I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but the names you are researching certainly caught my eye for the following reasons. I am also researching ROGERS in County Monaghan. My great grandfather, Thomas ROGERS came to America supposedly in 1846, as did his wife, Martha MORRISON, apparently with her parents. They did not marry until 1848, and then in Paterson, Passaic, NJ. They were Scots-Irish and Presbyterian, probably Reformed Presbyterian. One of the daughters of Thomas and Martha married Neil MCKAY. Now according to marriage records and censuses, Neil was born in Scotland, as were supposedly his parents, Angus McKAY and Mary McAULY, Neil born 1858. Of additional interest, however, is that many of the family of my grandmother's sister, Mae McCRAE- her married name (My grandmother is the one who married the ROGERS), were in Canada. I have been trying to locate the address sheet my late aunt had which was from the 1960s, so many would probably be deceased. I find it of possible value, however, that both our families were from County Monaghan, there are similar names and related family members were living in Canada, and I believe it *was* Ontario. These immigrants stuck together - afterall, whom else did they have in their new land but each other? So, please keep me in mind and I will do the same for you.

Good Morning, Looking for information about the family of Robert Ellis BAILIE (b. abt. 1851, Co. Louth; d. Dec. 1911, Co. Monaghan). He married Jane KELLY GIVAN BAILIE (b. abt. 1860, Co. Kildare). Children included Allen and Robert John Ellis BAILIE.(b. abt 1890) Last communication I have from the family was in the late 1920s from Co. Louth. Jane lived in Castleblaney after her husband died and reportedly lived to quite an old age. The family visited the Chicago, Illinois area in about 1905. Have photos. Thank You Cathy

Hello everyone, I spent some time this summer documenting graves in the Donaghmoyne parish in County Monaghan. This has helped several people on the list that I've contacted, and hopefully it will help some more. Here's what I've got: Gravestones at Taplagh Church (Old St. Pat's Graveyard): http://www.irishmcgoff.com/oldstpats.htm (I believe this to be ALL the graves in the cemetery. If anyone finds one that I happened to miss, please let me know.) Gravestones in Donaghmoyne Cemetery: http://www.irishmcgoff.com/GraveyardsinDonaghmoyne/gravesindonaghmoynegraveyard.htm (selected graves) Donaghmoyne parish churches and gravesites: http://www.irishmcgoff.com/GraveyardsinDonaghmoyne/GravesinDonaghmoyne.htm (description of name and directions how to get there) History of the parish with all townlands listed: http://www.irishmcgoff.com/selectedtownlands.htm Map of the Donaghmoyne Parish: http://www.irishmcgoff.com/donaghmoyneparishmap.GIF I hope this helps some of you. I plan on providing more information as I can get my hands on it. The landing page for the website is http://www.irishmcgoff.com Sincerely, Michelle McGoff http://www.irishmcgoff.com Searching for all ancestors in the Donaghmoyne parish, names include MCGEOUGH - MCGOUGH - WOODS - KEENAN - MCQUILLAN - MCENEANEY - DUFFY - CALLAN - TIMONEY - LAMB - FINN - CALLAGHAN - KING - HAMILL and more....

You can take a horse to water - but you can't make it drink I doubt it is something which is specifically Irish. Jane

It's a good time of the year............ Please post your interests to the list - have your surnames in the subject line and you never know who you will find. Jane

Donna - Carmean is in Londonderry and Carmeen in Down. They can both sound the same....... I'd go for Down if I was you..........if you want a choice between Monaghan and either. The surnames Morrison and Rogers both show up as being most common in Antrim, Down and another county in the analysis of births for 1890 in Ireland. There's aman called RaymonD Kelly on the Down list and he maintains a very good web site and does looks ups. He may concentrate on only one part of Down.........

James CRANSTON (1785 - 1853) stated in his naturalization petition that he was born in Co. Monaghan. He is the eldest son of John CRANSTON (1760 - 1823), my 5-great grandfather. John and his family emigrated to the U.S. in 1802. John's father is expected to be named James based on the Scots/Irish naming rule. William CRANSTON of eastern Co. Tyrone had a son Archdeacon John CRANSTON (ABT 1676 - 1762) of the diocese of Clogher of the Church of Ireland, who was seated in Tedavnet in western Co. Monaghan. The Archdeacon's brother Andrew (heir of William) had several sons, including Rev. John CRANSTON (ABT 1720-1800), who was the Archdeacon's curate for many years and was also rector of Aghabog in northern Co. Monaghan. Another son of Andrew, James, is believed to be the aforementioned father of John CRANSTON and grandfather of James CRANSTON. S R C A cott obert ranston nderson phssra@physics.emory.edu

Hi, I am searching Robert Ranson born 1811 ,Ireland, not sure if it is County Monaghan . He married Ann Adams born June , 1814 ,County Monaghan , Ireland. Her parents were Thomas Adams born 1782 and Isabella McBride born 1787 , both from Castleblaney . I have come to a dead end with any of this . I have no idea where else to search or even how to go about it. Any help or ideas would be just wonderful ! Thank you, Wendy rambodog@shianet.org

As per Jane's suggestion, I am trying to find the following from County Monaghan (according to Bible notes from my grandfather's Bible). I know names and dates from the Bible, but have found no trace in records from Ireland or Northern Ireland. Thomas ROGERS, born 1828, from Emyvale supposedly, but possibly born Carmeen or Carmean. Son of John ROGERS and Elizabeth ALEXANDER. (John was born 1760 and Elizabeth in 1793, so John was possibly married another time prior to Elizabeth. John died in 1830s and Elizabeth in 1871.) Martha MORRISON, born 1831, supposedly from same place. Daughter of James MORRISON and Jennie McCULLOCH. James and Jennie/Jane died in USA.

Children of Thomas and Martha, married 1848 in USA. 1)James; 2) John; 3) Mary; 4) Elizabeth; 5) William; 6) Sarah; 7) Thomas; 8) Letitia; 9) Robert; 10) Martha; 11) David; 12) Samuel (my grandfather) Regards, Donna Ristenbatt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ der@redrose.net Visit: ON THE TRAIL OF OUR ANCESTORS http://www.ristenbatt.com/genealogy

I, too, think I am on this site, and I hear virtually nothing. Am I not on it? Or does it need some driven leadership?

I have been trying for years (unsuccessfully thus far) to find some record of my ROGERS and MORRISON families in Ireland. Notes in my grandfather's Bible, as I have stated, have them coming from County Monaghan and specifically from Emyvale. Back in 1846, could someone give me an idea of how they would have travelled to America? I realize this is the beginning of the Great Famine. Would they have walked, gone down a river, to what port, etc. I am really interested in tracing their travelling route. I am fairly certain they came to NYC as a port, because an older brother to my great grandfather had some children in New York and then the rest were born in New Jersey, USA. I have done all my "homework" on this side of the "Pond." Would really like to find some record of them in Northern Ireland. (They apparently "straddled" the current day boundary of County Monaghan and County Tyrone.) Someone mentioned the Tithe Applotment Books. Since Emyvale was in the parish of Donagh, I would imagine that's where the tithe would be recorded, if I understand this correctly? Unfortunately, the LDS Church seems not to have recorded any record for Donagh during that time period - 1823- 1846 when they left. I would love to find some trace of this family in Ireland - any suggestions greatly appreciated as to what "stone" to uncover next. I should mention that they were Presbyterian, most likely Reformed Presbyterian and the PHS in Belfast has not recorded any Reformed or Seceder Presbyterian Churches. I checked out PRONI - am not sure what would be around Emyvale at that time. One last thing, I have learned to check out *all* possible clues. The slightest thing can be the key that unlocks the door. On my grandfather's *cemetery* record, it has he was born Carmeen, Ireland, not Emyvale. Now, I checked Carmeen on the LDS site, and was told no matches. Does that place not exist? Mispelled perhaps? Thank you.
