I just came across this post and a similar one on the Celtic Connections website today
(which gives more info on your Cahill ancestors) - My mother is Cahill from Annaghdown and
I'm trying to trace back my own family history. I was in the parochial house in
Corrandulla (Annaghdown) earlier this week as I live close by and I have some digital
images of baptismal and marriage records that may help give more details on the James
Cahill and Ellen Ford you mention.
1) James Ford and Mary Cahill christened a daughter Eleanor on 22nd April 1838. I believe
this is the same Ellen you mention.
2) They also christened a daughter Mary on 13th August 1835.
3) They also christened a son Michael on 8th Sept 1839.
4) They may also have christened a daughter Cicily on 10th Dec 1841 - The record did not
give Mary's surname.
5) The records started in 1834, so there may have been other children prior to 1834.
6) I can't see any record for the christening of a James Cahill born to Thomas Cahill
and Bridget Feeney - but there's a good chance he was born before 1834 - before
records started in the parish.
7) James Cahill and Ellen Ford christened a son James (not Thomas) on 10th Feb 1861. There
are no other records of any of their children christened at Annaghdown.
8) I can't find a marriage record for James Cahill and Ellen Ford - but the marriage
records are (badly) hand written and difficult to read.
I hope this helps.
