|

A response to Jim Hughes enquiry in the surname section
John Prior married Ann Fitzpatrick in Cloone on 18th Feb 1866 (year slightly uncertain as no year was given on the page of the parish record). James Prior and Patrick Tiernan were the sponsors
No parents were given so it would be worth getting a marriage cert from the GRO.
All the children were baptised from Ardloher, a subdivision of the townland of Halls. There were no Priors there in Griffith’s Valuation, which makes me think that John probably moved there on his marriage to Ann. There was at least one family of Fitzpatricks there at the time of the Valuation – John Fitzpatrick with a farm and 63 acres of land.
The baptism record only has one hard to read entry that might refer to this family but the townland, the surname and the wife’s surname are all difficult to read. It looks to me like John FITZPATRICK married to Margaret DEACONS at ARDLOHER had a daughter, Rose, baptised on 5th February 1936.
There were only 3 Prior farms in the parish in Griffith’s Valuation, two at Corroneary [Hugh and Michael] and one at Sunnagh More [James]. There is no clear evidence as to whether your John came from any of these but it may be relevant that his first (recorded) son was named Hugh

Catherine was baptised on 26th Dec 1878 (presumably at Ardloher although no townland was listed): Sponsors were Pat Prior & Helen (surname illegible)

Thanks for the additional information Jim. My records didn't have Patrick, but I have recently seen him listed in Mulhern tree so I think he must have died young, because my Uncle had no record of him. _________________ Jim Hughes |
