Hello to everyone on the list, I hope that someone might be able to help me find where McMahons and Boylands are both located in the same townland or parish...would someone have access to Griffith's? Or is someone tracing one or both families. I have Patrick McMahon m'd to Mary Boyland and parents to son Owen McMahon. Owen came to Illinois about 1845 and I do not know if his parents came with him or not. I know very little of the family history and am just beginning my search. Would like to hear from anyone with information on either or both families...Thanks in advance....Patricia Meyers, Worth, IL

Hi Beverly, I have your placenames and hope that you do have success in finding the records for your family. Kilark = Killark Killark is a townland in the Parish of Magheracloone, Barony of Farney, Poor Law Union of Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan. This townland consists of 172 acres and 5 perches. Cool-dairy = Coolderry Coolderry is a townland in the Parish of Magheracloone, Barony of Farney, Poor Law Union of Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan. This townland consists of 263 acres, 3 roods and 23 perches. To complicate matters, there are two other townlands named Coolderry in the same Poor Law Union and Barony; however, they are in different Parishes. One is in the Parish of Donaghmoyne and the other is in the Parish of Magheross. I decided that the townlands of Killark and Coolderry that I mentioned in the beginning of this message are your best bet, as they are both in the same area. Just wanted you to know that if you don't find them there, then you should look in the other locations. Enjoy!

Suggest you obtain birth/marriage/death records from Massachusetts, if you have not already done so. Massachusetts vital records go back to ca. 1845, and can contain information of much research use. The LDS (Mormon) Family History Library has microfilmed all, and there are indexes to all. The microfilms can be obtained by your local LDS Family History Center for your use there. Also, if they resided in Boston, Boston has kept a separate, different set of records which is in addition to the state ones. Look at both, as the people in question could be listed in one and not the other. Also, city directories can be useful in pinpointing a specific location. Many of these, also, are on microfilm from the FHL.

I am trying to find a birth record (and any other information) re one John Luke MARTIN, born Carrickmacross, Monaghan about 1890. The only other information I have is two location names which I do not have the correct spellings for: 'Kilark' and what sounds like 'Cool-dairy' (the place of birth was given to me by a relative as Kilark, 'Cool-dairy', Carrickmacross, County Monahagn) As well, it is possible that the forenames are reversed - Luke John MARTIN. I would sincerely appreciate any assistance. Beverly in Victoria, BC, Canada

PRONI (Public Record Office of Northern Ireland) have a good website with search facility, there is a section of it devoted to the "Shirley Papers" which deals with the history of the Shirley estate and lists the huge number of rent and other records which the Shirley family left behind including political pamphlets, leases etc. David O'Daly (gg-grandson of Charles Daly of Bocks Upper 1816-1889, tenant of the Shirleys) >From: FINKELANEY@aol.com >Reply-To: IRL-MONAGHAN-L@rootsweb.com >To: IRL-MONAGHAN-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [MONAGHAN~] Partial Index to Shirley Estate Emigration records >Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 07:17:20 EDT > >Krisha, > Could you recap what PRONI is please.

I'm glad I could help some people out there. You may thank Dr. Patrick J. Duffy for his outstanding research on these volumes of records. The italicized passages are from his essay reprinted in the Clogher Record called "Assisted Emigration from the Shirley Estate 1843-1854". Even if your family lived on the Shirley Estate you may not be listed in these papers because your family may not have received assistance from the landlord to obtain passage to emigrate.The original documents reside at PRONI. The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland. There were at least 1300 people involved with the Shirley estate program. There were other estates in Monaghan County. Names I missed on the first list: Kinneghan, Shafferty Mulholland: Emigrants 1844 to America- Mullholland Patk 27/Cath 20/of Listillister/granted 4lb10s Lynch: Emigrants 1844 to America Lynch James 18/no address/ granted 1lb5s Petitions of 1849- Lynch, Owen.

Oct 49: On c7 acres rents paid up, "but bereft of means of supporting a numerous family-- sent some of the children of his first marriage to America, humbly solicits employment in any labouring department to support his little ones but also to put down an sufficient crop next Spring..." Thomas Elliott: William George Smith was a brother-in-law to Thomas Elliott, the Liverpool agent, who looked after the emigrants' welfare. He died in 1851 aged 48. See Shirley, History of the County of Monaghan, p. 368 (Interestingly also, Trench's successor to the agency , George Morant was related to Shirley) (Krisha's note: This is unclear to me, whether Smith or Elliott died in 51. This is a footnote at the bottom of the page) "...Block bookings were made through the Liverpool agent (Elliott, a brother-in-law of WG Smith in the Carrick Estate Office) and passages generally paid to Liverpool." Markey: Emigrants 1844to America Marty (?)

Lisa, This should be relatively easy for you to follow up. I advise you to write to the PRO in Dublin and ask for a photocopy of the birth record of your Elizabeth Connolly, giving her birth year and the placename of Carrickmacross and including the name of her father, John Connolly. When it arrives, the photocopy will list: 1. Exact date of birth 2. Place of birth: townland, Parish, Registry District 3. Name of Father and maiden name of her mother 4. Occupation of her father Once you have that, it should be easy to trace the family back in time. Also, you might want to write to the Carrickmacross Parish Church of Ireland, as I see their records begin in 1796 for births and 1798 for marriage and death. Good luck to you.

The above lists emigrants assisted from the Shirley Estate 1843-1854. My grandfathers name appears and I hope to obtain added information that will help confirm that I have correctly identified him. His name WARD, Hugh, son of Philip WARD and Elizabeth (Duffy) WARD arrived in New York on November 4, 1852. Philip and Elizabeth, my great grandparents originate in Monaghan. My g g grandparents were Thomas WARD and Ophary also of Monaghan. I also notice other Ward and Duffy surnames on this list and may seek more information in that regard later. If you can assist in any way I will be thankful.

Krisha I am also interested in surname Mulholland as shown on your list. Thank you so much. June

Hi, I am seeking information about John Connolly (sadly vague as it is). I don't know very much about him. I don't even know his wife's name at this point. His daughter, Elizabeth Connolly left Carrickmacross and went to Canada in the same year that the Titanic went down. In fact, she was to go on the Titanic but something happened to detain her and she was forced to take another ship. She was born in 1889 in Carrickmacross, and died in 1973 in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. I know that during her married life that she belonged to a Protestant Church in Canada. We also believe that she had an older brother who also left, but went to the United States. However, we have no trail on him either. According to my mother, Elizabeth Connolly Monk never had any further contact with her family after she arrived in Canada. She rarely mentioned any of it. However, it could be that she was just busy with her family and that she had a limited education. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lisa

Krisha, Could you recap what PRONI is please. And is it possible to tell me anything about the McEneney on the list? Where in the clogher record did you find these? Gary McNaney

I have just completed refs. for DUFFY/ co MONAGHAN to AMERICA - if anyone would like to have them please mail me direct: jwilliams@standard.net.au Joan Williams Killarney Victoria Australia http://www.standard.net.au/~jwilliams/index.htm SEARCHING FOR SHEEDY

Krisha, Can't believe all the names that you typed!! Really appreciate your efforts for genealogy. Would appreciate information on Mulholland which was on your list. MANY, MANY thanks. Mary Beth
