Dear Diane, I already asked for one surname lookup but if it is possible could you also check for Margaret Hanley daughter of Edward and Catherine Hanley born in Navan circa l830. Thank you again. Kathleen

Hello Diane, I too am in St Louis! Around Tower Grove Park. I would love it if you can keep an eye out for any "McMenamy" names and it's variants. Let me know how long the film is in and which library. I'm going to the LDS library on Thursday.

I would be interested in any Daltons or McGoverns you might come accross, My 3rd g-grandfather, John J. Dalton was born in Meath County (I believe in the parish of Darmstown) abt 1787, the son of Peter Dalton and Nancy Nulty or Naulty. He married Mary McGovern, daughter of Peter McGovern and Mary Casey in 1818 and came to America about the age of 18 and settleed originally in New York and later moved to Wyocena, Wisconsin. Mary McGovern was born about 1797 in Ongentown. Any help you can give me on any of these names would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Mark, you might try working from the most recent event in her life and working back. You might try to find an obituary, or a citizenship application, or census records here in the United States. The 1880 census is available on-line at lds.org and is available to everyone You might also try census records before and after that date. However, the 1890 census was almost completely destroyed by a fire. Most Family History Centers would have a microfilm copy of the census available by ordering from the main Family History Center in Salt Lake City for a nominal fee. There is a list of Family History Centers available at lds.org also. They are open to the public. Also, a marrage record may or may not tell you something. I hope this will be of some help to you.

Hello Meath, I have wandered over from the Louth list, just like my ancestors seem to have wandered between these counties all those years ago. Looking for any connections whatsoever for OWENS in Meath/Louth. Especially in Julianstown, though any information is welcome. They were Church of Ireland, and seem to have been moderately prosperous (had the vote; called Esq. in newspapers & MIs; etc.) This is my known OWENS family in Meath & Louth: 1. Simon OWENS of Julianstown, b. c1770?, Meath sp Christina MCGOUGH b. c1775?, Dublin marr. 28 Apr 1796, St Mary's, Dublin (IGI unconfirmed) 2. male b. bef 1800, Meath? 2. Edward OWENS b. c1800, Meath? ("of Castlebellingham Louth" by 1838) sp Sarah COULTER b. c1812, Dowdalshill?, Dundalk, Louth marr. 24 Feb 1838, Louth 3. Jane Margaret OWENS b. 1839, Castlebellingham, Louth 3. Simon OWENS b. c1841, Castlebellingham?, Louth 3. Joseph OWENS b. c1843, Ireland 3. Thomas Coulter OWENS b. c1844, Ireland 3. Edward OWENS b. c1846, Ireland 3.

They are my g3-grandparents; I have lots of info for the family in Australia after the 1863 move. The following OWENS are probably also connected, joins not yet found: 1.

Yes Owens is a good old protestant name! The only Owens I know was the Revd Owens, one time vicar of Oldcastle and Loughcrew, who became the Bishop of Killaloo (I think that's where it was). This was in the 1950s.

I am trying to find any history on my GGGrandmother Anna Elizabeth Coyle. I have seen the two first names reversed and variant spellings such as Ann, Anne and Liza or Eliza. She was born in Old Castle, County Meath in 1832 or 34. She married Arthur J Grover in London, England in 1852. They moved to New York in 1858. I have scant information on her and need anything you might have or could point me in the direction of. Mark Weaver

Hi Iam also new to list. I am looking for ASKIN(S) and BOOKER. They were in Meath ca 1720's on. Some immigrated to Australia & then to NZ, Others went to England, Canada & USA They married into the Cummins, Evans, families as well. One Francis Askin was in the Army in the 1780-90's. I Any helpor leads very much appreciated. Ivah

Am searching for Arthur Carroll, born August 1818. Emigrated to U.S. 1846 - married Mary Ann Roddy in County Louth prior to emigration. Their first born child was named Elizabeth. Four after her died (3 names unknown) so cannot use the "Irish Naming Pattern). One who died was named John or Johnny. The next 3 children (surviving) were Ann or Anna, Charles, Arthur. All children were born in the U.S. Not sure he did come from County Meath but have exhausted resources in County Louth. Thank you for ANY and ALL advice you can give me to search for him in County Meath. Marian in CA

Sorry, please ignore as this is a test Elain

Hi Bryan Thanks for that. I look farward to hearing from your wife just in case we can connect. many regards MOIRA ps- I like your Bridges! I was on one of them at the week end. My 10 year old plays U12 icehockey and there was a big tournament in Cardiff.

Hi Nancy Thank you so much for all this valuable information you have given me. It has put lots of things in perspective. I am trying to build up a dossier on researching in Co Meath so your e-mail will definately form part of it. I have found some info from the internet but I have yet to try the National Library site. I am especially seeking Army records. My James Cooke Nugent was in the army for over 17years in total and reached the rank of Sergeant before he was discharged due to his Rheumatism. He was discharged in 1800 as a Chelsea pensioner in Chatham in Kent which is probably why he ended his days in London rather than in Ireland. I believe he may have married once he left the army rather than before because his children were not born until c 1810. I still have to find their baptism as they are not on the IGI. many regards MOIRA
