I have a Catherine Kane that married into the family. It appears that there was also an Episcopal Reverend named Kane who is all over the Rhode Island marriage records. Katherine was born in 1849 in Providence, RI. I don't think this is a match, but it's something to gnaw on.. Desiree

Are you related to the Mannings of Peoria, Illinois? The family was close to my McCarthy group of Peoria. There is a family story that one of my ancestors was supposed to marry a Manning, but met someone on the boat to New Orleans, and married him instead. I may have some census information, and some references to the Mannings in our records. Let me know if you are interested. Good luck. Jaonne

According to our family records, my great-grandfather, Thomas Morris was born in 1833 in County Galway. He was the son of Michael Morris and Mary Shaughnessy. The local records center in Galway found record of a Michael Morris, born 1843 and William Morris, born 1850 in Rathfee Townland, Lackagh Parish to a Michael Morris and Mary Shaughnessy. They also found an “Eleanor Morris” born 1858 in Tysaxon Townland, Athenry Parish, to a Michael Morris and Mary Shaughnessy. This “Eleanor Morris would probably not be a sibling of my Thomas Morris, since Thomas was born in 1833, and 1833 to 1858 spans 25 years. Unfortunately, records do not exist for earlier than 1842 for Lackagh Parish or earlier than 1852 for Athenry Parish. They did not see any record of the marriage of Michael Morris and Mary Shaughnessy in the Galway East records. If I have the right Michael and Mary, I would like to find the names, and birthdates and deathdates of Michael Morris and Mary Shaughnessy. I would also like to know if Michael Morris and William Morris (and Eleanor (?!?) )are really siblings of my great-grandfather Thomas. I am stalled. What should I do next? I really appreciate your help. Please answer me by E-mail “agricola@erol’s.com”

Laura: I accept your challenge !! Her is my Brick Wall(s). William James Parks, b. 1825 in County Donegal, immigrated to Maine via New York in 1850 aboard the bark America. He married Catherine Cunningham, d. of Bridget Breslin Cunningham and Hugh Cunningham, b. 1829 in Ireland (county unknown). No indication her parents came to US. No record of parents or siblings of William James or his townland in County Donegal. The only clues I have of his Donegal ancestry are: 1. Both he and Catherine were RCs - it was very rare for the Park/e/s surname in Ulster to be RC. 2. A first cousin, John, his wife Elizabeth (surname unknown), and children: William, Mary and Rachel, arrived in St. John, NB in 1847. The passenger list spells the surname as Park and indicates they were from Balleybofey, County Donegal. They were all RCs. The son, William, married a Sarah Stewart from a UEL family. 3. His aunt and uncle, Bridget (Mary) Kilday Parks and William Parks and 7 other children also settled in Portland, Maine. All burial records, etc. indicate the family was from County Donegal but no townland is listed in any records. Two daughters married into the Alexander family and one into the McNellis family. Alexander and McNellis family records indicate they also were from County Donegal but no townland listed. Both of these families were RC. 4. Note that all of the surnames are NOT of celtic origion, but rather lowland Scots or English. Parks appears to be of Norman ancestry. Bill Parks

Hi All, I'm trying to find out where in Co. Tyrone my great-great-great grandparents John P. McGOLDRICK and Mary McCANN came from. They immigrated to New Brunswick in 1847. A family Bible indicates a son Owen as having died 3 July 1845 in Co. Tyrone. I have checked every available source to locate where Owen could be buried or what town John and Mary McGOLDRICK came from. Does that mean I have to now give up genealogy FOREVER or should I just throw myself off the roof and get it over with. HELP -- Joyce.

I would like more information on my following Irish ancestors: HART - Patrick from Killashandra parish, co. Cavan, Ireland; to America 1847 - eventually settled in Wisconsin. Also accompanied by his brothers Peter, Barney, Michael and John and 2 sisters (names unknown) The brothers all settled in farms near Green Bay, Wi while the sisters married and remained in the east (New Jersey?) If anyone has access to NJ census I would reallly like to find out more about these 2 sisters. I know they worked as housekeepers in I think Jersey City after arriving in America. I think one had the married name of McKenna. REHILL - Mary and her brother John and his family to America 1850s?? - eventually settled in Wisconsin. Mary became the wife of Patrick HART. BROWN - John and Susanna - Ireland to Canada about 1830- after a few years to Monroe county, NY. Grandson married daughter of Mary and Patrick HART. Children of John and Susana: Samuel, James, Thomas, Elizabeth, Amy, John, Susanna, Letitia (my great grandmother), William and Mary. Joan Borman - Irishjb@aol.com

Good Evening Is anyone researching the Hare family in Armagh? My great grandparents were John Hare of Ballyreagh,Ballymore Parish,and Mary Ann Marshall of Corernagh,Ballymore Parish. John was the son of Samuel Hare and Mary Ann was the daughter of William Marshall. They were all shown as weavers. The marriage was in the town of Banbridge Jan. 15,1851. They were thought to be Presbyterians. My grandfather was Samuel Hare,who arrived in Ontario about 1865,at the age of nine. I have no idea what happened to his parents . I would love to hear from anyone who is researching either of these families. Regards Beth Speicher in Ontario

Maybe someone can help with this query ? Echos

I have a newspaper called "California Patron and Agriculturist and Farm Grange" dated April 28, 1888. The front page has a picture and write up about my great grandfather, Daniel Clark. He was born in Ireland in 1824. His father emigrated to Canada while Daniel was quite young. In 1838 the Clark family moved to Missouri. In 1844 Daniel joined a company of frontiersman and came to Oregon. My grandfather was born in Oregon in 1859. I would like to find where in Ireland he was born and any other possible information about mother and father and siblings. Thanks for any help. Stanley W.

His obituary from 1911, Ontario Canada states that he was born in 1810 six miles from Enniskillen, Fermanagh, County, Ireland at Loch Erne ( which I have been told is probably Lough Erne). Yes he was 101. Is there a way of narrowing down the place where he was born. Thank you to all who take the time to reply. Sandra Dube' Kemano, B.C. Canada

BJ Hinshaw at hinshaw@cyberzane.net asks: >Is there a way to narrow down where a person came from in Ireland? >Two Scottish censuses said he (Arthur) was born in Ireland, but gave no >indication where. Neither Arthur nor Hood (his mother's maiden name) seem to >be very common in Ireland, so I'm hoping I can track them down (esp since >someone born as late as 1846 might actually have made it into the records >somewhere). BJ..The Griffith's Valuation was taken in Ireland 1848-1864..The Index of that Valuation shows households headed by 119 HOOD families and 233 ARTHUR families. HOOD appeared most often in Co.Antrim (34),Tyrone (27),Down (14), Donegal (12) and Derry (8). ARTHUR was most common in Cos.Tyrone(92),Clare(28),Derry(24),Antrim(18), Fermanagh(16) and Donegal(7). Both family names appear in many counties but usually no more than four times.
