Hi Pembrokes/Cahill's/McDermott's
Information on the Pembrokes from Kilkenny
I have recently been doing some Pembroke research and came accross your posts on Pembroke Family Genealogy. My name is Tony Pembroke and I live in Limerick but I am originally from Kilkenny and am related to you. Most of what I am relating came from my father Joseph and his sister Elizabeth (Birdie). The dynasty I have traced to William Pembroke b~1838 in Kilkenny he married Elizabeth Croke and they lived in the Johnswell area of Kilkenny. They had a number of sons
1) Patrick Pembroke (b 1861 d 1936 my grandfather)m Mary Delaney d1918 and then married Stacia Denn d1959 Patrick had 5 brothers
2)Thomas Pembroke ????(emigrated to US???)have no information on him. His off spring may own a dairy business in Ohio?? Nothing known much about him
3)Nicholas Pembroke emigrated to US Long Island so may beRichard Father? Nicholas's daughter Mary married John McGrath and there were two children Maura and John McGrath living in danesfort Kilkenny I know Maura and she has several children living in Danesfort Co Kilkenny.
4)Billy Pembroke (Emigrated to South Africa died there in early 1890's) had a daughter Ita who my grandfather Patrick brought back to Ireland. She emigrated to the US and married a Charles Miller in Philadelphia but had no children she died I believe in the 1980's
5) Leonard Pembroke ??? Dont know anything about him
6) John Pembroke married Mary Durney and they had several children a)Billy (married Cis Holland) no children and left a lot of property in Kilkenny including a pub to her nephew. b) Jakie (John) never married. c) Nicholas (never married) d) Toddy Pembroke m Kitty Quinlan one daughter Eva Pembroke (mother and daughter living in Kilkenny in Loughboy e) Paddy Pembroke m Alice Murphy 4 Children a)Eugene maried and a farmer and property developer Granges Road Kilkenny, he has a number of childrenb)Josephine, c) Marie d) Philomena.The girls are married and living in Dublin and Cork I think.
My grandfather Patrick had several children
a) Billy b1909 (Has a son Billy living in the south of England)
b) Elizabeth (Birdie) b1911 (Married Billy Power) and has several Powers living in Waterford and Dublin
c) Joseph (my father) b 1914 d 1981 m Annie Martin 1994 two children Tony (me ) and Colette
I am married to Bernadette Mullins 1984 three children Gareth b1989 currently at UL Laura b 1992 ans Emma b1995 All Pembrokes living in Limerick.
Colette my sister m William Grace has 3 children also John b1987b 1991 and Jennifer b 1994
d)Maura m John Hancock b 1916 d 2003 two children Billyand Paddy living in Ashford
e) Patrick b 1913 m Mona McDonald sons Paddy b1948 (died in Katmandu late 1994) Ray (who has some posts on this site) and Niall b1956 Ray lives in Kilkenny and has several sons all named Pembroke Niall is married and living in London.
I have come accross another Pembroke lineage in CastleIsland Co Kerry also but cannot find any relationship.
So it seems that Richard you are a long lost cousin (My Grandfathers nephew!) and Nicholas may also provide the link to Ellen. A number of Williams sonsThomas and possibly Leonard may also have emigrated, Thomas possibly to the US and Leonard possibly to Austrailia although my father or aunt had no practical evidence of this.
Anyway hope some of this helps and I would be particularly grateful if anyone can go back further than William or trace Thomas or Leonard.
