Hello I am desperate to find where my family lived and were baptized. Iam getting married soon and our wedding gift from my future step daughter is a trip to Ireland ! I want to be able to visit the town where the lived and the church. The only thing I know I found online and are baptism dates. The LANGAN's were Catholic. I apologize in advance for the caps, this was copied from my webpage. *MAURICE (Mauritti) SYLVESTER LANGAN SR. WAS BORN IN IRELAND POSSIBLY ASKEATON OR RATHKEALE IN ABOUT 1836. However one obituary says he was born in Kerry.I do not know who his parents were. MAURICE married MARGARET KENNELLY (many variations on the spelling of her surname)AUGUST 22, 1857 IN ASKEATON, LIMERICK, IRELAND. Margaret's parents were Cornelius KENNELLY and Mary NESTOR/NESTER Maurice and Margaret 11 children but have found only the following. It is thought that there was another Patrick or Michael who had died and the one's here were named the same name.* *Is there anyway I can find what church the baptisms were and where Kate is buried?* *Thanking you all in advance for any help you may be able to give.* *Cris CATHERINE (KATE) BORN ASKEATON, CHRISTENED 10,JUNE,1858 (CATHERINE DIED AS A CHILD IN IRELAND) JOHN FRANCES BORN ASKEATON, CHRISTENED 7,JULY,1860 MICHAEL BORN ASKEATON, CHRISTENED 5,SEPT,1862 MARY BORN ASKEATON CHRISTENED 3,APRIL,1870 JERRY(JEREMIAH) BORN ASKEATON CHRISTENED 30,SEPT,1871 ELLEN (HELEN-NELL-NELLIE-HELENAM) BORN ASKEATON CHRISTENED 7,MARCH,1873 ELIZABETH (SISTER SYLVIA) BORN ASKEATON CHRISTENED 17,MAY,1874 MAURICE S.(JR) BORN ASKEATON CHRISTENED 7,JULY,1875 (my grandfather) PATRICK BORN 17,MARCH 1880 (PATRICK WAS THE ONLY ONE TO BE BORN IN THE UNITED STATES) MAURICE AND MARGARET IMMIGRATED WITH THEIR FAMILY TO AMERICA IN 1877 * --
Cris: Regarding possible birth locs/parents for Maurice Langan: IFHF has the following: Church Baptism Langan Maurice 1837 Co. Limerick Parish: SHANAGOLDEN (RC) Father: John (Shanagolden is to the immediate west of Askeaton RC Parish) Other children born this same time period in Shanagolden RC with father named JOHN: (and so possible siblings to Maurice Langan) Church Baptism Langan John 1826 Co. Limerick Church Baptism Langan Ellen 1828 Co. Limerick Church Baptism Langan Hana. 1828 Co. Limerick Church Baptism Langan Cath. 1830 Co. Limerick Church Baptism Langan Jeremiah 1834 Co. Limerick ALL the above given names appear in your list for Maurice's children, so I'm thinking you ought to look at Langan's in Shanagolden to see what you can find. Happy Hunting!
