Omey Abbeyknockmoy Moylough Townlands of Clifden, Streamstown (Omey); Newtown (Abbeyknockmoy); Mount Bellew (Moylough). Surnames: SENIOR/SENIER The Seniors were spinners and weavers and spent time in many Irish counties - at least Cork, Limerick, Clare and Tipperary as well as Galway. I would particularly like to find the birth of Thomas SENIOR/SENIER around 1837. I have traced him back to 1868 when he married Bridget O'Donnell in Ardfinnan, Co Tipperary, but have failed to find any earlier records. He was then widowed, so there is presumably an earlier marriage. After they married Thomas and Bridget lived in Clogheen, Co Tipperary (1869), Croom, Co Limerick (1871), Annicariga, Co Clare (1873), Nenaugh, Co Tipperary (1879), Fermoy or Kilworth, Co Cork (1890s) before moving to Clifden, Co Galway (c 1900). Given this penchant for roving he could have been born anyway in Ireland, or even in England. His father was called Richard. Thomas and Bridget had 3 sons and 2 daughters. Two of the sons, Richard and Thomas Joseph, settled in Clifden and ran a weaving business in Streamstown. Richard emigrated to Boston in 1930; Thomas Joseph (my wife's grandfather) moved back to Nenaugh, Tipperary in 1923, and died in Swansea, Wales in 1961. -----Original Message----- From: Jane Lyons PhD.

Just a parish name - that's all I need, no surnames, no bits of family history......... Well, you could call this a roll call - in which case - put the name of the civil parish first on the subject line, then the surname or surnames that you are interested in. In the body of the mail, put the parish name on the first line - that's all I'm going to look at for the moment. Below that, write what you know about your ancestor who left that parish - then, people interestd in that surname will be able to read what you have to say Please and thanks.
