Hello everyone, I would appreciate some help with a Co. Cavan connection that I am investigating. In 1789 James JORDAN / SHERIDAN was sentenced in Dubin to 7 years transportation for stealing. He was sent to Newfoundland on the 'Duke of Leinster' later that year, only to be sent back to Dublin, via Portsmouth. From Dublin he was sent to New South Wales on the 'Queen' in 1791. James is included on a list of prisoners in Newfoundland. His place of birth is given as Cornegall, Co. Cavan. A search of Griffith's Valuations has confused me as to the location of Cornegall. Does anyone on this list know this location or can anyone suggest what the correct name might be? Also, does anyone have any Jordan or Sheridan connections in this area? James stuck by the name Jordan in Australia, but I'm still unsure as to whether his name was actually Jordan or Sheridan. Until now there are older members of the family who pronounce the name 'Jerden'. Any locals who have come across similar pronunciation-based confusion with these names? Thanks very much for your help, Christopher

Seanruad.com shows a Cornagall (not Cornegall) in Drung, and the Griffith's index on failteromhat.com shows 3 Jordans and 3 Sheridans in the parish, though not the townland. Diane

Dear Christina, I have recently returned from a wonderful holiday in Ireland and read your email regarding grave sites. I have quite a few photo's of headstones of the family name Reilly from Balljamesduff. They were taken in the new cemetery, the old one was overgrown with weeds, I was really disappointed because most of my early ancestors are buried there. If you are interested in what I have I can email them to you. I would like to find out who to complain to about the cemetery, can you help me there?

Reply to Elaine and ... Yesterday I looked at the 1821 floppy for Annagliffe in County Cavan for 1821 Census. It is the places around Cavan town. There are a number of Farrelly families. The ones I want are in Closenabradden near Kingscourt in Enniskeen.

About the 1821 Census fragments - There are 122 titles in the Temple library in Utah covering all that's left of the 1821 Census for Ireland. However, the LDS church could only record what they had been given at filming time, I have no idea if there are any more pages available in Ireland. Use this link for locating FHC films to order : http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp Select KEYWORD SEARCH and enter these searchwords : 1821 Census Ireland you'll see all 122 titles. If you wish to cull the list down to Cavan county only, use 1821 Census Cavan as your searchwords which gets the list down to a more manageable 4 titles. One of these titles is "1821 Census" which is a series of 17 films. This film series is best used to find the information we've been talking about recently. Concerning Lurgan, there is a film in that series of 17 : Co. Cavan: Lavey, Lurgan, Mullagh, Munterconnaught FHL Film #597158 [FHL is Family History Library] Can't answer for Dublin resources, but any FHC can order these films to be viewed or photocopied. Take the film number with you, volunteers may not know where to look to find these Ireland film numbers. Takes about 3 weeks for a film to be ordered and get to me from Utah. I then have access to it for about 5 weeks. It can be kept longer by extending the rental period with another payment. If a film is ordered 3 times [continuously extended rental times] its kept permanently at this FHC. Such is not the case with all FHCs.

Thank you, Meg. I am going to Salt Lake City in a couple of weeks (a major airline had a half off fare to SLC) and have ordered the films I need so they will be available when I get there and I did order this 1821 County Cavan film. I had trouble finding it because it is under 1821 Census Ireland and of course, I was looking for County Cavan. Now when I go to Dublin in May, I will be able to enjoy the wonderful scenery and people and our side trip to County Cavan. Wish me the luck of the Irish in finding our Farley relatives in the census. I will keep you posted. Thank you all so much for your help. Elaine

Interesting, Meg. When I looked for Gorteen, I just used GoogleMaps, and it brought be to a crossroad in Killeshandra, near Ballintemple. After seeing your note, I went to Griffiths at failteromhat.com and searched on Farrelly in Gorteen in Cavan (not assuming anything, just curious), and it displayed 4 Farrelly's in Gorteen or Gorteenagarry in the Parish of Kildallan. That sent me back to seanruad, where I searched on townlands beginning with Gorteen, and wouldn't you know, there are 2 other aka:Gorteen's in Cavan - one in Kildallan and one in Killashandra. (When I did my Griffith's search btw, I did not specify county. There was also a Farrelly in Gorteen in the Parish of Cloone in Co Leitrim.)

Reply to Barbara Hello Assisted Immigrants to NSW and Victoria, Australia in the 1837-1870 period are shown as from a County and Village or Parish in Ireland and the List shows parent's names and whether they are dead or alive and where living. This is on the Immigration Board List. Sometimes the List does not survive. Unassisted immigrants to Victoria show just Ireland or if ticked wrongly as England. It is only a column. We have good records in Australia but I do not know what American records show. I imagine that they went from Ireland to Liverpool by Regular ferry service or steamer..

I must apologize. The record I found for Aug 7, 1909 was for James Farrelly, a grocer, with a brother Ed in Gorteen. I mistyped on my previous note, and indicated that Ed arrived in NY. Also, the relative or friend he was going to visit upon arrival was what looks like "friend Thos Farlly" at 524 W 131 St, NY. (Penmanship was pretty bad.) I wonder if this friend was actually the brother Thomas Farrelly?. The record did indicate that the birth location for James was Cavan. Dublin was his last residence in Ireland.

Lurgan RC parish records have been filmed for the years 1755-95 (patchy) and 1821-80. You can rent them from the LDS on film 0926134 or view them at the National Library in Dublin on film 5347. I'd suggest viewing them at your local LDS Family History Center and saving Dublin (and Cavan) for sightseeing. Diane

Dear Carrie, Click on Europe or Here is a direct link to the 1841 census as it says it is a pilot, Just type in the name and when the names come up, it will say where they were born. http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1493745;p=2;t=searchable 1861 http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1493747;p=2;t=searchable The Index is free but if you think you have found your person click on the name and it will send you to http://www.findmypast.com/family-search-records.jsp where you can get pay for view records BMD's and a lot more for a low price. You can buy 60 units for 6.95 pounds good for 90 days. I think one record was 5 units.I have used it and was lucky to get the right one. Ancestry.com and ancestry.uk have the UK Censuses but it operates on the same basis the index is free you must have a membership to search index which is free.The only really free one is for the 1881 at www.familysearch.org. where you can go down the street and meet the neighbors. I have found the biggest problem is being sure you have the right person. I have to do that again soon, but have a lot of recording to do first. Many regards Jane, Jane Gosselin a5a94630@telus.net
