Re: Purdy Family, Clones

JohnCaughey10 — 2009-11-15 12:14:02Z

Thanks. Yes, they are related to me. I think they lived on the Newtownbutler Road, and Monaghan Road, Clones.

They went to live in Manchester, England.

I think Rosaleen married a tailor who died and is buried in Co. Cavan. She was a music teacher.

John MONAGHAN b c 1811 married Ann ATKINSON in Rainford, England around 1832

Siralli — 2009-11-10 20:53:12Z

Hi All,
I am trying to trace the birthplace of my gf3. All that I have is that John MONAGHAN was b Ireland c 1811. I have John (returns spelt MONAGAN)- shown on the 1841 English census,living with his wife and family in Prescot, St Helens, Lancashire. I also have all of the family thereafter, the breakdown is the lack of information about John pre 1841. I think I have a record of his marriage to Ann ATKINSON in Rainford - 1832, but from there on, I am stuck!
Should anyone recognise any of the details listed, or have any have any possible links to John, I would appreciate you getting in touch! Even advice on possible further sources of information would be most welcome!

Regards to all

Siralli

Re: Townland Index for Co. Monaghan - checked for you by E-mail - Just ask

jackstorey1 — 2009-11-07 12:01:23Z

The main problem which Researchers have is due to the Townlands being translated into English. The purpose of this posting is to alert Researchers to the list of equivalent Townland names (which I have) in English which correspond to the older Irish language version. Irish language speakers can recognise a townland by its name since each name is really a description (in Irish) of that Townland. My father had a rule - Never buy a farm entitled Drum...... it will be hilly, whereas one entitled Clon..... will be flat land

Clontoe was right beside my home - I know it well - last owner was Tommy Knox - he was a really nice man - I have copied a lot of Church Records too of local Churches - my e-mail is jack.storey@btconnect.com if you wish to contact me directly

Re: Townland Index for Co. Monaghan - checked for you by E-mail - Just ask

hallmark1194 — 2009-11-06 23:03:21Z

You are most probably looking at Tedavnet/Tydavnet for those Wrights, my Wrights attended there too.

John Wright of Clontoe was the Chief Constable there in 1850's and attended Tedavnet Church.

John Charles Wright owned about 250 acres of land in Clontoe.

Good luck with the Wrights, there's no shortage of them!

GothicMaiden — 2009-11-06 22:28:48Z

You would appear to have a lot of information at your fingertips so I am hoping that you can help me with the birthplace of my husband's grandfather. There are an awful lot of 'Thomas Wright's in the family but the one in question was born on 23 April 1887 in "Clintoe Monaghan". I have a photo of a certified copy of the original birth certificate dated 27 July 1946.
Birthplace and Dwelling-place of Father are both listed as "Clintoe Monaghan" whereas "Residence of informant" is given as "Clinto Monaghan".
I can find no mention anywhere of a Clinto/e so it's over to you.
Yours with fingers crossed,
Heather

County Monaghan Ancestors

Bradyetc — 2009-10-25 22:16:48Z

Patrick McGaughey married Agnes (or Rose) Vallaly and emigrated from County Monaghan to P.E.I. Canada with children Michael, James, John and Annie in about the 1850s. He apparently left another 3 children in Ireland. Patrick McNally born about 1817 emigrated from the same place also to P.E.I. probably 20 years earlier. I descend from Michael McGaughey and am in contact with McNally cousins who descend from Michael's sister Annie McGaughey. Would appreciate contacts with any McGaughey or McNally descendants in Ireland.

Re: McShane's of Cornabrandy , Clontibret

michaelmcshane47 — 2009-10-05 16:35:03Z

Hi, My great grandfather, James McShane born June 1875, emigrated to the US and married Kate Fitzsimons of Killinkere in 1898. They had a son, James McShane (born 1899), who returned to Ireland with his widowed mother in 1906. Kate McShane nee Fitzsimons then married John Gillick of Killinkere in 1907 abt. I'm trying to establish if the James McShane born in Dromore on 25th June 1875, whose father was Terence McShane of Cornabrandy and mother was Catherine Boylan of Dromore, is the guy who emigrated to the states circa 1893. This would complete the circle as I have no definitive link back to Ireland other than his date of birth, no townland but it looks like there is a relationship between the McShanes of Cornabrandy and the folks in Killinkere. Hope this is it. Regards
Michael McShane, Dublin.
