Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YWC.2ACI/5376.1 Message Board Post: Hello Shirley, There are Carsons and Trotters listed in the online 1901 Leitrim census. See http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/1901census/census.shtml enter each surname, select Leitrim as your search county and you'll see the entries. There are no Warks listed in that census. Without parents names for your ancestors as well as a location of birth in Leitrim, i.e. town/townland and civil parish, it can be somewhat difficult to connect to these families. There are no census records before 1901 and civil registration didn't start in Ireland until 1864. So church registers for the specific location of birth in Leitrim would be the source for family information. Their availability depends on the location as well as the religious denomination. You can research Samuel Carson and Ann Trotter's civil and church records in Canada to find their parents names and specific location of birth in Leitrim. Their children's civil and church records may include where their parents were born in Leitrim. Or you can try to research the church registers for the 1901 locations of Carsons and Trotters in Leitrim and see if you can make a connection that way. Church registers aren't computerised or centralised. You would need to know Samuel and Ann's religious denomination to determine what church registers exist for the locations of Trotters and Carsons in the 1901 census records and how they might be accessed.

It is highly possible Samuel's parents are William and Ann Carson. After spending much time and energy on searching Armagh as their birthplace as related in our oral history I find in the 1851 Census for Canada they list their birthplaces as Leitrim.

Hello everyone: I am posting this inquiry in the hope that someone on the list may be able to assist me in the search for my FERGUSON and CONNOLLY ancestors from Kinlough. I have in my possession the details of the marriage record for my great grandparents John Ferguson and Mary Connolly. They were married 27 November 1869 in Kinlough Roman Catholic parish, Kinlough District. John Ferguson was from Derinloughin townland and his father was Patrick Ferguson. John's mother may possibly be Bridget MacLoughlin. Mary Connolly was also from Derinloughin townland and her father was Bernard Connolly. I have no information about the Connolly family. I have been told by a family member that the Ferguson family had lived in County Leitrim for many generations. I was also told that my great grandfather John Ferguson was a Justice of the Peace. John and Mary had 9 children (I have found them in the 1901 census in Townland Derrinloughan, Parish Rossinver) Patrick born 1870; Anne born 1872; Catherine born 1874; Bernard born 1876; Charles born 1879; Hannah Marie born 1881; Bridget born circa 1883; Peter born 1885; John born circa 1889 and James born circa 1901. According to the Leitrim Genealogy Centre, there were nine children baptized to this couple in the Kinlough baptismal records. Their son Peter was my grandfather who moved to Scotland when he was a young man, married there and then immigrated to Canada. His sisters, Anne, Hannah Marie and Bridget also immigrated to Canada. Apparently his brother Patrick took over the family farm in Leitrim. I do not know what happened to the other members of the family but I would like to find out. I am hoping that someone may have a connection to or further information about these Ferguson and Connolly families. Any assistance or possible leads would be greatly appreciated. Sharon Ferguson

Pat, I've looked at a few websites with which I am familiar, one in particular that shows baptisms and births held by the Leitrim Heritage Centre - there is no birth/baptism listed for a Myles McFadden (or alternate spellings) in the time period in which you are interested. I did look up his name on a Rootsweb database and found that his father's name was Daniel. Griffiths Valuation (an Ireland land tax record) showed a Daniel McFadden in Cloonclare civil parish, Tullyskeherny townland. This was the only Daniel McFadden listed for Co. Leitrim. Griffiths Valuation for Leitrim was done in 1857, so that is close to the birth year for Myles, and the Daniel in Cloonclare possibly was his father. Other McFaddens listed in Co. Leitrim for Griffiths Valuation were a Myles, Patrick, and James McFadden, all in Killanummery civil parish - these could have been relations to your McFaddens because of the similarity in forenames. One name variation you may consider is McPadden - it is very similar phonetically and there were numerous McPaddens in Inishmagrath civil parish in Co. Leitrim - just a thought. If you are interested in trying to track the Daniel McFadden in Cloonclare through the land records, contact me and I can give suggestions of how to use Mormon microfilms - it might reveal approximately when he died, who had the land after he died, etc. Good luck in your search!

I was tied up on family matters. Thanks for the information. Some of your ideas I have worked on a while back. In fact, last year I contacted the Archivist in the Dio. of Providence and She told me what churches were open back in the 1865-1900 time period. I didnt contact them at the time because I knew very little about the family.The state of RI searched the birth dates of the last two born in RI and have no records of their births. At the time I did not have any record of Marriages or deaths of the children. So, I started an organized search of RI indexes and then followed through on any leads. RI records are good and have organized indexes. I have done quite well. Also through city directorys I located a few that went to CT to work. In fact some of the family moved back and forth between RI and CT. They did scatter around the USA, One in LA, One in PA and one in CT, besides my grandfather who came to NJ. The death records gave me the cemetery where several are buried and that lead to other family members with different surnames. I feel I am about three-quarters of the way through the family on civil records.Also I have a couple of church records. None show anything other then an Ireland birth. I usually write the churches and include a donation with my request. As I said I dont write until I have a date for them as I know they wont do my research for me. Still, I find only about half respond and sometimes after long delays. Also, as we have talked about; many of the civil records show "parents unknown." A good source for records in New England and French Canada is the American French Genealogical Society located in Woonsocket, RI. They have over 6000 micro fiche of churches and various other records of that area. I have looked at over 40 of them for RI through their lending library. Every one I have viewed has been retyped in Alpha order, bride and groom, etc. You can view them very quickly. You must join the Society to access the fiche and the charge for postage and handling is very inexpensive. They will send you two sets of records at a time. I am still tied up with other matters but sent this message to thank you for your excellent help. I'll get back to you. Jack

I'm not sure who is inquiring in this post, is it Rose ??? Anyway, there are five families in Corracloona in the 1901 census. There are descriptions of three on a Keaney hand out sheet given to me the day before I left Ireland in 2002. A huge Keaney, Keany Reunion was to start the next day and I hated to miss it. A few wonderful people compiled this sheet. I have Keanys in my family too and if I had my way, I would spend all of my days and nights in Ireland "searching". 1. Laurence-Kate 45, Ellen 13, Agnes 11, Lizzie 9, Teresa 7, Laurence 5 and Bridget 3. (This land is owned by the Chandler family, Mrs Chandlers mother being Bridget Keaney who married Dinney O'Brien. The Lawrence who is mentioned may have emigrated to Minnesota. 2. Catherine-Francis 26, Annie 23, and Hugh 22. Hugh is possibly the grandfather of Eammon Keaney who still lives in Corracloona. Eamons father was John Hughie Neddie. 3. Elizabeth-John 40, Rose 32, Ellin 25 and Edward 23. Place known as Paddy Red Toms and was near Kellys house. Edward wasn't married and was the last to live here. His sister didn't marry and died before him. The family is connected to the James Pat Jimmy Keanys of Cloonaghmore who are descended from John Keany of Cornamon. 4. Denis-Bridget 50, wife Patrick Travers. 5. Mary-not married. As I was told, an old man with a good memory helped make up these notations. This Keany name seems like it would be hard to trace as there are so many in Ireland and the US.
