I have a question re. my father's family surname PAGE. Each time I enter that name into the search area at the Irish Family History Foundation website, the results not only include the name PAGE, but also GILL, MAGILL, MCGILL and various other spellings of the GILL surname. I can understand and appreciate variant results of whatever surname has been entered, but the surnames GILL and PAGE seems, to me, to be totally unrelated. Can anyone give me an explanation or some ideas as to the how these two names might be connected? Thanks. Allison Page Hockman

Thank you Maire and Pete for the time distance between Oranmore and Tuam...I can now see that my ancestors could easily have covered that distance with a horse and cart .Joining this list has given me the interest to restart with my CONNOLLEY ancestors.

Maire asks: === Where is Pete with his maps? === I'm here - but I'm spending the day listening to the election results. I was in Ireland during an election in the 90's, and loved it. I love all of the reporting, the tallymen, the quotas, etc. A great election system. I tried to get all of my information together this morning in order to reply before the election results started.....but I was having trouble finding a C of I church in the Tuam C of I parish other than the obvious St. Mary's Cathedral in Tuam itself. So I decided to wait a day for more information. And Peter Mitchell helped supply that, with: "From about the 1850's to almost 1920 the Church of Ireland in the area of Tuam maintained numerous small churches." I have information from various books/maps, but the only mention I could find of a C of I church outside of St. Mary's is a reference in Brian Mitchell's "Guide to Irish Churches and Graveyards". He lists a C of I church, and attached cemetery, in the townland of Lissavally, in Killererin civil parish. I can't find any mention of this in my books, nor is it shown on the Townland Index maps of the mid-1800's, nor is it mentioned in the Archaeological Inventory of North Galway (the newer churches are rarely mentioned, but essentially all of the graveyards should be included). The current Discovery map does show a "Graveyard" in Lissavally townland, but no indication of a church at all. My half-inch-scale map from 1979 does show a church "antiquity' at this Lissavally site. The AI book does not acknowledge this graveyard, much less the church. The Ordnance Survey letters from 1839 do not mention an existing, functioning C of I church in the parish at that time. But again, the intent of these letters was to identify "Antiquities", so the church might not have been included. Is that sufficiently garbled and confusing? (Don't all say "yes" at once !![gr]). I think that the various distance measurements are taken care of, so I'll skip over that.

Don't overlook Griffith's Valuation when trying to find out if there was a church, chapel, meeting house or graveyard in a particular townland in the mid-1800s. Following up on Pete's lead, I checked Griffith's Valuation. There are townlands next to one another in Killererin civil parish called Lissavally and also Lissavally Glebe. Glebe lands are a sure indication of a Church of Ireland. The main tenants listed in Griffith's are "Rev. W. LePoer Trench" and "Church Educ. Society", which had a school house & land (exempted from taxation). "Rev. William Le Poer Trench" also appears in Griffith's under Lissavally (not Glebe) as immediate lessor on lot 2a, described as "Church and grave-yard" (and again exempt from taxes). He also had some bog land. The immediate lessor on much of this land and other land in these 2 townlands, which are side-by-side, was John A. Kirwan. Here is a link to the OSI (Ordnance Survey of Ireland) map centered on the church at Lissavally: http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,553479,747275,6,7 The Glebe House is across the road. Choose the Historic 6" map and zoom in until you can see the details well. Also try toggling the Ortho 2005 and 200 for aerial views, and "Street Map" for just a map. Many of the maps are different at different scales, so try zooming in and out with each of them. The townland boundaries appear in red on the Historic 6" map and the townlands are clearly labeled. The Glebe House and school were in the townland of Lissavally Glebe, and the Church itself was across the road in the townland of Lissavally. This seems to have been the only townland in Killererin civil parish with the word "Glebe" in its name at that time.

Margaret, Sorry, missed the first part of your email where you asked..... My great-great-uncles came from Killererin, two of whom were born before civil registration. Would Killererin have a church where they would have been baptised? They were Church of Ireland >From about the 1850's to almost 1920 the Church of Ireland in the area of Tuam maintained numerous small churches. The largest church was St. Mary's Cathedral in Tuam itself. In 1860 St. Mary's was much smaller than today. As St. Mary's grew the smaller churches in the area folded into St. Mary's. Eventually all the records from most of these smaller satellite churches went to St. Mary's. In the 1990's most of St. Mary's records went to the Church of Ireland's library in Dublin. Some records still exist at St. Mary's. One book is missing. If you ever get to St. Mary's look up Jarleth Canney. He is a local historian on Church of Ireland history in the area. He used to be the custodian at St. Mary's.

My great-great-uncles came from Killererin, two of whom were born before civil registration. Would Killererin have a church where they would have been baptised? They were Church of Ireland. Thank you. Joy

Thanks Diane, that's brilliant news. I asked at the church some years ago. The priests are very short handed.

Galway West has Killanin baptisms back to 1834, the LDS to 1875. Diane

The Bishop of Galway is also Bishop of Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora. Behind the modern Killannin Church (in the townland of Pribaun) next to the current graveyard is an older Killannin Church. This was erected sometime in the 19c. The roof no longer remains. There is an older remains of a church in the old Killannin Graveyard in Killannin townland down a boreen on the opposite side of the road. There is also the remains of a church from the 6th c nearby. Killannin parish was originally in the diocese of Tuam. Its transfer to Galway diocese was met with violent resistance with the parish priest appointed by Galway diocese having to be supported by the armed forces based in Oughterard. I have a photograph or two of the ruins.

Immaculate Heart of Mary is a church in the town of Killanin, parish of Rosscahill, County Galway. It's not near Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora but in the same diocese, so perhaps that's the confusion. If you Google Immaculate Heart of Mary Killanin, you'll see a photo of a modern church, though it's possible the old church building survives. You could always write or call and ask. Diane

I am getting the feeling that Immaculate Heart of Mary parish is a "modern" name for a recent parish and that the parish that my kinfolk attended probably had a different name. I guess I need more research on this question.

I wrote the information I mentioned on a card and did not add any other information that might have helped make sense of it at a later time. You would think I had learned that by now but obviously not . You have helped me out some time ago with the Pendergast research. I am aware that there are many missing records of the time and area but someone found the marriage in a LDS record so I know that the marriage is recorded. I would be most interested in baptismal information from the 1840+ time period. I know that Michael and Winifred Pendergast had a son Martin and I am looking for a record of his baptism. I would also be interested in any photo's of the church that existed at the time my kin were living in the area. I would be glad to pay you for the photo's.
