Dear Linley, I do know about Nick Reddon's site and it is impressive - but I would have to put everything into Excel and in different columns to fit his system and I don't have the time to do that right now. Maybe a year from now. I have already contributed a number of items to his site. His is the only other site so far that I would feel happy putting more of my deeds research on if someone else wanted to undertake that task. Thanks.

As part of getting my ducks in a row in readiness for my next research binge in Ireland, I have typed out all my scribblings from previous visits to the Deeds Registry in Ireland. They ended up being an 80 page word document and including about 1,000 records (wills, deeds, leases, marriage articles ...). I have broken this document into smaller bits and posted it in ten separate documents so that it isn't a pain to download. You can access them all from this page: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/DeedRegistry/Hyperlinks-DeedsResearch.html Unfortunately, I am only a rudimentary user of web building software so there are a few glitches. As always. The most annoying one (to me, at least) is that I had to cut out two columns from my original chart to make them fit the width of the screen. They were the columns that noted the townlands and key names. For those memorials where I have taken notes, this is not such a problem. Where I don't (and have only the memorial # and the key names), it will have to wait to come in the fullness of time. Since I will be adding substantially to this in the near future, there is no point in me making hundreds of formatting changes at this stage. So, I beg your patience. The best thing is that the records are organized by book number and I have hyperlinks to the records that I have footnoted notes made and posted. If you find any that you know more about than I do, then as always, I appreciate learning more. Enjoy!

I also seek GILHOOLY and would be grateful if any information could be made known to me if it is seen for Ellen Darby, nee GILHOOLY, of Latt, Co Cavan, or environs. Or indeed, if any other suggestions are available to show me what direction to head off on. I note the researcher option. Can do more before that stage? My only actual reference, to date, is: Marriage record on February 5th, 1901 at Westport New Zealand, of my grandfather, Robert Darby, aged 51, born Latt, Co Cavan to WIlliam Darby (carpenter) and Ellen, nee GILHOOLY (Note: Robert emigrated to NZ after 1874, his year of marriage at Londonderry and before first child born in NZ in 1876) I have located the following (Griffiths Valuation): 1. Thomas GILHOOLY, tenant of Earl of Lanesborough (valuation ID 206493) 2. Thomas GILHOOLY, tenant of John Gumley (valuation ID 20622) 3. Patrick GILHOOLY, tenant of John Parker (valuation ID 219372), and 4. John GILHOOLY, tenant of Matthew Lough (valuation ID 211034) I cannot yet lay claim to any of the above. William DARBY - the same name as Ellen's husband, but may not be the same gentleman, is also listed as: William DARBY, tenant of Earl Annesley (valuation ID 205347) Alas, that is the sum total, at present...

I have a Gilhooly family in Manchester, who according to census records were all born in Ireland except for the youngest who was born in Manchester abt. 1830. On the 1861 census a birthplace in Ireland is listed for the father and a daughter. The father, Charles Gilhooly’s, birthplace is listed as Carwen, Ireland about 1784 and the daughter Margaret’s as Carraganan, Ireland about 1826. To the best of my knowledge no such place names exist and I’m wondering if they could be Co. Cavan and Carrigallen, Leitrim. Do you think I could I be correct in this assumption? Was the Gilhooly name known in this part of Ireland? Any suggestions on how I might research this further would be appreciated.

Yes, I use failteromhat to get an overview (when I need one), figure out where surnames, or combinations of surnames, were most common. I then check the Irish Family History Foundation site to see if they've indexed the parish records. If they have, I look for the particular people I'm researching in the index. If I can narrow my prospects down to one or two parishes, I check the LDS filmed parish records. At about the same time, I go to askabout ireland to look for more information about those prospects or their possible relatives. Diane

As Diane has pointed out, you can also search Griffith's at failteromhat.com. I tend to use these 2 sights in tandem. I find that failteromhat.com is a little easier and more flexible for searching, but you can't beat the detail at http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie.

Helen, Latt is in Annagelliff civil parish, which is part of Cavan/Urney RC parish. The Griffith's index has 4 Gilhooly entries for Co. Cavan, including one in Urney.

Hi, Jane! Pleased to meet you! Where have you been all my life! I've been researching Slowey/Sloey/Sloy since the beginning of time - well, at least since 1995 - without coming in contact with another person so involved. The cc is to my sister, Carol Gebhart Marlo, in St. Louis, Missouri who has shared my frustration. I'm in Long Beach, California. We have exhausted the records of both the PRO of the Republic and the PRO of NI, such church records of which we are aware, and also the patience of more than one researcher without advancing our search a single step so I'm going to give you the whole enchilada, the whole nine yards, re: my GGF, John Slowey, before you turn out to be a product of my feverish imagination. What we know of John Slowey is this: o He was born in 1841, probably in Ireland. The town and county is unknown. o He married Elizabeth Davidson /Davison/Davis in about 1863. The location is unknown. Elizabeth (b. 22 June 1842) was the daughter of John Davidson/Davison/Davis and Elizabeth Cline/Clyne o Family tradition says that their first two children, John (b. 1865), and Elizabeth (b. 17 Feb 1866), were born in Glasgow, Scotland. We have no record of this. o The family emigrated to North America in about 1869. John is found at several addresses in Allegheny City, now northern Pittsburgh, between 1870 and 1876. o Three more children were born in Allegheny City, Eleanor (1870), Kate (27 Oct 1872), and Mary Josephine, our grandmother, (5 Feb 1876). o The family moved to Little Rock, Arkansas in 1876 where John Slowey farmed and perhaps worked for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad. The family is shown in Bogy Township of Jefferson County, Arkansas in the 1880 census. o John Slowey died between 1880 and 1883. Do you know John and Elizabeth?

I think you're on the right track, Jenny. The Griffith's index on failteromhat.com shows Gilhoolys most numerous in Leitrim, and several in Carrigallen. The Irish Times site shows baptisms back to 1829 (see below) but not filmed by the LDS, so you'd have to pay someone to research it for you.

Hello Just subscribed. Anyone out there researching the surname of SLOWEY or CLARKE. I have Margaret Ann SLOWEY born abt 1822 in So. Cavan, according to 1851 census in Manchester. She married Peter CLARKE born about 1820 in Enniskillen. Their first child was born 1847 in Manchester; therefore marriage must have taken place about 1842-1847. But don't know whether marriage in Manchester or Ireland. But as yet cannot find marriage in Manchester. Wondering if anyone has any ideas of a location for (Roman Catholic) marriage in Ireland? And if any records for possible churches available to search for the period 1842-1847. Any help appreciated! Regards Jane Coop (West Yorkshire, England)

Jane, sometimes an uncommon name is a blessing. I searched the Griffith's index for Slowey in Cavan and Fermanagh to see where it was most common and found only one--in Clones (RC Roslea) parish of Fermanagh, on the border with Cavan. Unfortunately, the filmed records go back only to 1862. Diane

Hi Jane, Availability of records varies parish by parish. I just did a search at http://ifhf.brsgenealogy.com/map.php?&set=yes and found a Margaret Slowey marriage in 1843 in Co West Meath, but there was not a corresponding entry for Peter Clarke, which implies it is not in their system. The fact that the record isn't available does not mean it doesn't exist, however. It could be that the parish did not make it available to the IFHF. If you knew the parish you were interested in, you could check http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/counties/rcmaps/cavanrc.htm for availability. The National Library in Dublin would have a copy if it exists. The LDS has film of records for some parishes. Good luck.
