I am a U.S. citizen and visiting Ireland this summer. Does anyone knows of a St. named knockalocka in Kerry ? |
Travel Info My grandmother was born in Kerry on 2/21883. She came to America, N.Y. when she was fourteen. I know that she married my grandfather also from Ireland named Patrick (Frank) O'Meara in America. Her name was Bessie Hickey and her fathers name was Frank Hickey. I am going a little crazy here with trying to find out when they were married (year) I have their birth dates only because I have searched and found their death certificates. Anyone from Ireland that is at all familiar with the name of her street or either of their last names would be a tremendous help to narrowing my search and perhaps visit where she was born when I come. I will be in Ireland this summer from June 18 to 28th. Thank you for you time and your interest. Travel Tips That's going to be a tough one to crack. Do you know where in Kerry she was born. Contrary to what a lot of Americans believe, Ireland is not quite so small that we all know each other ;0P I know that they published some Irish census results on the internet in the last few years so you might be able to get a head start there. I've just found out that a road named Knockalocka is in the Listowel electoral area of Kerry (Road No. L6068-1000metres long). I hope that this is of some help. Try starting here..... http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlker/records.... I wish you lots of luck and hope you have fun when you get here. Others Hi This is a road in the Listowel electoral area. Try the link below, it has detailed information on tracing your ancestors in Kerry. Good luck www.ireland.com/ancestor/brows... There is a place called Knockalougha (pronounced Knockalocka)near Listowel in Kerry Latitude (DMS): 52掳 21' 36 N Longitude (DMS): 9掳 22' 46 W (Degrees, minutes and seconds) yes sure do good luck |
