Thank you Jane.....I am so grateful for this forum. Leaving for Ireland soon, ordered a file from LDS, and just hoping I have more information before I arrive in Ireland.

Jane You mentioned Noonan. I am looking for Martin J. Flaherty and wife Mary Noon, (Noone) and Noonan. Someone in the Galway Heritage Center West told me it would not be Noonan. I don't know why. Anyway we think she came from Spiddal but have never been able to find the family. Patricia

In his obituary, it stated: "Mr. Nolan was born in the parish of Killiane County Galway, Ireland, in 1827 and came to this country early in 1849" However, on his death certificate it stated he was born in 1822. Catherine NAUGHTON was his wife. I have been unable to find anything (other than the ship records) showing where he came from in Ireland. Thanks! Tom Novak

Moycullen Parish Looking for info on Timothy and Marianne Curran of Spiddal Town. Timothy was a shopkeeper. Ch. Michael b. 1863 - Agnes b. 1864 - Bridget b. 1867 - Edward b. 1869 - John b. 1871 - Julia b. 1873 and Annie b. 1876. Bridget settled and married in Boston, Ma. The 1901 C. shows Timothy 66 publican with Mary- Daug. Julia-Daug. and Mary Curran 13 G.D. I could not find them on the 1911 C. Trying to find what happened to the rest of the family. Thanks Liz in Ma.

There were huge families of Currans & McHughs in Ballycasey Galway. That is right near Spiddal. Barb

I know I should not even send a message for this because I do not know what town or what parish my ancestor is from, but I am hoping someone will have some hints for me. I have been looking for so long. My ancestor, Edward Flaherty, was born on January 12, 1817 somewhere in Galway. I do not know his parents names or what town or parish. I do know he emigrated to the U.S. in 1851, spent some time in OHio and then they went to Baltimore, Maryland, where he lived until his death in 1882. I even know he is buried in New Cathedral Cemetery in Baltimore and have seen his grave. However, his gravestone only says from Galway and so does his wife's, Ann. It drives me crazy because I can't find where exactly in Galway. So, if anyone has any info, I would appreciate it tremendously. Thanks. Linda

Kinvarradoorus I don't know the name of the RC parish. Maybe someone on this list can help me find which RC church I should be looking for records from (and where to find the records, if you know)? Mary Ellen Philips was born in Kinvarra on 30 Apr 1876 to Richard Holmes Philips (born c.1854) and Lucy Burke (born c.1859). I know this from immigrant papers in the US. Richard and Lucy moved to London when Mary Ellen was an infant and she stayed in Ireland (she was too sickly to move), living with her grandmother, Ellen Burke (maiden name unknown). Mary Ellen finally moved to London to join her parents when she was 15 years old. I know from family stories that Ellen Burke was a widow by 1881. Mary Ellen is the first of my ancestors to be researched in Ireland and I've put all the information that I know in this email. I'm not finding as much information online as I've found for Canada & England. I'm not sure of the best way to proceed to find out about this Irish family. I would appreciate advice from anyone who would care to offer it. What should I do first? Thanks, Sue Poirier -----Original Message----- From: Jane Lyons PhD.

James C. INGLIS, General Manager ---------- PITHY PARS. --- Personal, Parochial Provincial and Particular ---------- Lord and Lady Clonbrock, the Earl of Westmeath, and Lord Killanin, attended Lord Lansdowne's reception on the King's Birthday on Thursday. ---------- At the Blackrock College Sports on Tuesday, a Tuam boy, H St. J. Blake, youngest son of Mrs Charles Blake, of the Bridge House, won several first class distinctions. He competed successfully in the high jump, the handball tournament, and got the silver medal in the lawn tennis competition. ---------- We understand that Dr G H Pethybridge the eminent and erudite Professor of the Royal College of Science, Dublin, has just commenced, in Clifden and the West of Ireland, some important investigations into different diseases that affect the potato crop. ---------- We understand some otter hounds are about to visit the classic grounds of Galway, also the rivers thereof, the object in view being the pursuit of the wily otter. We are glad of it - that is to say we are glad to hear it. There is no dearth of otters in Galway. Anyway the visitors will be welcome, and they have good sport. ---------- The Mayfly has been well "up" this summer in most of the Irish districts where the Mayfly or greendrake is used. Sport with the Mayfly has been specially good in the Oughterard locality where handsome baskets of large trout have been got. The Galway river shows up well to. Large quantities of trout have lately been sent from that district and neighbourhood to the English market, and we are pleased to be able to say that all the fish were caught by fair angling means and not netted or caught by "ottering." We learn that in one fortnight 882 lbs of trout fairly caught were sent to England and that this made up a total of 4 ½ tons for a period extending a little over four months. This looks healthy indeed and is pleasant reading. Another large pike was got at Oughterard lately too by a local angler trolling. It measured forty-five inches from snout to end of tail, was twenty-four inches in girth and weighed thirty-four pounds. Good luck Oughterard, go on and prosper Oughterard ! ---------- Two distinguished Mayo men at present hold high rank in Maynooth College. We refer to Very T P Gilmartin, D D, who is Vice-President of the College, and Very Rev P Morrisroe, D D, who is Hon Treasurer of the Union. The former is a native of Castlebar, and the latter of Charlestown. ---------- At the King's Scholarship Examination held at Tuam during Easter week, Miss M J Kelly, daughter of Mrs Kelly, Manulla N S, took a high place in the first division, thereby entitling her to a place, at her choice of two Training Colleges, for the coming session. This is very creditable indeed, as the competition was so very keen, and the programme very difficult. ---------- Rev M Bourke, who has been promoted to the pastoral charges of Turlough parish, entered upon his new duties, and received a cordial welcome from his parishioners, amongst whom he had laboured as curate for many years, and on this account his Grace, the Archbishop did not deem it necessary to have any Induction ceremony. Arrangements are being made for the presentation to Father Bourke of an illuminated address, and a substantial gift, but the people, in their perseverance, decided to show some token of the high regard and esteem in which they hold him. ---------- Rev W J M'Evilly (?), who has been translated from Keelogues to Turlough, has gone to reside in his new house. ---------- Dr Robert Henry Kirwan, who has been for some time Assistant Medical Officer at Castlebar District Asylum, has received an important appointment in Leeds Asylum. Since he was appointed to the position of assistant at the Castlebar Asylum, on the well-deserved promotion of Dr F C Ellison to the Resident Medical Superintendentship, he gained the entire confidence of the Committee, and proved himself to be a conscientious and hard working official, the keen interest he took in the welfare of the poor insane won for him the gratitude of those afflicted creatures who will lose in him a kind friend. We wish Dr Kirwan success in his new sphere. Dr. Kirwan is a Dunmore man, second son of Thomas Kirwan, Esq, of Merton House, Dunmore, and of Miss ffrench Mullen, daughter of the late Lawrence Mullen, Esq, of Ardmullen, Tuam. ---------- Amongst those ordained to priesthood by his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, at Maynooth on Sunday, was Rev John Heneghan, son of Mr Walter Heneghan, Louisburgh. We tender Father Heneghan and his respected parents our hearty congratulations. ---------- Jim McNamara British Isles Family History Society - USA, Newsletter Editor http://www.rootsweb.com/~bifhsusa

Thanks to all who gave us encouragement and suggestions, etc. Sincerely, Sheila

Families in Boston by 1872. Anyone else working on these names?

Do not know if this is a town or parish. Ballymoe Patrick Martin, Owen Martin, Mary Martin, children of John Martin and Bridget. Also Mary's children brought up by their grandparents in Ballymoe. Grace Coleman, Francis Coleman, and John Coleman. Nancy from Massachusetts
