Thread: Corboy Family

Looking for information on the family of Darby Corboy, born 1766 married Mary Heranton.

Dear Jack Dempsey

What information are you looking for? He was my great great great grandfather. He is buried in Cloghprior cemetery Co Tipperary along with many of my Corboy family relatives. I have developed a comprehensive family tree going back as far Darby's father John Corboy born 1720 died 1790. Regards Diarmaid (Darby) Corboy

Sorry I have not checked here in a while and missed your post. He is also my grand father with many greats throw in. I was looking for stories, photos, anything that would give the Corboy family a little something more than facts. Is your tree posted on the web. I could give your a link to mine on Ancestry.com, if U like.

Dear Jack

I've justed posted my tree on Ancestry.com.

I have been working on finalising this online tree in preparation for a visit from some American cousins who are visiting me this month John and Sally Corboy who are the children of Philip Corboy late of Hawaii who together with my late father Martin Corboy did a lot of the early research in the days before the internet on the Corboys of North Tipperary. I will be bringing John and Sally to Tipperary to visit the grave of Darby I Corboy and Mary Heranton and that of my own father in Cloghprior cemetrey. I see from your tree on the net that you are descended from the Corboy's from Warrington who are descended from Darby 1's son William. A grandson of Peter Corboy visited my late father on a number of occasions researching his family history.

I have used my father's research to build my tree and if there is some specific information you need let me know by contacting my on my email docorrbui@eircom.net and I will try and help if I can. Regards Diarmaid (Darby) Ó Corrbui Corboy
