I’ve never had any luck tracing my Irish great grandmother.
She was born in Courtmacsherry, Cork in 1853 and appears on the 1871 Census here as a 17 year old servant.
DH and I went to Courtmacsherry a few years ago hoping that the parish Priest could give us further information. Sadly he was away on a retreat and no one else was willing to help us. I think they must get fed up of all the people with Irish ancestry knocking on the door.
Courtmacsherry is a lovely place, she must have been very sad to leave.
