Records, be it Census, Griffiths, or Church Parish records of BMDs is "the problem" as very few are online (I did find some at www.eastmayo.com). Many of these records (from my experiences with Co. Sligo records) are transcribed from the Microfische records, but then these transcriptions are never forwarded to be put online. So I have started building a database for such microfische records that are transcribed (for Sligo and Mayo Counties around Kilmactigue, Co. Sligo)-- but I have to have the transcriptions sent to me -- so please keep that in mind if you ever run across any and I will put them online at: www. triptoireland.net (have photos there from Knock, and the area until the databases are done). Anyone who knows of the FHL (Salt Lake) Microfische films, or their transcriptions, for these areas please do let me know and send them to me as it seems these microfische get ordered, searched, and transcribed -- but never put online once done UNTIL NOW as I will be when parts or the whole fische are sent to me!

His brother Patrick also came over to England and settled in Birmingham along with their sisters Margaret and Agnes. Thomas Higgins and Mary Kate McNulty nee Higgins remained in Ireland and died there. The majority of Higgins's were farmers and as I said previously Higgins is a very very popular name. You could try the following website www.mayoancestors.com it lists births, deaths and marriages for Co. Mayo up to approx 1900. As there are so many Higgins's in Co. Mayo it is not possible to say that we are connected. However you do appear to have similar names to my family, but that may just be an Irish thing.

Your Grandfather Michael Francis Higgins left Ireland 40 years after mine. My Grandfather JAMES HIGGINS left prior to 1901 where he is listed on the 1901 UK Census as lodging at the Shamrock Tavern 14 Tea Street Prescot Lancashire where my Grandmother MARY ELLEN COMER (nee DONNELLY, who had lost her first husband THOMAS COMER in 1900, was the Beerhouse Keeper. THOMAS COMER came from Carrarodgers Castlebar Co Mayo. As yet I only know my JAMES HIGGINS came from Co Mayo and his father also JAMES HIGGINS was a Farmer. My father was PATRICK JOSEPH HIGGINS born 1908 and his brothers and sisters were JAMES born 1902, JOHN born 1903, FRANCES born 1905, PATRICK born 1908, JEFFREY born 1910, MARY born 1913, JAMES J born 1913 (they were twins) & MICHAEL born 1916. One of JAMES's died at Birth and the other was aged 1 year when he died. The two witnesses on my Grandfather's marriage certificate were PATRICK McDONNELL and KATE ROONEY. I don't know if they were related or not. My Grandmother MARY ELLEN DONNELLY came from Waterford. Where did your HIGGINS's live in UK?

My mom's maiden name is Higgins and all her family come from Pulronhone, Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo. The problem is that Higgins is like Smith or Jones in Ireland and so you will find many dead ends. My grandfather Michael Francis Higgins left Ireland in the 1940s and came to the UK where he met and married an English girl called Violet Newman. Michael had two brothers Patrick & Thomas and three sisters Mary, Margaret and Agnes; his parents were Thomas Higgins and Mary Lavin, his grandparents were Thomas Higgins and Bridget Mullany. I do have some James's in my tree but I don't know anything about them; one was the cousin of my great grandad. If you can find out where in Mayo they came from this will narrow it down; my family are well known in Pulronhone area and all the Higgins's from there are related.

Hi M M,Thank you for your response, it is appreciated.So far I have learnt little of my newly found JORDAN and CONLON family so at present it means I have no supporting info to offer you, however I will take note and while I am searching will keep in mind your Rose and Feury family names. Can you tell me if Kilgarvan was also likely to have been part of Co Sligo?

Earlier Tithe Applotments of 1834, Kilmoremoy Parish of (then) Co. Sligo shows James, Edward, Thady CONLON and a Michael FURY in Rathkip. Also Edward CONLON in Ballyholan and Patrick CONLON in Middle Ferrinmorgan. This Kilmoremoy area became Co. Mayo around 1898.

I know this is a long time since you originally posted but I have been trying to unravel Chambers of Crillaun recently as I am descended from Honor Chambers (b 1861), married name Quinn, father Nicholas, mother Margaret McHale. I have been unravelling the family strands from the cancelled land registry books and at the moment my hypothesis is this: Unknown Chambers and Bridget Chambers (maiden name unknown at the moment) had 3 sons: Nicholas (poss the eldest), Patrick (the one you are interested in) and John. They may have had a sister Bridget but I haven't got that far yet. It looks like Bridget was holding the farm in 1857 (Griffith's Valuation) and in 1862 she gave 1/3 to Nicholas (he would have just married). By 1868 both Patrick and John had also received their thirds... Nicholas died in 1891, his wife Margaret is the head of household at the 1901 census, as are Patrick and John (both 60!). There is also another Chambers family living in Crillaun also called Patrick (Francis) who I think is a cousin of the three brothers (I think their father was a brother of Patrick's father Francis). My father, who grew up in Crillaun remembers descendants of John Chambers and played with some of them, not seeming to realise they were third cousins... If you have any further information I'd love to hear it - as I said it's not easy unravelling them as they all used the same names...there is another family of Chambers in Greenane, same parish who are also related but I haven;t figured out how yet...

I have just found out from the 1911 UK Census that he was born in County Mayo but I don't know whereabout in County Mayo. I have varying dates of Birth ranging from 1870 to 1880. He went to Prescot Lancashire England before 1901 as he was on the 1901 Census at Prescot aged 26 yrs (1875). He married in 1902 aged 24 yrs (1878) in Prescot to MARY ELLEN COMER (nee DONNELLY) who was from Waterford Ireland. They had children named JAMES, JOHN, FRANCES, PATRICK (my Dad), JEFFREY, MARY, JAMES & MICHAEL. Both JAMES's died. My Grandfather died in 1938 aged 68 years (1870). Now on the 1911 Census he says he is 31 yrs. (1880). According to his marriage certificate his father was JAMES HIGGINS (a Farmer). I have been looking at a JAMES HIGGINS & an ANN WALSH from the IGI who have children with same names as our family born between 1866 and 1878 and there is a son JAMES born 24 November 1870 in Mayo. Other districts mentioned are BALLA & KINARY. I don't know of any brothers and sisters of my Grandfather JAMES HIGGINS. Who are the HIGGINS'S in your family?

My last name I'm, trying to trace is LAVIN. I've traced my Lavin side back to Sept. 1878 when my grandfather was born. The Lavin branch are from Castle bar. County Mayo. They settled in Chicago. Good luck in your search. Ken Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have a Ann Lavan married to John Coyne in Claremorris on 2-12-1860. I have hit a brick wall on these families. Didn't know if you had any ideas.
