Hello,
I am in the process of doing my family history in hopes of connecting with relatives in Ireland. My great grandfather Cornelius D. Cahill was born in Umeraboy, Cullen Parish in 1864. He moved with his family to Glenamucklagh West (between Newmarket and Rockchapel) around 1870, but emigrated to the USA around 1887. He had 9 brothers and sisters, of whom seven emigrated to the USA.
Two family member we know of stayed in Ireland and we are focusing on these to see if anyone knows/remembers them:
- My great granduncle Patrick Cahill who stayed at home. He married Annie Pigott, a neighbour, and they had one child Daniel, who also emigrated, but was present at home at he deaths of his parents in 1948 and 1961. The Pigotts and Cahills seems closely linked and the families were living together in 1911.
- My great grand aunt Ellen who married a McCarthy and was still alive in 1945, but we have no trace of her.
1961 isn’t that long ago, and we would be grateful if anyone remembers the Daniel or his parents Patrick & Annie of Glenamucklagh, or if anyone knew of Ellen McCarthy that we can’t find.
Thanks,
Donald Cahill, Baldwinsville, New York, USA <email>

PATRICK CAHILL
- Born on 15th Nov 1869 – Father was a labourer
- Baptism ?

- Pigott Benjamin 27 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic
- Cahill Annie 46 Female Aunt Roman Catholic 9 yrs married 1 child
- Cahill Daniel 8 Male Cousin Roman Catholic
- So where was Patrick Cahill in the 1911 census? I can’t find him. Did he move elsewhere for work, or emigrate? or did the family fall apart? (families rarely fell apart back then)
- Patrick’s son Daniel left for the US on 16 July 1922, on the SS Celtic. He is a farm labourer. Interestingly his mother Annie travelled with him. why
- Daniel Patrick Cahill naturalised in the US on 04 Jan 1926. born 30th Oct 1902. occupation: carpenter, height 5’6″, 140lbs. black hair, grey eyes. now resides at 327 Washington St, Somerville, Mass. Emigrated on the SS Celtic. not married.

- Death of Annie Cahill, Glenamuckla, 24th Dec 1961, aged 95, Daniel Cahill, son present at death
Notes:
- No sign of Daniel marrying, but he was present at his mother’s death in 1961. From the current data, it’s impossible to know if he returned at some stage full time to the farm, or if he returned periodically when his parents were ill.
- Patrick’s wife Annie Pigott may be important when inquiring locally. Patrick and Annie were neighbours, so the families would have known each other well. There are still Pigotts in the Newmarket / Rockchapel areas.

… through an amber light is guilty of disobeying a traffic control signal, the same as a motorist passing a red light.”
City Electrician Jeremiah Cahill said the job required 400 feet of conduit and five new steel poles in the square. Walk lights have been installed and will be in operation shortly. When the walk lights become operational, additional traffic control lights will be used. Chief Duggan said motorists should be very careful in the area until they become familiar with all the new lights and their patterns. Mr. Cahill said the walk lights will give pedestrians the right of way in the crosswalks and when a pedestrian gets part of the way across the street and the walk light changes, he has the right to finish crossing to the other side. The pedestrian must not step off the curb until the walk light signals the pedestrian to cross. – 1 June 1960

Lewis Ned Cahill
Birth: May 5, 1929, Glens Falls
Death: Aug. 11, 2013, Blairsville, Union County,Georgia
Lewis Ned Cahill, 84, of Blairsville died peacefully at home August 11, 2013, surrounded by his family. Ned was born on May 5, 1929 in Glens Falls, NY, the elder son of the late Jerry and Ethel Cahill. After graduating from Colgate University, he attended Albany Medical College, receiving the MD degree in 1955.
He served for nine years as a physician in the US Navy, at Naval hospitals in Chelsea, MA; Camp Lejeune, NC; and Bethesda, MD. In 1961, while he was stationed at Camp Lejeune, he was transferred to the Bethesda Naval Hospital to serve as physician for the families of the newly elected President John F. Kennedy and Vice-President Lyndon Johnson at Camp David. He retired from the Navy in 1964 as a Lieutenant Commander, and began a 36-year private practice in internal medicine in Bethesda, MD.
In 2000, Ned and his wife, retired from MD to Blairsville, GA to join family and enjoy mountain living. He came out of retirement for a time, working as a physician in Blairsville, but decided retirement was too much fun to pass up. An avid bridge player since college, he played regularly with the Appalachian Bridge Club until illness forced him to give it up. He enjoyed classical music, was an active member and former vestryman at St. Clare’s Episcopal Church, and was a frequent student in a variety of ICL courses at Young Harris College. Most of all he enjoyed reading. It was often said that he never met a book he didn’t like.
Ned is survived by his devoted wife of 43 years, Ann, two sons and three step children: Ned, Jr. and his wife Beverly, of North Potomac, MD; Michael H. Cahill and his partner Chris Leptak, of Washington, DC; Lea Gaslowitz and her husband Adam, of Atlanta; Sue Bolander and her husband Tom, of West River, MD; and David Marsh and his wife Melissa, of Purcellville, VA. He had nine grandchildren: Aryn and Zach Gaslowitz; Christine, Abbey, and Matthew Bolander; Sam Cahill; and Lexi, Jackson, and Indra Marsh. He also leaves nieces and nephews, a sister-in-law, Deborah Burford, of Blairsville, and many loved friends. His only brother, Donald F. Cahill, predeceased him.
An August 17th memorial service at St. Clare’s Episcopal Church was followed by interment of ashes in St. Clare’s Memorial Garden, Rev. Frank F. Wilson officiating. Music was provided by organist and choirmaster Vince Evans.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a memorial donation to Doctors Without Borders, Regency Hospice, or St. Clare’s.

Hello Donald,
We are intrigued by your posting. We are researching the McCarthy family in this area and we have some McCarthy/Cahill/Mahoney folks there.

Thank You
Hi
I have also tried to contact Donald Cahill via the email link but have had no reply to date. My father in law is John Christopher Cahill (Jack). His father was Daniel Francis Cahill. Thus making his grandfather Patrick Cahill and great grand uncle Cornelius Cahill. He is keen to contact any family as he may help with information as well as seeking information for himself.
Mr Tonino Rossi (son in law)
Thanks
Hello Tonino,
I just sent you a reply. Please let me know if/when you receive it. I’m very eager to be in contact with you. Thanks.

SMALL WORLD GEORGE!! – Donald it’s a chance to kill 2 birds with one stone as Diane and I are related via McCarthy’s but don’t know where the link is! and I’ve just come across this site right now! My G.M was Sarah McCarthy and her brother was Jeremiah. Her father Jeremiah (1878-1906) m Ellen Ryan but died quite young and apparently they shouldered him all the way from Banteer to Kilcorney!!. Her father was Michael (10-3-1830) who married Sally Cremin (11-12-1840) and I have it that the generation before was also Michael m Margaret O Connell. Jermiah had siblings (I believe a Kathleem, maybe more who went to US, but any help you can give me also Donald I’d much appreciate as unfortunately, my Father, John Pat Kelleher ‘the Joiners’ from Kilcorney could have provided much of this information but is sadly gone.
Many Thanks,
Liz
As I may never find this site/post again can you please use <email> for replies

Hello again,
I don’t see my original message, so I’m writing a new one Tonino. I believe your father-in-law could possibly be the same Jackie Cahill from Coventry that a Cork historian, Patrick Buckley, had told me about in 2017. Patrick had met Jackie and his wife Rita and sons Donald and Eric when they were visiting Cork. They were supposed to contact me, but I never heard from them for some reason. I will be in Kinsale, Cork for seven days this August and would love to meet any of the Cahill’s that are around. Patrick had mentioned that there are still some Cahill relatives in Newmarket, Cork and possibly in some of the other local towns as well. I am in Central New York and would love to connect and share family information. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Hi Diane
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, sadly I could not find any close links to the Millstreet area.

McCarthy John 28 Male Lodger Roman Catholic
McCarthy Hanna 25 Female Lodger Roman Catholic
McCarthy Thomas 4 Male Lodger Roman Catholic
McCarthy Hanna 3 Female Lodger Roman Catholic
McCarthy Daniel Male Lodger Roman Catholic
From what I can see John was born in Mountcollins on the Limerick/Kerry border about 40km from us https://www.townlands.ie/limerick/mountcollins/ and Hannah Murphy was born in Limerick according to the 1911 Census. Thomas and Daniel their children were born in Kanturk/Newmarket births registered in Kanturk, Hannah was born in Churchtown, registered in Mallow and according to the Census they were now living in Broad Street, Charleville in 1911.
They did go on to have other children Michael was registered in Kilmallock, address The Glen in 1912, and it looks like they remained in Charleville area.
Sorry I couldn’t get any more info for you.

Donald,
My father was doing a lot of research into the family tree. Let me see what Ann has and if that would help.
