelius Mulcahy was living at that time in England
 
Obituray:
Mulcahy, Patrick, brother of Mrs. James Long, native of Rathkeale, Co.
Limerick. Funeral from his sister's resid., Lake st. and 41st to St. Philip
s Church to Calvary -April 13, 1894 (1)
 
The Census reading is very difficult to read.. so the above  Rathkeale may be a truer spelling of the parish

Hi  Jelora & Maz,
This is the Cornelius Mulcahy that is on the 1861 Census that was born in Parish of Racahill.   Maybe the wrong one.  Not sure!
And on the 1851 Census it doesn't say where Cornelius was born!!
 
Carlow - Dublin - Longford - Kildare - Kilkenny - Laois (Queen's County, Leix, ... Patrick's well Portrenard Racahill Rathkeale Shanagolden
 
This is on the internet.
 
But it doesn't say anything about it there.  It just lists the name of the town on there.
 
So did it disappear and Rathkeale has taken it over???  So did the information from one Parish  go to the other?  Thats the question.  Or did all the records get destroyed???
 
More stumbling blocks!!!
 
Thanks,
Carol

Hi Carol
 
No, I think Rathkeale is a different town.  It is in the same area, but does not appear to be the same place as Rathcahill. 
 
Rathcahill / Racahill is a townland in Co. Limerick.  There is a West Rathcahill and an East Rathcahill.
 
Hope this is of some help.

I'm looking for any information on James Mulcahy that married Mary Maloney.  They had two sons Cornelius and John Mulcahy.  Cornelius was born in 1824 and John in 1826.  Both John and Cornelius immigrated to the USA after they got married.  We think there were two other children...Mary and Michael but aren't sure where they went.  They lived in the Limerck County Area.  Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,
Carol
