I am researching John Stafford b. 1810 in Sallyhill , married Margaret Nesbitt. Also, their son Benjamin's (b. 1864) descendants in Australia, possibly Parkview. Also researching Arthur McClean, b. 1815 in Tullyboy, Kilbride.

Rosemary, My g grandmother was Eliza Bannon in Cootehill. Born about 1865 and died about 1895. Kevin --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool. Try it!

I am researching the line of Peter Joseph Loughlin b. 1892 in Ballyjamesduff, parents were Peter Joseph O'Loughlin and Catherine Hannon. They had 10 children, so someone out there might know something about them!

My family line is: John ROTHWELL, 1846 - 1896, s/o John Rothwell of Ballyhaise married 12 July 1869 to Mary Anne MARTIN 1849 - 1927, d/o James Martin and Catherine RENNICK of Lisagoan. When John died in 1896, Mary Anne lived with her son William in Crossmeglen, Co. Armagh, and came to Canada in 1917. A son Thomas ROTHWELL remained in Cootehill. Carolyn Ontario, Canada

Lucky lucky you. I also went to Cana House about a year or so ago when we traveled to Ireland. However, they could find nothing in their records for my Samuel Hart and his wife Rebecca Kelly. The did find a Margaret Hart whose father was named Samuel Hart, with no mother's name, but so far I have not been able to connect those two Samuels - the dates, marriages, etc. don't seem to fit. Well, now that I think of it, perhaps Samuel had a girlfriend in Ireland whose baby was Margaret, and then he married Rebecca and left for Canada........ possible, I suppose!

William Bell. (farmer) 1800 - 1900, County Cavan. His son, Thomas born 1850 - 1860, (age varies in records, - lived in Enniskillen), declared his father to be Wm Bell, a farmer, in his 1876 marriage Certificate. No other facts known. Many Thanks Robert Bell.

>> Patrick Riley... they laughed I hope you were not too put off... The eastern part of Cavan or what was approximately East Breifne, was often called Breifne O'Reilly, from its princes or chiefs having from remote ages borne that name. See for example, Lewis Topograpical Dictionary published in 1837. It is a very common name in Cavan... Per MacLysaght: Very numerous: all areas, especially Ulster and N Leinster. Ir. Ó Raghallaigh. One of the leading septs of Breifne (Cavan). Synonyms: Reilly, Riley. MacLysaght, Edward, Irish Families, Dublin, 1980 Griffith's Primary Valuation property survey of 1848-64 has 132 O'Reillys in Cavan... the next closest is Meath with 34, and steadily declining number from there.

>From beautiful snowy & Icy mountains of NC USA; Cannot find any confirming church records or Civil records after ten years of research, My gggrandmother Francis/Mary Lovett-Phillips left Cavan Ireland in 1851 with her two daughters Mary (6) and my Ggrandmother Delia/Brid Phillips (4). No sign of her husband Peter Phillips. ???? Typical of my Irish women ancestors, as Francis/Mary aged, her birth years varied from (1811) on boat in 1851 to (1826) at death in NYC in 1892. Her Cavan father (no first name- Lovett) she listed as a "gardener" when Francis entered NYC Blackwell Islands Almshouse in 1891. Since daughter Delia's first child 1869 NYC, of many was my Grandfather James, fairly certain Francis/Mary's father was JAMES Lovett. Religion issues. Most Lovett's in Cavan from Belturbit were Church of Ireland., Delia married Catholic in 1867 in NYC to my ggrandfather Bernard McElroy from Fermanagh. Dick Webber

>> Think they've finally solved the mystery. I am confident that Mike was right. However, I submitted it to the Cavan Library to see if the cemetery in Derver/Dervor can be considered an Old Cemetery... and to see if they might have a copy of the journal article.

Kay, In looking closely at the article last night, I took the scan an "lightened it" with software... that is, I removed much of the noise that is attendant upon the original scanned text sent to me by you. While it was not 100% conclusive with respect to Do_ver/Dower/De_ver, it did help me fill in the above missing word... it should read "laity of all CLASSES." Again, this word was slightly mis-struck, and in the original impossible to read. It was only clear after some work. Hopefully we will get a final call on Dervor/Derver and you can post a fully corrected copy of the article. Keep up the really great work Kay. I truly believe that one day I will read one of your articles and come face to face with my gg-grandparents George and/or Mary Anderson. Thanks. Will keep you posted on the outcome.

I've taken my search back as far as Peter Heslin (b. 1831) in Cavan. He married Judith (Mary) Darcy (b. 1835) in the 1860s.

We are seeking information on our ancestors: Thomas McManus and his wife Ellen (nee Smith), born early 1800's? We have tracked four children who settled in Australia in 1850's, their names are: Thomas who married Harriett Franklin in Adelaide 1865, then returned to Cavan before settling in Queensland 1875. Patrick who married Mary Lynch in Adelaide 1860, they settled in Victoria. Mary who married Patrick O'Donahue in Victoria and died 1929 aged 94years Ann who married Richard Pearce and settled in Perth. Thomas and Harriet were my Great Grandparents, my grandfather John Edward was born in Lisanymore in 1875 just before the family returned to Australia. Hope were may have some links, Regards John MacManus - Invercargill NZ

Looking for information on McKeown/McKeon family in Killeshandra, Co Cavan Thomas McKeown came to NZ in 1874 aged 21 years. His parents names as listed on his death certificate are Patrick and Catherine McKeown. That's all the information I have on this family before Thomas's marriage to Ellen O'Connor (Co Cork), in NZ in 1876. Joan

Could you tell me, please, how you found witnesses to a marriage? Short of having the actual documents, what path should I take? I'm looking for marriage of Samuel Hart and Rebecca Kelly sometime between 1820 and 1835. Family memories, probably accurate, say Co. Cavan was our homeplace. I don't even know if they were Catholic or not, though (once they got to Canada) they were Presbyterian in Canada, so perhaps they were Presbyterian in Ireland.

Thanks so much. I shall look at that site FreeGenealogyLookups when I have a moment to do so. Now, however, I have to ask you again about something else ------ what's "my local FHC?"
