I can search parish registers, newspapers (1700's to present day) tithe records (with images) graveyard inscriptions, trade directories and much more.
I can cover Co. Cork more quickly than other counties with the only exception of Co Louth in regards to parish records.

Monsignor John Stokes updated.
Over the last few weeks I have been working on the family history of Monsignor John Francis Stokes 1896-1967.
John Francis Stokes was born on the 12th April 1896 Failsworth, Lancahire. John was one of 10 children with 5 being born in Liverpool and the other 5 in the Manchester/Oldham area.
John's parents were from Co Louth and his mother was a sister to my great grandmother.I have his mother's family back to the 1700's and I also have records on his father's side too.
Msgr. Stokes was very well known cleric who did huge work in Dundalk and Drogheda, Co Louth. He was particularly well known for managing to get schools built in the town as well as many other projects.
My research has managed to find a full page report on his funeral where my grandmother and other relations are recorded as attending, photographs, records from England, records from Co. Louth and even a film clip from Pathé on Cardinal Cushing's (of Boston) visit to Drogheda. (Note the commentator's terrible pronunciation of Drogheda.)
Msgr. John Francis Stokes is to the right (as you see it) of Cardinal Cushing.

Irish court case. Co Louth
Someone pointed out to me a possible connection of a family from Co Louth that were involved in a court case in 1861.
When I get my teeth into something I do not let go easily though having been up until 4 a.m. this morning I am beginning to regret operating like that.
I eventually found the newspaper article that relates to a petitioner asking for the 5 children of his recently deceased brother to be made wards of the court. The deceased man in question is my Gx2 grandfather (died 1861) and it was his brother who was the petitioner.
The brother wanted the children of the court to be made wards of court as he told the court in the first hearing my gx2 was planning on marrying (she was 31 with 5 children) which she denied. The petitioner claimed my Gx2 had 3 farms in the North of Ireland as well as being a grocer and had total assets of around £1,800.
My Gx2 grandmother denied this and put a likely figure of around £1,000 stating the farm interests were in shares.
My Gx2 grandmother did remarry just before the second hearing and her counsel stated the petition was to cause annoyaance more than anything else. The Judge threw out the case and awarded costs to my Gx2. (I've cut this down significantly)
After finding this I went through parish records and discovered she had 3 more children (I gave up looking at 4 a.m.) and then discovered she died in 1875 aged 45.
This is about the 6th article from the newspapers I have discovered on my line and it proves when you think you have all bases covered there's always something around the corner.
Adding stories to names and dates is very satisfying.

Co Cork Newspapers
One source of information that can be so valuable are the newspapers that cover Co. Cork and City.
I can search these newspapers from the 1700's. If you have an interesting story relating to your ancestors there is a good chance it was covered in the local press.
In most cases I would be able to obtain a photocopy of the article/newspaper.
Please e mail me if you are interested.
