Hi again Mark, That's perked my history knowledge up a bit. If you go to GOOGLE and do a search on "Edgeworth family Ireland" you will get a lot of hits. Came from England in the 1500's, were given a grant of land 1609 or thereabouts in Longford. There is a town in Longford called Edgeworthtown where their seat was. Can't find any Kildare info. but there is a Genforum list for Edgeworth. Perhaps you could put a question on that.

Here are some Edgeworth's in Longford. http://homepage.tinet.ie/~jmac/FrancisEdgeworth.htm Cheers, MAGGIE mark ODONNELL wrote: >hiya, >i dont suppose there waa any edgeworths in them landowners of kildare? mine >were born there 1850s-60s but cant trace them. >cheers, >mark > > >==== IRL-CO-DONEGAL Mailing List ==== >This list is for anyone researching ancestors in County Donegal Ireland.

Hi Mark, You have very flash connections. Unfortunately can't find any in Kildare. In Longford we have: Antonie Edgeworth Essex Edgeworth Michael Pakenham Edgeworth More around Ireland. Let me know if you want another county looked up. Found an Antonio Edgeworth married in Westminster, London in 1874. There are at least 400 on the IGI but none for Kildare. Will do a quick look later from another source.

Hi Rosalie, I did a search on the Griffiths Valuation (1851). There were no Richard BELL's there. Couldn't find anything on the IGI. I tried Scotland and England in case they were newcomers to Ireland, but nothing there. However on Griffiths I found the following: Richard BELL's were in the following places: Ravemet. Down Armagh, Hacknahay Armagh, Derrykeeran Dublin, Coombe St Tyrone, Ballynasallas Derry, Bishop Street Tyrone, Gortmore, Omagh Town Antrim and Kildare, (taken from a list of Landowners in Ireland 1876) I didn't search through all of the Griffiths, but the Derry Richard may be of interest.

hiya, i dont suppose there waa any edgeworths in them landowners of kildare? mine were born there 1850s-60s but cant trace them. cheers, mark

Hello all, Has anyone found the name McColm in County Donegal or County Tyrone while searching various web sites? John McColm was my ancestor who came to the US abt. 1791. Thank you very much, Nancy

I thank everyone for their insights into the place names. The next question is how do I go about or where do I go to check which place is where John Thomas Bell is from? From his marriage cert. his parents were Richard Bell and Margaret Leigh. Rosalie

I would think that it would be county Fermanagh, which is south east of county Donegal. Janice

Lackagh is a large townland, over a thousand acres, in Inishkeel civil parish. It's about 6 miles NNW of Ardara, and forms the bump on the peninsula, from Portnoo to the west - including Dunmore Head. I'll keep browsing for Balliriston, or similar.

Hi Barbara, The Clonmany-Carndonagh area is my forté as that's where my parents come from, and where I live, so I'll help you out as best I can. For starters, here's the Carndonagh Baptismal records for Bernard and Mary's family (these records I have span 1847/8 to 1900, so unless they moved from the area, this should hopefully be complete - there's certainly no big gaps that suggest so): Donagh Baptismal Records Date of Baptism - Child's Surname Child's First Name - Father's First Name - Mother's Surname Mother's First Name - Townland 17 Oct 1852 - Bradly Bernard Joseph - Bernard McGeogan Mary - Keady Wood 05 Feb 1855 - Bradly Mary Anne - Barny McGeogan Mary - Gortnamarrow 25 Apr 1857 - Bradley Ellen - Bernard McGeohegan Mary - Wood Hill 17 Jul 1859 - Bradley James - Bernard McGeoghegan Mary - 18 Aug 1861 - Bradley Madgy - Bernard McGeoghegan Mary - 23 Apr 1864 - Bradley Patrick - Bernard McGeoghegan Mary - Tiernaleague Gortnamara, Wood Top and Tiernaleague are all within a third of a mile radius of each other. I'll ask my mother about Keady Wood, but I imagine it's the same place as Wood Top (it's the only wood nearby). Hope this helps, I'll see if I can route out more. Regards, Michael

> Would s.k.s. who speaks Gaelic please tell me the Gaelic for "Little Mac" and "The Fifth"? I would love to talk to my great-grandson in Gaelic at least for his nicknames. Thanks in advance. In what context are you wanting to use "the fifth"? "Little Mac" would literally be "Maicín". I am not a native speaker, but I do follow these things. I don't see maicín used often, but it does appear. You can search for it on google at http://www.google.com/intl/ga/. There is even a book called "An Maicín Cliste" at www.litriocht.com. Crucial Note: When used to formally address your wee man there, like in a letter or formal spoken address, you would say "a mhaicín", meaning "my little mac". Just like when you say "my little dear", you would say "a stóirín". "a" causes lenition in some beginning consonants, hence the added "h" in "a mhaicín". Sound "uh whuck-een". (uh as in under) Example: When I address my wife, I always say "a stór". "My dear". Another common term of endearment is "mic" (son). So, you would hear often "a mhic", but seldom, "a mhicín". a mhic = uh vick I strongly commend you for asking about this and suggest you continue to ask questions about how to do things right when using a language that you don't speak, like Irish. Better to take a few extra moments to show respect for Irish by researching it than to act like some careless people do. You might simply sign up for Gaeilge-B at http://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=gaeilge-b&A=1 deagh-ghuigh, Paul Carr foghlaimeoir / learner

I would also be interested in any early records in Ireland. Virginia

Hi, This is the first time I have submitted names, that I am searching. They are my maternal grandparent. Patrick Bradley, and Mary Anne (O'Donnell)Bradley/ Patrick was born in 1864, and Mary in 1873. Both were born in Carndonagh County Donegal. They came to US in the late l800's, I am not sure they came together though. They married in Boston Ma in 1901, and lived I think in Malden, Peabody, and finally Salem Ma. They had 6 children. Sue, Helen, Margaret, Mary, Jim, & Tess(Theresa) Patricks parents were: Bernard Bradley, and his mothers maiden name was Mary McGeoghegan(McGoggin). I think that Bernards fathers name was Corneilus, but I am not at all sure of this. I am pretty sure that Patrick had at least two sibblins, Margaret, who settled in the San Jose area of California and married an O'Connor. They had several children and some of the girls became nuns I think. His brothers name may have been Philip, I seem to recall him living in Everett Ma.in the late 1950's. Marys parents were James O'Donnell, and Susan White Doherty. I know that Mary had several brothers, Neil, Philip, Hugh, John, and someone told me that there may have been a sister that died in infancy named either Maggie or Sue. I am sorry if I gave you to much information to digest at once, but I would appreciate any help from anyone out there, that may possibly be researhing any of these names here in Massachusetts, or maybe in California. (elsewhere to possibly) God Bless you all. Barbara B [email protected]
