Hi, ?? I am searching my family line and have run into a lot of confusing information which has stalled my search.? My g-grandmother, TIMONEY, Annie Ellen b. 24 June 1876 immigrated to the United States in 1901 aboard the Peruvian.? Various records show that the ship originated in Glasgow, Scotland went to Moville, Ireland then Mullinasole or Mullinacole, and finally Londonderry.? She?could have boarded in any of those locations.? ?They landed in Boston, Massachusetts.? Her Final destination was Portland, Cumberland, Maine where she was to meet her uncle Michael Mccoy.? Annie was the dau of William and Catherine McKay Timoney (Timony).? Annie m John William Gillery in Portland, Cumberland Maine in 1902.? In searching through the birth records of their children, Annie's place of birth has been listed as both Glasgow Scotland and Rosella or Roselia Ireland, and once even as Montreal Canada.? ??I cannot find any reference to a location called Rosella or Roselia in Ireland, I searched various databases for Annie and can find nothing of her life in Ireland, nor for her parents.? I have her history from 1901 to her death in 1951, just nothing prior.?? Family confirms she was born in Donegal, but no one can say for sure where.? Her Uncle Michael Mccoy, was presumably the brother of her mother Catherine McKay though I can find nothing to confirm that as I do not know the name of their parents to cross reference.? ? Is there anyone who might be able to help sort out these locations ? Is there any reference for tracking the ship's route?? Anyone who may be searching the same lines?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ellen ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.

Hi Ellen -- Focusing on oral history of Donegal - "Rosalia" might Rossnowlagh. Other suggestions might be Rossinver, Co. Leitrim or Rosslea, Co. Fermanagh, both counties which have a border with Co. Donegal. I found the following post doing an archival search of Rootsweb e-mail lists. Are you related to a Virginia Caroline Morton? If you do a search of the Rootsweb e-mail list archives you will find her e-mail address. "This is a (2004) Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Timoney, Gillery, Schmidt, Harris Message Board Post: My birth certificate shows William J. Gillery and Virginia Caroline Morton to be my parents. I never knew my Dad. Later on, through some research, we discovered my Dad's birth certificate showed Annie Timoney and John William Gillery were his parents. Virginia Caroline Morton" ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 7:13 AM Subject: [IRELAND] Timoney, Timony, McCoy, McKay > Hi, > ??

Ellen, I've had a quick look at the Vital Records Cd's for Ireland and England. This is what is on them for Timony in Donegal. Anne Timony born on the 29th June 1872 to William Timony and Catherine McCay, of Laghy, Donegal. Catherine born on the 28th March 1874, mother down as McCoy. Mary born on the 23rd October 1876, mother down as McCoy. All of the above have a father called William and a mother called Catherine McCay/McCoy.
