I also have Irish Mackin's. They lived in Schenectady Co, NY then moved to IA. Kyron Mackin was born in 1814 in King's (Offaly) County. Also found the last name under McKin and McKinn.

hi, this is the majority of an email i received from someone. they want to know where in ireland james might have been born. i suggested cork so i am trying this to see if anyone knows anything about these people john tyner from wicklow Born in 1816. His name is James Christopher Tyner and he was married to Margaret Webb born in 1820. Their first born, Richard Evans Webb Tyner, was born in Canada in 1841 so I'm not sure if they were married in Ireland or Canada. Evans sounds like it was likely a last name as well, maybe his mothers last name. I know there are a lot of Tyner's in the State's but seems to be a rare name in canada. ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

John, I had done some research a while back before my computer died and hopefully went to heaven, and had found a Tyner family in 1851 Lennox County Ontario Canada, which hailed from as I recall, Cork, Ireland. This family then appeared to migrate to upstate New York around the turn of the century. Looking at one on line tree, I see a George Tyner born in Tomleague Cork Ireland in 1780 living in Ontario with his wife Susan Ashe and son John b 1830 with his family. Their religion was listed on the 1851 Canada census as Church of England. As I recall some splinters of this family may have also gone to Nebraska.

Need any info on the Mackin family in Ireland in the 1800's. My G. Granmother's maiden name was Delia Mackin, born in Brooklyn ( died 1919) and married to a John Monahan in Brooklyn. ( No dates) Cork count has been mentioned in my family. Mark

There are Monahans in Australia and I think they were from Cork many years ago. There is a female member named Delia. May be worth a try but you would need to contact me on my email before giving you information. Where are you? I am in Townsville North Queensland.

Hello Pamela, I hope you don't mind me contacting you. I've been following the Skibbereen mail very closely as I have DONOVANs and HURLEYs whom I would like to track down in that area. Particularly Daniel DONOVAN who married Hanorah DESMOND in the 1820-40s whose daughter Hanorah DONOVAN married Edward HURLEY our great grandfather in Kinsale and raised a large family there. Edward HURLEY and his father, another Edward HURLEY, were both "seamen" and I imagine that the younger one met a Kinsale girl while visiting there during a port-of-call. Although there are HURLEYs in Kinsale, after my visit there where I found the graves of our great-greats alongside that of another local HURLEY family, they said that the two families were not kinfolk. This, plus the family "lore" with connections to Skibbereen, leads us to think that there must be a connection there. If you have any information, which local Skibbereen folk might help with, I would be most grateful to you. Good luck with your own searches; perhaps our two DONOVAN families might well be connected. Gratefully, Mary from Auckland, New Zealand.

Hi Charmaine, I am also looking for COUGHLAN from Cork as my great grandfather William came from that area. All we know is that on the 1891 England census he was born about 1854. He married Hannah McCabe on 25 December 1883 in London, and this shows that his father was also William, occupation most likely Sawyer (or possibly Lawyer) - deceased at time of wedding. William and Hannah had 5 children (that I know of) - Mary b 1885, Theresa b 1887, Elizabeth b 1889, Hannah b 1893 (my grandmother) and William Patrick b 1893. All born in City of London. I have a photo of Hannah and 2 of her sisters taken probably in the 1950's. Do any of these names ring a bell?

While doing your genealogy, don't forget to note the health problems in your family, as far back as you can go. Get the death certificates of any and all members of immediate family members as you can. This might help you in your own life as to diagnosis of any illness and hereditary diseases. Like many of you I started this project out of curiousity of my family heritage, When it suddenly dawned on me about their health, and the influence on my life and my children. And then one day wondered about the many men in family who became fire or police men, which is another interesting field. This health question came about because of my husbands heart disease, and I discovered his Father had died at age 47, and his grandfather died about 40 years old, all heart related. His Mother died of old age...at 86, just worn out. She had no known illness other than a cold now and then, in her life. Altho, he inherited his Fathers and grandfathers heart problems he lived to be 78, taking after his Mother side for longevity, most of her family lived into their 80's and 90's. Make sure to do the health history of both wife and husband for future generations and make a health chart for yourself and your Dr. A good site to get this info done and keep for your-self is familyhistory.hhs.gov You can keep on computer or just make it out for yourself.... good luck! Pass this info on to others you care about.

Thanks for this information. I just checked it out. This is an easy way to chart a persons health in relationship to other members of the family.

Here's their link: http://www.skibbheritage.com/ The volunteer that help us last summer was Margaret. She knew an elderly man in Skeagh and he knew of our family and where the house had been(has been torn down) Unfortunately, our people came from another area in Cork because there weren't any church records. However, she did find my gggrandpaents,Cornelius and Hanora Donovan, in the 1901 +1911 census. All their children had settled in Lawrence,MA. After 1911,Hanora Donovan went to live with her niece Julia Callahan O'Mahoney in Rosscarbary, Cork. This is what she said: August 25,2006 All I have to go on with your ancestry is what I have found in the 1901 and 1911 census records along with what you have told me about your relatives and what I was able to gather from speaking with Mr. Liam O'Donovan of Skeagh, Skibbereen Co. Cork. I have searched the parish records extensively to find the family based on the details you provided and also the local register office which houses the civil registration of Birth certificates from 1864 onwards. there is no trace of your ancestry in the Skibbereen district prior to the 1901 census records. If they were not registered in the civil registry which is some time the case. they were definite baptized and are entered in a registry some where.... But this does not seem to be Skibbereen. Cornelius and hanorah O'Donovan may have moved after all there children emigrated... You Can contact the local Priest at the neighboring parishes to Skibbereen that of Aghadown ... Fr Donal Cahill, The presbytery, Lisheen/Aughadown Co.Cork. and Fr Michael O'Donovan The Presbytery, Dromore. CoCork. Just to be aware both these priests will respond to a written letter. provide them with the same information that you gave me on family names and dates of birth... remember Hanorah O'Donovan was O'Neill prior to her marriage to Cornelius.

Hello Listers, I am researching the Coghlans of Skibbereen. Last year I went to SKIBBEREEN where I visted the Heritage Centre. There I found the entry for my Great Grandparents DANIEL & ELLEN COGHLAN in the 1901 Census. He is listed as a Bootmaker aged 59, so born in 1844, the year before the Famine started. ELLEN is 44 making her born in 1857. The address is 25 Bridge Street, Skibbereen, which is 2 doors up from the Eldon Hotel where the great Michael Collins had his last meal before leaving on his fateful journey to Beal na Blath. There are nine children listed, RICHARD AGED 22,(a Schoolteacher), MARY AGED 17, MICHAEL AGED 16 (a 21 year old Michael Coughlan from Skibbereen is listed as landing at Ellis Island N.Y on June 27, 1906 on the ship Carmania - is this him, the age and location fit?), JAMES PATRICK AGED 14, ELLEN AGED 12, MARGARET AGED 10, HANNAH AGED 5, DAVID JOSEPH AGED 3, PATRICK JOSEPH AGED 10 DAYS. Also included is a brother of Daniels, ANDREW, a retired Postman aged 77. My Grandfather DANIEL is not listed as he was working in Clerkenwell, London as a letter sorter at the time of the Census. RICHARD is listed in GUYS Postal Directory for 1914 as living in the house on Bridge Street and also as President of the Skibbereen Gaelic Football and Hurling Clubs. His father, (my Great, Great Grandfather) was MICHAEL COGHLAN, a labourer (there is a Michael Coghlan living in the Coronea area of Skibbereen (which includes Bridge St)according to Griffiths 1848-1864 ). Ellens father was DENIS COLLINS, a farmer. DAVID 'TONE' JOSEPH COGHLAN (1898 - 1961) married RITA O'RIORDEN and owned the racehorse Mr What when it won the Grand National in 1958 and came 3rd in 1959, as well as Careys Cottage when it was 3rd in 1955. He went to America in 1916 but returned in 1938. 'His horse won the Grand National 'at ease' winning by thirty lengths, a record for the National. Another record was the winnings, which amounted to £13,744, the largest prize distributed so far as a first prize. Mr What was trained by Mr Taffe in Rathcoole. In Skibbereen town the bookies were disgorging for nearly a fortnight and bookies across Ireland that never in the history of their 'profession' did its members receive such a keelhauling. 'Tone' was the recipient of a gay reception in Skibbereen. A band met his family party at the outskirts of the town. There was a reception held at the West Cork Hotel. The visit was made an occasion for presenting him with a scroll, setting out his Fathers contribution to the National cause in days dark and evil.' What I would be fascinated to know is what my Great Grandfathers contribution was! & when were the houses on Bridge St built? Also if anyone has any more information or connections with this family. For anyone interested in the Coghlans/Coughlans or Skibbereen I have a webpage on Genealogy.com which has lots of info & links to relevent webpages etc which is well worth a vist as it has lists of Coghlan/Coughlana in Griffiths Valuation as well as Irish births between 1881 & 85 and Cork & Skibbereen Directories for 1846/56/75 & 1914 etc. <http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/o/g/Charmaine-Coghlan-Dorset/index.html> Sorry if this seems a very long post, but as it is my first I thought I'd give as much information as possible and hope it makes a connection with someone.

Here's their link: http://www.skibbheritage.com/ The volunteer that help us last summer was Margaret. She knew an elderly man in Skeagh and he knew of our family and where the house had been(has been torn down) Unfortunately, our people came from another area in Cork because there weren't any church records. However, she did find my gggrandpaents,Cornelius and Hanora Donovan, in the 1901 +1911 census. All their children had settled in Lawrence,MA. After 1911,Hanora Donovan went to live with her niece Julia Callahan O'Mahoney in Rosscarbary, Cork. This is what she said: August 25,2006 All I have to go on with your ancestry is what I have found in the 1901 and 1911 census records along with what you have told me about your relatives and what I was able to gather from speaking with Mr. Liam O'Donovan of Skeagh, Skibbereen Co. Cork. I have searched the parish records extensively to find the family based on the details you provided and also the local register office which houses the civil registration of Birth certificates from 1864 onwards. there is no trace of your ancestry in the Skibbereen district prior to the 1901 census records. If they were not registered in the civil registry which is some time the case. they were definite baptized and are entered in a registry some where.... But this does not seem to be Skibbereen. Cornelius and hanorah O'Donovan may have moved after all there children emigrated... You Can contact the local Priest at the neighboring parishes to Skibbereen that of Aghadown ... Fr Donal Cahill, The presbytery, Lisheen/Aughadown Co.Cork. and Fr Michael O'Donovan The Presbytery, Dromore. CoCork. Just to be aware both these priests will respond to a written letter. provide them with the same information that you gave me on family names and dates of birth... remember Hanorah O'Donovan was O'Neill prior to her marriage to Cornelius. Looking forward to hearing from you. Good luck.

Hi Mark It is worth remembering that Delia was very often an abbreviation for Bridget.

Thanks for that one Jill! will keep that in mind. Mark

Trying to get any leads on my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother. John Monahan married Deli Mackin (about 1890-1900--Brooklyn NY) My mother has told me that John was from County Cork Ireland. John and Delia had 3 sons-(John, James and Robert(my Grandfather) and a daughter named Maud. Not sure where Delia Mackin was from or where she was born. Thank You--Mark
