LETTER: Looking for family details
Related Articles
Wednesday September 01 2010
Sir, I recently discovered in my father's attic an old photograph album, which was owned by Mrs. Annie Coffey, New Street, Killarney.
Annie would have been my great grandmother, her husband was Timothy Coffey also from Killarney. Her father was Thomas Murphy, a boatman, also from Killarney. Annie married Timothy Coffey circa 1878. Most of the photographs were taken in Boston, USA circa 1877, a small few in London in which one had written "my sister". With a guess I would say they were mostly from the Murphy side of the family.
If there is anyone in the Killarney area who could shed some light on these findings my contact details are below. Sincerely, Joe Aherne, Glenseskin, Kilworth, Co. Cork.
