Hi! I am trying to trace the maternal side of my father's family. I have found that Maguire is a terrifically common name in Mayo!! Also with differing spellings-McGuire and McQuire. I am working on the following: James Maguire(McQuire) b. abt 1835 or 1837 Mayo , married Apr-Jun 1864 Durham to Julia Ann Quin b. abt 1844 poss Co. Cork. James parents were Hugh Maguire (McGuire) b. abt 1817 Mayo, married abt 1838 Cork to Margaret Biggan b. abt 1820 Mayo. They migrated to England abt 1848. Julia Ann had a sister Mary A b. abt 1843 poss Cork. Their parents were ? Quin and Julia Quin b. abt 1825 Ireland. They were living in 1861 on Henry Street, Barton Upon Irwell, Lancashire. Julia (the mother) poss died 1865 in Durham. That is about all I know of these families thus far.

Sam went to London and worked for the British civil service beginning in 1900 and returned to Ireland (Dublin) after the Irish War of Independence to help establish the Irish civil service. He was a close friend of Michael Collins. His family was Church of Ireland (Anglican) and he was very closely involved with the GAA (the Gaelic Athletic Association) during his time in England as well as when he returned to Ireland. That's why the Sam Maguire cup was named after him after his death. > > What Maguire's are you looking for in County Mayo? Maguire is a fairly common surname in Ireland.

Ballysakeery and Kilmoremoy are two different civil parishes. The civil parishes were generally the same as the Church of Ireland (Anglican) parishes and had different boundaries than the Roman Catholic parishes. Mary Ann in all probability is one person whose property is in both civil parishes. Here's the civil parish map for County Mayo, click on each civil parish to find the names of the towns and townlands in each: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/civilparish/index.cfm?fuseaction=GetMap&CityCounty=Mayo Her location i.e. townland in each entry is called the Tideway of the River Moy. The River Moy is a famous fishing location in County Mayo Here's some information about the River Moy: http://www.northwestfisheries.ie/Moy/river_moy_system.htm You'll see Thomasine Little in the 1901 Mayo census following is a fishery proprietor. There are no surviving census records before 1901. Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 with Protestant marriages beginning in 1845. Church parish records would be the possible source for additional family information if they survive for the years you need. You can contact the Church of Ireland (Anglican) Representative Church Body in Dublin to find out if the church parish records survive for the years you need and how they might be accessed: http://www.ireland.anglican.org/index.php?do=information&id=63 Contact information is included in that link. Staff is very prompt responding to queries. However beginning tomorrow there is a long holiday weekend in Ireland including Friday and Monday so staff won't be there.

Hi Rob, Sam Maguire's family lived in the same townland in Co. Cork for over two hundred years. Sam went to London and worked for the British civil service beginning in 1900 and returned to Ireland (Dublin) after the Irish War of Independence to help establish the Irish civil service. He was a close friend of Michael Collins. His family was Church of Ireland (Anglican) and he was very closely involved with the GAA (the Gaelic Athletic Association) during his time in England as well as when he returned to Ireland. That's why the Sam Maguire cup was named after him after his death. What Maguire's are you looking for in County Mayo? Maguire is a fairly common surname in Ireland. Do you have a location of birth?

Hi. Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, I am tracing Maguire ancestors in Mayo, but having some problems. I thought that the way the Wikipedia article read, Sam Maguire came from Mayo, as Cork was never mentioned. I am not sure if Sam Maguire might be related. He is one generation forward of where I am presently researching. It was on an off chance that perhaps there might be a connection to his parents.Any article that I read did not mention his parents, only siblings. Are you tracing Maguires in Mayo also? Thanks again for your help. Rob Oceanstrands wrote: > Hi Bob, > > Do you think you're related to Sam Maguire? Do you have Maguires from Co. Mayo? > > Sam wasn't born in County Mayo.

Hi! Would anyone have information on Sam Maguire who came from Mayo and became famous in the early part of the Twentieth Century? I am looking for info on his parents and grandparents. Wikipedia only gives info on his siblings. I believe a football (soccer) trophy was later named for him in Ireland. I really would appreciate any assistance or suggestions! I thank you in advance. Sincerely, Rob Canada

Hi Bob, Do you think you're related to Sam Maguire? Do you have Maguires from Co. Mayo? Sam wasn't born in County Mayo. He was born in the townland of Mullabraca near Dunmanway, Co. Cork in 1879.
